The point being discussed was realism.  Bombing too accurate, gunnery too good, fighters too good.  Whine...whine...whine...

So my point was, want realism?  Get rid of auto combat trim (make flying realistic, not game console easy) and all the other flight management stuff that is built in to the system to simulate pilot skill/management ability on all aircraft and other crew members working on the Bomber.

Heck, I have even heard whining about buff external views.  The external buff view simulates all the input one would have from your crew looking out their various windows and reports from crews in the other drones.

Heck, I think the E6b should be displayed digitaly in the bomb sight.  Having touched and played with the Norden bomb site in the Collings Foundation B17 9O9 I am glad AH has not taken the Falcon 4.0 technique of having one have to manipulate actual controls and knobs.

If one does not want a buff killing a base from 10 to 20k, then up a fighter, climb out and patrol.  Not as much fun and the turn and burn.

Nuff said, no longer monitoring thread and here is your cheese.
