I don't really mind full switch, but I hate the accidents on runways and fields, especially in co-op or squad missions, due to poor visibility. How many times did I or someone count the planes leaving in front, start to roll and hit the guy in front, or get hit by the guy behind.

A ground controller that waves or a radio message that you're clear would do the trick, or canopies that open. But I don't see those appear in any official version of the game anytime soon.

You know you can hit brakes, open some throttle, and kick rudder. That makes your plane turn and you can see what is in the front of you. I was asked can I do that before my first SEOW mission. I said I can. I was ordered to do it, which I did.

Now the problem seems to be that you fly with people who don't know the basics or just lack the discipline needed. I suggest you to join in some very great squadron where things are teached and which doesn't lack the discipline.

If you don't know what to join, just join in =69.GIAP= and they will teach you everything and you can enjoy disciplined group takeoffs in SEOW missions like I did once in the first plane on the runway as a rear gunner of IL-2. I saw plenty of fighters behind my plane, and they all swiveled 40 degrees to the left like some group of highly trained soldiers. After that the IL-2 taxied out of the runway to the taxiway to wait for fighters to take off first, and I watched one by one each fighter swiveling back and taking off. Was awesome to watch many La-5FN and Yak-9U doing it! With some kind of sucky God Modes much would had been left unseen.

(Not pointing and blaming anyone. Play as you enjoy the game the best, but don't blame the game and difficult realism settings of the lack of training and disorganised undiscplined pilots. Wise men see the real problems and work on them.)


Edit: I don't fly anymore for =69.GIAP= and I don't represent them in any way.

Any of us that have been in this sim from the onset, know and fully understand your point of view. Some even appreciate it.

But sadly Most Don't, or don't have the time to play hardest settings, to gain the skill to perform over and above realistic.

As if there is such a thing, it is a game after all.

Game hence the word fun.

As in SEOW or the Giap, I'm quite familiar with both, and the people involved.

I just don't have the time to be there. Well I have the time, but my schedule has me 180 off. And with that, I'm playing with people on the other side of the world. I like and enjoy, more than I'm worried about playing Full switch.

Any of these settings as Bearcat are available now, but not officially.

Thus the reason I fell into appreciating them.

And since we know it can be done, then it shouldn't be too tough to implement.

But we can't talk about those, IE reason for original post edit.

As for your stanch attitude on we don't need more difficulty settings.

It would be server side setting.

If you don't like the settings fly elsewhere.

You've said it several times now.

"Play as you enjoy the game the best"

That's all were asking, either support us, or just back away.

No one here has requested or considered Squashing your preferred settings or enjoyment of the game to be changed.

As for the mission builders making a mess of the airfields, I agree, but some of them have done it soely trying to force pilots from just randomly scrambling.

And if your on a Map for the first time, you have no support form the Game to know the airfield better. The brief could, but having text to explain isn't sufficient. The Game map doesn't zoom in to show you an overhead either. This has always been a pet peeve of mine and this game. It knows what the airbase is once spawned, Why can't the game map on the briefing screen know it as well.

Your not going to get all missions makers to make a printout of the airfield. And even if they they did, there is no easy way to pass the information to all who join randomly with a server.
