In defense of my original post:
Morpheus - My suggestion does not apply to situations where you are outnumbered in some furball in some part of the map - good SA can fix that - I am talking about when there are only a tiny number of planes defending the last 2 fields when an enemy is close to winning the reset.
In this situation it is highly demotivating to be one of the 10 remaining bish planes flying, desperately fighting on the deck over a mostly capped field, when hey-ho here comes the newbie la7 and headons you, robbing you and your opponents the chance of a decent fight with a hint of the elightening ACM which Arlo posted. I think that the change in model would impose a limited restriction on the team with numbers - Kills are likely to be easy (since you have numbers) but you are going to have to try just a little bit harder since the HO wont work. Further more you have to be a little bit wary of your opponent - Although he is likely slower and lower (doing the desperate defending thing), you better make sure you dont present him a headon.
I personnaly dont think this is as laughable idea as you do - I think it would add to the gameplay experience, which is why I posted it to this forum.
On of you guys said you could always avoid headons - I diagree: when you are in a defense 3 v 1 and you are going slow, your only chance against the la7 diving in at speed is to (briefly) pass him headon - yes you try to skid/roll etc, but when you are in the "desperate defense" mode I am talking about, you dont have many options for avoiding it.
RTR- yes the country with a low number of planes might take advantage of the headon - yes it is human nature- but I know that even with my limited skills, if I am in the team which has the numbers I can sneak away, regain e, and come back with enough energy/speed to avoid headons.
I am not sure about the difference between getting rammed and getting HO'd, so maybe the rest of the posts are addressing the real problem
thanks
