Now your babbling complete nonsense, compared to "mostly nonsense". You never flew the IL-2 enough to tire of anything. And now your trying to change the subject. This is done with.

Tour 104, 105, and 106. I'll admit I can get tired of a new toy rather quickly, particularly when it doesn't do anything I find particularly fun. Fight with a plane vs. plane-possibly fun. Shootout with a tank vs. tanks...possibly fun. Strafing tanks with an Il2...almost as much fun as strafing a random section of ground after a while. Strafing WWs with an Il2...almost as much fun as running headfirst into a wall after a while. The boredom of providing flak cover for tanks or the annoyance of being shot at/ack dragged in a low alt furball by the flotilla of WWs they bring after they get angry because someone Il2'ed their tank...usually not so fun.

For your next trick, claim I have no experience with the Fw-190 A5 because I haven't registered many kills with it......lately.

Clearly something we need more than the new Il2 gun package in an unlimited fashion, and have needed for a long time to prevent GV horde-rolling, is to make ords porking (and possibly hangar banging) much, much harder. Dive-bombers represent a good air/ground effectiveness balance ingame because they can take out ANY vehicle potentially, yet the vehicles can defend themselves pretty well through mobility, the number of "shots" a divebomber has is quite limited, and it requires grabbing at least a little alt.

I said the Il2 w/37MMs is perhaps a powerful enough anti-vehicle tool to be perked lightly. In all fairness, I've decided the wirble is perhaps powerful enough in its role relative other AA vehicles to deserve a light perk too.

You (and perhaps others) have argued with sentiments along the lines "But we need unperked Il2s to defend against GV hordes who attempt to roll us after porking the ords and destroying the VH with a couple of suicide jabos." Which is in fact a good point.

I suggest that in that case perhaps what we need is actually to make the porking harder/impossible.

Not that hard a progression for anyone to follow, unless one is being willfully difficult.

Then we get four pages where you decide to ignore what I'm actually saying and accuse me of having a vested interest in vulching/spawncamping/hording/satanism because you disagree with me about how to balance the game.
