It is chaotic reading the opinions and views on how the game should be changed or how changes should be implemented.  It would be good to let everyone who logs on to vote yay, nay or abstain on things like the proximity locations (AWACS).  Obviously there would be presidential veto power on any issue, but it would let us know if it is the majority or minority are pushing the changes.

We know how bbs feels, not so much actual players in game

Your system is good, but imo it needs to run in game on clipboard, isolated to game

Agreed, on select subjects

Here=BBS

I do not think it will be much different from what I’m already getting. Only one way to know. I would target the FSO and scenarios players that don’t do the MA. Could be a game related or simply time available. HT knows who they are.

Also, the main arena barely crests 100 people anymore. Who are we missing that players in the MA but not here? I don’t think the Delta is as large as it used to be.

Maybe - maybe not, but in game you know its pure. I could prolly toy with VPN and vote 10 times

Not sure why anyone would object to in game over public

My link is available lol.

Also just because the fans want something isn’t the way to run a business. Ask the Yankees.

As I stated a disclaimer that a poll will not automatically change anything.

Yankee what?

HT ask on bbs for opinions, same thing but wider response.

I’ll leave it there. Not up to debating the obvious

NY Yankees… I was using sports as a metaphor if any sports team ran the club the way the fans wanted they’d be bankrupt by the second year. The Yankees are a good example because the fans think without winning a championship everything was a failure, but from a business standpoint, the Yankees absolutely knocked it out of the park as far as the front office is concerned. $$$$$

I’m down to vote on all kinds of things.

First on my list would be.

Do you think the Yak3 is overly robust?

Yes: That thing soaks up more ammunition than 6 formations of B-17s and needs some tuning.
No: Just fine as Russian plywood clearly is known to be impregnated with titanium and the dope and fabric was coated with Teflon.

Well basically thats not and opinion- IMO
One just compares real life stats to game stats.

I think 50 cals are weaker in game, do I know this as fact? No, never dug into it

I didn’t say anyone was. But to debate it suggest it doesn’t matter

I didn’t think my every word needed policing into an offshoot convo on exact proper wording to your approval.

I don’t care about your clique

Seriously though.

There could be some good polls that might trigger some fun, resurgence, or outright things we never really thought would be fun. I have plenty of ideas that have nothing to do with radar.

One that’s been bouncing around in my head…

What if, for one day a month (say after/before a score reset) we shut down the MA and test some player ideas/battles/setups. Would that be OK or is it a step too far?

It is strange that a plane so light can also be so tough, while the ENY value is generous to put it mildly.
The Yak-3 is a late war monster.  Well above average to excellent in every metric and it's super easy (barely an inconvenience) to fly.
