Well, I'm new, I know I'm new, and already I noticed the massive swarm that accompanies ANY country even close to a victory. And now I know why, the 25 perk bonus to all three stats when your country wins.
Easy fix.
When you start a new character, you have a choice of the three countries to join. Once you choose, you're in for life.
However, you can switch..... if you lose all of your perks.
Best of both worlds I think here, guys. There will be some honor among the pilots towards their countries. There won't be a giant gangbang at the end of every map. And.... rewards stay where they belong. With the true victors.
