+1. AMEN! Ditto! Seconded! Priority One!

I'm a pure off-liner and nothing peeves me like unrealistic AI engine management (and unrealistic AI behavior in general). As Burdokva said, it's neither realistic nor fun, which means that it's indefensible no matter how you look at it.

For you purely on-line folks who don't think that AI behavior is an issue, imagine that there were server settings which allowed the host to turn off complex engine management, engine overheat, blackouts and redouts, pilot head shake, clouds and realistic gunnery for one team but not the others, and that you always had to fly for the disadvantaged team. Would you think that was fair? Would you fly on that server?
