GV's - Yes they suck but I can ignore them easily. They aren't strat-monsters anymore.
Engine managment - The only prop combat sim I know of with better engine management is in closed beta. There's one boxed sim with some cool engine effects but tragically annoying flaws in the modeling.
Damage model - The only prop combat sim I know of with better damage model is in closed beta. Some have better damage model graphics but that's the extent of it.
Metric cockpits - Non-issue for me. I'm biunital.
New maps - We have more new maps now than we have ever had, and more than the competition has.
Weather effects - As compared to what? Clouds, storms, wind, they are all here. Do you want better graphics?
Torque - Non-issue. Torque is quite easy to calculate.
Dweebs & Arena Imbalance - Now this is a good topic for whining but dweebs are an unchangable part of the gaming universe. The costs of stopping dweebery are worse than the dweebery itself.
Internet Connectivity - They are fixing it so it's hard to keep up my whining.
Biplanes - Don't like 'em.
CV Hiding - Don't fly CV planes much, don't care about MA strat.
Spits & Perks - CT has free Spit 14 and Tempest.
Come on guys you can do better. Gimme some help here!
