ok, so I'm dense,,,,,    

Hmmm.. gonna be interesting to see how this works out...

But I still don't see what's gonna keep the "hot shots" outta the perk planes, while us low end target drone pilots seldom see em...

Whether ya use "points" for kills, or
K;D statistics = point's, or time in game, seems the end result falls to the better pilots any time you use a "limited access" system.

I'm willing to give it a go, (else ya wouldn't have my CC number     )

So far ya'all have done quite well in producing a game that'll do quite well by the average weekend flight sim person. I just hope it stays that way...

Gawd u guys crack me up sometimes. I can hear the virtual hand-wringing! "Will my plane be a 'points-only' plane???"

Wonder if the cannon hawg'll be availble fer regular play.. or will it be a 'points plane?' (just curious)

Seems to be a neat system; certainly nothin ta get all worked up over tho. At least, not for me. I doubt I'll be seen in anything other than what I fly now... and I can't fathom a dedicated P51D or B/C driver being tempted away from what he loves to fly and fight in for anything else.  

You LW types can have yer TA-152 and Komet and whatever else they had in dribs and drabs.. I'll be waitin with my pony.  

Hey.. can we sell our points???  )

LOL

I think HTC should also let B-29 pilots be able to spend points on nukes.

Sure, model nukes, then model the fact you cannot capture the field for the next 26,000 years....

 Why am I getting this image of a P51 armed with 1c cannons, torque at the stick, eyeballs spinning, with drool dripping from the cornors of a manic grin.

LOL.. a P51H (hang dreams whistfully)... Or even the XP-51F or Mustang V; gawd.. the ultimate uber Mustangs.

But it'll never happen. The LW lobby will fillibuster.
