Give me brutal winds and I will figure out a way to harness them.

Stop in MNM and see what you can do with the updraft above 4k

This - Everyones wants everyone else to change so they don’t have to. All the 100s of ideas prolly just won’t happen. That said, everyone has good intensions. But when it comes down to it, ya gotta bend for the game, not the game bend for you, otherwise it will go in 100 different directions to please each one.

I think at this point the most that can be hoped for would be changes to existing settings that can be adjusted, such as the side switch timer, night duration, downtimes and resupply mechanics.  And even this is unlikely, so it comes down to new/reworked maps and skins as being the only potential additions/changes.

Having said that, removing some of the maps, and tweaking a few others, would go a long way towards improving some gameplay.

I think everyone has a different concept of gameplay. Getting numbers up changes a lot. Gameplay with 112 is a different than 130. Once they cross 120 things start popping. <shrug>

Has this thread mutated into "Get out of the timid gameplay because you have more fun (and so does everyone else) when you stop worrying about dying"?

It's probably not as catchy.

Some year back I scored 2 P51 kills in a C47. They were trying to kill me on the deck. Just never give up.

No-one would see you take off with old radar in a C47, or any other plane for that matter, now you're spotted by the time you are gear-up far away from the front even.
Before it gave you a chance closing in on your destination, without detection.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

Yep. Magic radar has made goons useless. Flying takes longer than driving and any chance of sneaking in is pretty much nil. Meanwhile M3s can just park under a tree for hours and you can’t find them.

Why not have some maps with year restriction? Like for example "ETO 1942" using planes used 1942 or so? That would be pleasant for those, who want to fly early or mid=war kites and avoid übersuper ones diving from stratosphere.

I’d be down for that along with a fair amount of others but it think we’re in the minority. Again, it’s probably not going to stop any of the timid game play but least it would be refreshing to see something other than the typical Yak3, Tempest, P-51 parade.
