So when the enemy fighters get you, you get frustrated for spending so much time without having actually done that much, only to meet a swift fiery death at the end of a fighter's cannons.


Some of my fondest on-line memories involved flying a bomber on a full switch server. And it was very rewarding to take out one or two fighters, by jumping around and maning a gun. Sometimes seeing "Enemy Aircraft Destroyed" after many minutes of flight time after the battle, on the way home. Then limping home, trailing smoke (spawning aircraft on the ground seeing you were in trouble, and clearing the runway) and then having a successful landing. Certainly was very exciting for me, and challenging. Now with SOW, the choice to fly a bomber immersion level will be even higher
