I think gixer is asking to dump the current playerbase in favour of the masses who wouldn't have the patience to play this game anyway. In other words become war thunder

Steam is not a reflection of our client base.  Not even close.  The real statistics come much closer to our reality.

Well since HT isn't willing to share "the real statistics" or allow a forum based user poll. Can only go by what's publicaly available.

Ask the question, does the game match the current user base, or does the user base match the current state of the game visually.

Anyway, can't discuss any further, I've already received PM from HT.

Sorry can't discuss any further see my reply to Skuzzy.

Someone will have to open a dedicated thread with HT approval to discuss.

I'd rather have the fantastic flight model and lots of interesting toy planes than photorealistic landscapes myself. My flying started some time ago as a space pilot in the wireframe universe which was Elite on the BBC Model B, so AH looks brilliant to me. As long as I pretty well know where the ground is and have the good sense to fly in the other direction, I'm happy.  :banana:

Those who would trade essential graphics for an above average flight model deserve neither.   :old:

Is the flight model so dear, or view distance so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me awesome graphics or give me death!

I think we have what is essential. There are plenty of eye candy games available.

wish granted...you can now go to warthunder or world of warplanes and enjoy the "awesome graphics" without being held back by the view distance or the flight model.
