I cast my vote to keep it, but I think the option of 'keep it but tone down the guns' is the worst of all possible ideas. Arbitrarily toning down the guns for play balance is a bad direction to go IMHO. I'm all for giving the Hispanos a thorough rectal exam to ensure that the rounds aren't too fast or to heavy or whatever, but just 'tone em down' is not right. I believe in the other thread someone even suggested reducing the ammo loadout. Talk about a step in the wrong direction.
The idea is to make this sim as realistic as can resonably be expected. Since the HogC saw almost no action in WWII, yet it clobbers a large chunk of the arena every night in AH, it already has a problem by its very existence in the game. Now that it's here we have to figure out how to make it fit in. The best way would be to have historical arenas, so the HogC would be almost never seen, but that ain't gonna happen soon.
The next best way, IMHO, is to verify that the Hispanos are not porked. Then, we just live with the HogC, just like we'll have to live with the Me-262 and whatever other uber planes come along.
It could be worse, we could be flying some other sim.
