Pilot Characters

[choctaw111]

I don't really think the pilot attributes is a good idea.
The pilot attributes that we have now are simply as good as we are able to fly.
That is to say that not all simmers have the same skill.
Oleg has already said that Il2 is not a sim where everyone can become an ace or a good pilot.
That is determined only by the players skill.
Not the same when you can fly long enough, get pilot attribute skills and wind up having better "skills" than a more experienced pilot. Even then a seasoned pilot may win a dogfight over someone who just has pilot attributes.
A good pilot can win dogfights in an aircraft that has poor performance compared to a mediocre pilot in a better plane.

Worst idea ever.

Experience you gain while flying. We all started rookie. Some stayed rookie after 6 years of flying and some became aces. We have all different attributes in real life, and even though all characters are the same in IL2, our own attributes shows while flying the game :

patience, skill with the joystick, spotting enemies, etc...
