Sometimes I wonder if the maps in this game had bases that were at 10, 15, 20, 25K, and how it would affect game play. And how it would make certain airplanes shine more then they do.

I can honestly say the best fights Ive ever been in have used the entire air column, while in airplanes designed to do so. Just having one map like that in the mix would be fun. We'd see much more what the skies of Europe in WW2 were like. Imagine throwing night in there as well, or "close to night".

I've brought up this night arena business before. Based on what I understand of the role of the nightfighters in WWII, it'd be a somewhat more abstract pursuit than our typical daylight loot and shoots. I also think its more of a team sport. Otoh, once the GIB manages to get the pilot in vicinity of the blip, things might turn more interesting - and what about spy versus spy? Consider the Black Widow versus the Uhu at night.  Meanwhile, there is that Dogfights! episode about the use of sans radar P-40s at night...

But, don't be surprised if the office-chair brigade takes one hellacious dump on the idea - and they might even be right.

Turning in a 190 (any kind of 190), now thats pretty damn hard for me.

Turning in the A8 requires you to land at an airfield, turn the plane by lifting its tail to desired direction and take off  

Seriously, you can turn, but it feels like you throw out an anchor speed-wise doing it.
My 20 years of  IRL flying experience  is that its damned hard slow down even a radial yak for landing.
