Can we have buff spawns?

So we now measure one's skill by their ability to take off with out auto-take off?

No Ack-Ack, its simply a realism factor...

Dedalos, you took it wrong, probably from my poor explanation.  Taking off in different planes is totally different.  You don't feel the difference if you always leave auto-take off on or if you never re-arm.  The problem being that people just seem to think the battle is in the air.  Well, if you can't get off the ground, you can't fight.  I never said that the battle is determined in the air because of the take off.  I am strictly talking about takeoff's.  There may not be a "need" to take off the auto-takeoff option but it would definitely be more realistic...

This is more than a game, this is an opportunity to learn about flying and simulations.  Why not make it as real as it can get to a reasonable point?

Understood, but there is no skill in it.  Full throtle, little ruder, done.  Three tries and you are a master.  Plus, it gives me time to reach for my beer

Send a copy of your AARP card to Hitech, they will elevate you to senior status and give you two free tickets to the buffet  lunch each month.

I'm going to start using the AR 234's more, I don't think I've actually ever flown one other than a test flight or two. What the heck are they good for anyway? Low level sneak attacks?

Don't waste your time.  They're really not good for much anymore, since they carry so few bombs (only 3 500 kg bombs).  They might be good for drawing a cloud of airplanes toward you and away from their normal cap of a field, but that's about it.  It's also cheaper than a 262 when you want to go CV hunting.
