No links or further information on that pop up window. No full names. A large number of online players probably do not know much about the planes on the list. A few do, but many do not.
I don't agree. Don't forget that Arena message clearly stated for at least, I think, a week before the voting what was going on, saying what planes were to be voted and where to find informations about them.
Of course, I don't think anyone ran to read the forum or Wikipedia or a book (prolly someone didn't even read the Arena message), but I guess the vote was/will be not that uninformed... and don't forget that the planes were discussed and debated on radios, too.
Of course a certain share of the players will cast a vote with little idea of what they're voting for, but this always happens, everywhere.... after all we had Berlusconi and you have George W., isn't it?
Hub, Bruv, I don't think tedrbr meant what you're saying. He just wanted to say, IMO, that most of the people will vote with more knowledge of the history of a plane than of its performance and stats. While, being MAs still the bulk of the game, the latter should have more importance in choosing a new plane. At least, that's what I read in his words.
