still say that for the MA... surprise, the surprise u achieve by "sneaking up" on lone targets that may be at the fridge or bathroom, is about as fun as shooting down AI. Simulating "surprise" in low numbered fights is about as worth simulating as 6 hr flights and the general "real" fact of sparce enemy sightings. People got surprised cause they were bored and half assleep not because they couldn't see the enemy.
'Surprise' from losing SA in a melee is another thing entirely and worth simulating... no... it is an automatic. we have it now.
In a scenario, do as u like. you are trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear anyhow and so a lot of suspension of disbelief and comprimise is required just as it is in the MA.
What I like and don't like?
Like the FM's and gunnery. like the planes and the carriers. Love the canyons and some of the terrain. Love RW and film and being able to join in with another pilot. Love the view system.
Don't like... the long flights and the late war centric setup. Don't like the perk idea or the field capture setup with the gangbang or be gangbanged "fights" it is responsible for.
