I like realism. I like it a lot. But if the realism means that AH will be unplayable ,then FORGET IT.
1-In WWII there were aircraft that took off as soon as a warning was given. Ask RAF on 1940 or Luftwaffe in 1944,so respawn time isn't that unrealistic.
2-And add faulty engines, overheating 100% engine running, low octanage fuel...all this would make game unplayable. No way, IMHO.
3-powerlines, ok...maybe...but BIRDS? hey man I have enough problems avoiding that spit trying to HO me, so dont put me a bird HO-ing me too!!
4-If this thing is modelled,then I'm gone. In my free time I DO WHAT I WANT, THE WAY I WANT and I FOLLOW ORDERS IF I WANT! so clear as that. I have enough orders and tasks in my days to come here and have to follow MORE orders.
5-Cannon rounds NOT fatal? Hey man, come in a p51 and HO my Fw190 and see what happens ok?(and I wont talk about F4U1-C)
6-good point. Yes, soldiers may defende themselves. Give them some 7.9mm MGs, but not very accurate...that is REALISTIC and PLAYABLE. I agree.
7-you men simply dont understand that people like me run at 14FPS when near clouds. Rain will kill tha FR forever. Sorry I cant support this.
8-HUNDREDS? do you want to get bored? No way, man the distances right now arent realistic but they are PLAYABLE.
9-well I have real problems to see where are gun emplacements. Maybe becayse I suck at bombing so here I wont say anything.
10-see avobe. I dont really mind it as I rarely bomb.
11-here we start again...we want a playable sim, and there is nothing more annoying that flying 20 minutes to reach some destination to intercept an enemy...to see there is no such enemy! realistic? yes. Playable? no.
12-I take it as a joke...but It would be fun to see the letter after you are a red spot on the landscape
13-oh, yes...SHEEP fites back!
14-? man I get enuf Exhausted when I keep on playing until 4 am, to see that the computer IS ALSO exhaused
15-look #14
16-Lack of supplies is done by bombing airfield depots, tanks and so. It would be good to see that bombing the city's fuel tanks, the GENERAL fuel situation is at 50% in EVERY field...yeah, that way yes. But if you talk that a RANDOM event not controlled by players makes a field to be W/O fuel...then I disagree.
17-bah, if Bails counts as deaths...why implement this?
18-As I am a limited-english-speaker I dont understand a word of this...so I wont say anyting
IMHO realism is wonderful. But if it is going to kill the fun ,then forget realism. IS as simple as that. I wont pay 30$ a month to fly a hundred miles to the next base...or to be given orders...or so...
