I hope you weren't ironic.

You're the T4T from SoV, right?
It's was always great fun to watch you play with 5 enemies on your tail - and often even get away!
Your defensive skills rock.

Oh ... my previous post has disapeared ... probably banned because I didn't say something positive about BoB ... (I was only saying: '4years of delay and the wheather effects won't even be available in the first release ... is it considered as trolling to say the truth ?)

Question to the moderators:

On this forum are we allowed to say that something looks wrong in BoB updates or will we be banned for 'Trolling' if we don't say what we really think (like during the bolchevic period ) ?

That doesn't sound terribly constructive to me Redwan. I'm not surprised the mod took issue.

I'm sure many of us are disappointed about the dynamic weather but venting in the update thread isn't going to bring it back.

You have to spot him ~2.5km away - even at hd he has enough pixels to spot him.

This not addresses only at you but all those who share this pixel disadvantage opinion:

1. SA can not be compensated with more pixels.

2. Even if you spot him at 200km and you have an alt advantage of 2km - if he's an ace, he will whoop your a$$ whatever you do.

There are people out there with 10'000s of kills and several thousand flying hours - even if you had an AWACS you wouldn't stand the slightest chance.
It's the pilot not the pixels.

Why do you think that talking about the weak points of BoB isn't constructive ?

If the wheather effects are not nice why can't I say it ?

1. where is the constructive part?
2. there are NO effects, so can't even dislike them
3. feel free to be disappointed, but please refer to point 1

May have had more to do with how you said it?

If people are respectful they can usually say what they want.

Maybe I want to make a decision, if I want to attack?!

Aireal combat is all about seeing the bogie or bandit first and move yourself in an good position for either retreat or attack.

It´s crucial to have the ability to realize a contact as early as possible.
I just dislike to screw down my resolution to visually recognize a bogie - because it might be overseen with higher resolution.

Therefor I ask for a mechanism to show contact in a comparable size.

Thus not having to cope with the downside of unrecognisable dots in higher resolution.

I think thats not to complicated to understand!

I think we all understand what you're saying and that it is a disadvantage - but it's an unavoidable (?) consequence of using higher-res screens.
