I like the thinking behind this thread.

As usual the nay-sayers pop up with these exaggerated "suggestions".
Adding realistic times for this such as repairs isn't within the scope of this simulation.
When you die or lose your aircraft you're simply respawning to control a different pilot.
As IL-2 and SoW is meant to simulate the air battles of WWII, it seems like a strange idea to cut out a large and vital part of these battles, namely how the respective air forces as a whole actually was performing and was matched up against each other.
So, while on one hand you're flying a realistic aircraft modeled in every detail, at the same time you're flying it into a battle that is essentially reduced to a mockery of the actual battle were real people fought and died.
