But other than that this idea is AWESOME! But seeing has how I'm on a roll with my speculations

If you look at the demo, on the main screen, there is an option that says "TRAINING." This could very well include something like a free-flight option so you can get the hang of things, but I would LOVE the inclusion of having to go back to base for ammo and fuel as that would add to the immersion factor x 100000.

Anton did state you can use the training just for free flight. But if you host a private match you should be able to do what you want, there would be no AI.

Well 18 people so far like this idea. I'm disappointed that only 18 people have voted. Come on people, cast your votes. Post your comments, suggestions etc........Lets get the Dev's attention.

I mean how hard could it be for them to add a feature in MP where you stack up one team with up to 8 planes, and the other team has AI? I know they can do it. Throw in extreme simulation(ammo, fuel, damage, physics) and you have one hell of a game mode, and it is a simple solution to coop. Add ground targets, a few friendly and enemy airfields, some flak cannons, maybe even a fleet of ships out at sea......

The possibilities are endless as to what they could do with an Arena Mode. This would also be a good way for clans to practice dogfighting manuevers. The AI could even be set to random patrol patterns, or to engage your team like Human players in a multiplayer match would. Over G Fighters had a feature in Strike Mode where you could go head to head against an AI plane or up against 4 planes. It only had the ability for singleplayer, but it did let you choose your starting altitude, their starting altitude, your starting bearing, as well as the starting bearing of the AI. Also allowed you to choose the starting distance from the enemy. I use it to practice evasion techniques, and engagement techniques from various angles of engagements so when I go online, I'm prepared for any situation. Practice going up against 2 planes on my six oclock high, or 3 planes at my 12 oclock low......approaching head on, or chasing them, or being chased.....

So the demo didn't persuade you to buy it?

Trust me when i say it did. I'm just saving up for priority 1, which is not this game.
