but you know this is not a flight sim simulating WWII, its a giant complex death match with WWII AC.
AmOn, that should be a bit of an epiphany for most of the AH players! You are not far from Buddahood my friend

Man every time I see the word "Realistic" kicked around, I nearly fall off of my chair laughing

AH is a great game! I freakin love it, but realistic??? I mean give me a break!

AH is a great/fantastic on-line first person shooter, with a WWII aircraft theme. The Arcadish [yeh I said arcadish, the truth shall set you free to enjoy the game my friend

] MA is a furballing madhouse, gang-bang and vulch or be gang-banged and vulched, flight sim with a slightly overly difficult to fly FM that is marketed as "more realistic" . A few bombers and gvs thrown into the mix, to stir things up. The furball moves from base to base, and occasionally between them as mostly uncoordinated base captures are initiated. I mean a 3 way war?? Every country flies the same type of unlimited number of planes??? That makes for great game play but not realism.
So why take out your hostilities on the C Hog and the -4???? Probably a cultural thing, certainly no more based on rationality than the myth that AH is "Realistic".
Instead of perks, why not change the planeset at every reset, say, early, mid and late war planesets. This would not add "realism", but may add to gameplay
