Hey, another guy that like historical cockpits! No arguments from me in that regards Strike.
I find it hard to believe anyone in real life had a hard time hitting a aircraft because the luminescent cool looking computer monitor graphics in a new sight obscured the limited pixels representing the actual aircraft, but you seem enthusiastic, and enjoying the game experience. More power to you, I’ll just go with the ‘dot’ and be equally as happy.
Can’t agree on your comparisons of ammo loadouts, or FM having anything to do with anything regarding this particular issue, but if we were all the same, maybe we’d all be Bears fans, and how fun would that be?
I know they suck, being right every season has it’s advantages, at someone's expense.
