Ah but that is only talking about the poor who can only afford a single engine. You are forgeting the dedicated bomber nuts, that are certainly not going to join in, in that gang bang. But will let the little tykes play with their furball while they make a wide circle around them and plaster their bases. And the furballers will be just wondering how that could happen. Pretty much the same as in IL2.

Oh man, forget it!

I like to rain on such parade too much to miss it.

You know, "well look at me, I'm tough experten who flies 10min sorties on WW view, I eat Spitfires for breakfast and use Hurricanes as toothpick".

These types I like best.

A 10 min kickban is a good motivator for surviving your sortie.

A personal stats' reset too.

Never understood why people pick a simulator game and then play it all helps on, yet still whining how its too difficult or like in the case of il2, "why no missiles". Then all the rules: "no bnz", "no vulching" etc.

We need a purists' club.

Sad fact that purists are minority, and also rather sad fact is that they are practically the only ones who should be playing this in the first place.
However we all know that sales must be up so there must be compromise.

Which, in my case, mainly consist on reading wonder woman aces (boasting, whining, charting etc.) stories on UBI, 1C forum or somewhere else.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.

Count me in as well! I really hope CoD will penalize the lazy, I haven't got time, can't be bothered, never read the manual, it's not allowed mob. We'll need two squads though, one blue, one red...

You snobs realize that if only you purchased/played flight sims there wouldn't be any, don't you?

Penalize someone for enjoying the title in their own way?

Idiots, the lot of you.

Well, thanks for that! I do wonder why someone would want to buy the "most realistic" flight simulator and then never use it's realistic features, perhaps you could explain that?

It might well be the most advanced combat flight sim ever,but there will still be a rather large group that just want a WW view,and fly around shooting stuff down,and blowing stuff up.
I personally like full switch settings,but am quite happy for others to play with arcade settings on another server.I would be more than happy if there is a server setting to turn points off!
Each to their own really.
