I mean all this not-enough-fuel fixations, RAF being in disadvantage with full tanks etc.

What will ACTUALLY happen with the online 3D-AIR-HALO point whore brigade is they will meet up mid channel and there will be a gigantic WWI style furball 10km off the coast of Dover

Bingo!

And you know... if that makes people happy there is no reason to rain on their parade. Everyone has different likes.

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.

That's just another play style that I'm very happy to see accommodated. Sometimes they coexist on the same server and sometimes there are dedicated coops and servers for that sort of organization and coordination. I've done both and I will continue to enjoy both for their unique angles on the game.

It's all about the variety... some people just focus on fighters. Some fly bombers and some fly tactical aircraft. If everyone did the same then the online experience would be boring

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.
