Video got me fired up - What to fly?

[MikkOwl]

WWII Online has a limited amount of aircraft available, produced in virtual factories and shipped by commanders to each airbase. The rank of the pilot restricts the plane types - experienced get the better stuff, inexperienced don't. It's messed up though, as if all the bad planes are used up and there's a bunch of slightly better ones laying around, and you don't have the high enough rank, you cannot fly at all.

As for your system of score, yes, I think score should be adjusted for what was accomplished in what (also exists in WWII online - it checks how much your machine is 'worth' compared to the target's machine, and the target acts as a multiplier to the default score. A cheap machine bringing down an expensive one gives tons of multiplication = tons of score. And vice versa.

Regarding allocation, I think one should be able to set one's plane preference. If there are free ones, one gets it automatically. If others outrank you and it's limited, then they get priority to the machine, but no rank restrictions. If your preference is not available, you get the plane choosing menu to find another ride.
