This is a fact that happens all the time. I should know, getting your turret knocked out is a bit frustrating but the Ostwind doesn't have a canopy/hatch. It's an open top design and the gun crew is very vunerable to all calibur of weapons. Not complaining, it comes with the territory.
I realize that HTC wants this to be a WWII based flight/combat sim, and that is fine by me. If they want to add every aircraft ever to see the light of day, be my guest. I don't fly but rarely, so it doesn't make any difference at my end.
I guess the only small complaint I have is, why do so many get all up in arms about a GV that I would like to see added to the game when that's what some of us enjoy? As if it takes away from the 50 plus plane choices you already have?
There has been lists a mile long in these forums for "planes that need to be added"
Seems no matter what planes are considered or not, the community still whines and moans about "perk" this and "perk" that and thats a "dweeb" plane and on & on, It's like a no-win.
The amount of planes and choices compared to GV's is stagering. There is really only a small number of actually useful GV's in AH anyways. When is the last time you saw a 5 LVT's, 2 M16's and an M8 attack or defend a base?
Seems the community and HTC needs to deceide what type of game/sim they would like to have. If it is going to be a WWII based flight sim, then it should be just that. You would of course have to take away all the puffy ack, SB's, field guns, GV's and the like. Then everyone could just fly A/C and dogfight 24/7
On the other hand, if it is to be a WWII combat sim, then by all means have tons of planes, GV's, gun platforms, artillery, cities/villages and towns. Roadways and railroads, supply ships and command centers. Something for everyone!
Just a thought
