I don't mean ban wep, just make it an option for online, like fuel and ammo.

It would still have been better to reduce the WEP to a realistic level, it just seems too powerful in climbs which plays hell on altitude advantage. But the blackouts have solved the dang 10-second sustained problem, more or less.
Now if a plane starts flying oblique loops at 280kph it's in trouble. Problem fixed.
But the scoring system isn't really fixed. Docking 1 point for a crash still gives a player with a damaged plane no incentive to keep it in the air, unless they're good enough to win 4 out of 5 times with a winged plane. Gun kills are always credited but only if there's enough damage. If you wing your opponent, then outmaneuver them till they stall and crash, or run into a tree, still no kill. It would be better if a crash death deducted 3 points.
Also is there any explanation anywhere of how the online rankings work? The stars are as mysterious as ever.
