Just one more thing came to my mind concerning CEM: The turbo supercharger lever. I anxiously awaited the not so easy to control turbo supercharger control right before FB came out with the CEM and P-47 announced and was kind of disappointed that this had not been modelled back then. The P-38 would have the same control. I've seen that in a real P-47 training film (no. 107-c - how to fly the P-47, high altitude flight and aerobatics) that I found on the net around that time (p47highfly.avi, can't find a link anymore). Basically it's needed to control the exhaust waste gates (and therefore the amount of exhaust that drives the supercharger) while climbing and then reducing the manifold pressure to keep the supercharger impeller below 18250rpm.

Oh yes... that one needs a complete overhaul. I just would say it is a real issue because many people are "score driven". Getting a proper scoring for my efforts gives me a good motivation. And the worst killers are things like "only 10% score because you have no fuel left or your engine ran dead" while I still managed to bring the plane back in one piece with a nice landing. You can get the most score now by just bailing out. It would be cool to get score for returning a badly damaged plane back to the base alone.
I had proposed quite some stuff ages ago in the ORR. Too bad the Ubi forum staff deleted it so I can't dig it out anymore. One thing was that the weapon usage should be taken into account for scoring as well as effective hits with these. WarBirds had this and even the good old Dynamix series (Aces and Red Baron) had a score system based not just on kills, but also on gunnery and bombing skill. And some kind of "kill sharing" across those who shot at the target, split up considering how critical the damage they did each. So if pilot A shoots up B's controls and then C comes and severs B's wing off, A should still get some score for doing that critical damage instead of giving C all the score. That would also get us rid of those "that kill stealer just sprayed some ShKAS at the burning wingless wreck just to get the kill"-situations. I think
everybody hates getting his kill stealed. Should also be considered while revamping the AI. They like to steal kills, too.
