Pyro rule:
2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.
X2Lee, airbumba, Masherbrum, Grits, kj714, IK0N, RTSigma, gunnss... et al- did you all miss this rule? Just wondering... AKFokerFoder - it's a valid logic to assume that in an attempt to resolve the side balancing, it is possible that gameplay may have been sacrificed. But I do believe the rules kick in only when the numbers are over a limit - that limit is unknown.
There could be other gameplay issues to make gameplay more enjoyable - limited numbers of late war aircraft per side because industry was targeted, limited fuel for each country because their fuel factory was hit, lot of other great gameplay stuff to impact and balance gameplay.
One of the hardest issues Pyro and HiTech have to deal with is making the non-vocal majority happy, and keeping in check the vocal minority. Having been there, that is very very hard to do.
