What if?

You had 1 AH life per day?

Or, per hour.

Most of the time, this is how I fly AH... to ~stay alive~, and contribute something worthwhile to the team effort.  I routinely run my P-51 out of 100% fuel two or three times (rearm) per flight and even so, my kills per hour is atrocious lol.  (my gunnery is really terrible... far worse than way back when I was on cable, I often think it has to do with my backwoods hick run ADSL isp).  But, I think this is the cost of maintaining good SA and keeping my paper-mache, bb shooting P-51 free from damage.

It's a fair question I'd like to see discussed.

Cutting down my aces high time down to about 5 min if that happened

It's better used in the special events. Too many people would log off, get bored, and never be ever to develop their game based on dying too much. It would kill the fights.

It is a fair question, the answers to which will probably fall into the old simulation v. game categories.  From the latter perspective (mine!) I think this would discourage fights because it encourages survival.  But there's no doubt that your suggestion more closely resembles real life.

I think way too many people act like this is already the case.

The chest thumping on 200 would go way way down if this were the case.   People fly recklessly because they know they can get another airplane...

It'd get rid of the ones who could back it up, I guess, but there would still be plenty of yappers.

I have absolutely no regard for my cartoon pilot, and am quite fond of making him die a horrific death in all possible methods in game. So the more I have him screaming and messing his flight suit the better

This. I would not play. Think running is bad now?

You'd end up with an arena full of players not wanting to fight.  There are already enough timid pilots on this game, no need to encourage more.

yup,you think the runstangs and run90s are bad now 

[DmonSlyr]

It's mostly due to the fact that the planes are not limited to time zones and region barriers in the MA. 190Ds would have a hard time running against p51Ds, high P47s, and Temps. Of course it will be harder to stay alive in mid war-early war planes in the MA. This means more people would fly high late war planes in general very fast and very cautiously.

This scenario of 1 death per pilot is something that works best in the special events arena, like FSO. The planes are more fairly matched, and you partake in actual missions designed to bring a sense of realism.

I didn't suggest anything.  Just a question.

It's been tried it sucked
