Hello,

Great game I really like it. These are the things I would most like to see addressed in a title update.

Multiplayer.

You need to start to award kills if a player crashes into the ground or bails out. As I understand it you are only awarded a kill if the plane actually explodes. That is a bit unfair, if you do enough damage to a plane to cause them to crash because their control surfaces have been shot away or they have lost power, or the enemy pilot bails out then the last person to have damaged that aircraft should be awarded a kill.

The damage model could do with toning down, because it is easy (enough) to hit someone but to cause enough damage for them to explode is far too much even when using an aircraft armed with a cannon. In the encyclopaedia section is says how 1 or 2 shots with a cannon would destroy a fighter but that is not the case online. It is no good shooting off control surfaces, forcing the enemy to make a manoeuvre which makes them lose control or destroying their engine because it counts for nothing.

If you could fix it so kills were awarded properly and make aircraft not so resilient to damage would make online so much more fun. Nearly every online game I have played has finished after 20 mins with most people without a kill and the winner on 2 or 3, in 20 mins, yet most people are credited with dieing loads of times, those deaths should count as kill for people that damaged them.

The last online game I played the winner had 2 kills but died 18 times, way more than anybody else, he should not have won, the people that caused him to crash 18 times should have got those kills.

Single player.

Could you add a heading readout to the top left of the screen where ALT and SPEED are, as it is very hard to follow a course in cockpit view as you have to keep looking down to find a compass, on some aircraft I can't even see a compass at all and so have to use virtual cockpit view. But your cockpits are so gorgeous I'd like to be able to use them more.

Thanks for a great game though, it is very good and I think the production values and content are first class.
