forgot how much more intelligent discussion was back then. That type of post would have been trolled and locked out by post 5 or 6 now.

It's realy pretty simple you have to make sure that most of the time engaging is worth the risk of dieing or people will tend to engage only when they have a big advantage.


The game could use a heavy dose of this right now.

Engaging is GOOD!

It's why we all play this game.

Or, just give everyone life points.  Die and lose points.  Run out of points--you're forced to earn more (haven't figured out how, yet) before you fly again.

I greatly enjoy scenarios, squad ops, snapshots, and close escort -- those all have more realistic elements than does the main arena.

Still, I like the main arena a lot the way it is because it allows me to practice any plane I want in preparation for scenarios and the like and because, for periods when I don't have a lot of time available, I can jump in and get into some action quickly.

I also like the Axis vs. Allies arena, which I just played in for the first time yesterday, because it also is more realistic and was a blast.  Massive Ju-88 raids, realistic plane sets, etc.

Combat Tour will add another level of realistic environment.

So, there is a spectrum available, from jump in and fight to realistic scenarios, and much in between.  It is good to have this spectrum available so that all tastes are accomodated.
