people will still fly in MA a majority of the time to hone their skills, in a way MA, with its open plane set is like the mock battles the airforce used to set up to train pilots.
TOD will be more live action and will involve more cunning, not just showing who has the fancy stick skills. Staying alive and keeping your wingmen alive is really exilerating for some of us, just the thought that someone could pounce you any moment will keep me on edge and the ol heart pumping. Taking someone down in a realistic situation is much more rewarding than just being thrown into a furbal again and again and again.
Its the old argument of game vs simulation, irl challenging a buddy to a dual and chasing tails was a game, naturaly that would work well in a pc game. {MA angle}
there's nothing like the real thing, and unfortunately its really hard to get just a part of the real thing in a pc sim, and even trying to sell the idea can result in eye rolling, but even if it works just a bit it can be really fun. {TOD angle}
When you get tired of "training" in MA head to TOD for "the real thing" when "the real thing" gets too tiring, presuring or plain boring, head to MA.
at least thats the rational im hoping TOD will offer.
