It also seems to me there were a lot of online players, especially playing co-ops and virtual wars, that actually liked historical accuracy.


However ASIDE from all that pointless online versus offline nonsense which can be fun to argue about but is really totally off topic:

- if you recall 3 or 4 years back a lot of online players were unhappy with the switch to box/pattern harmonization on the American planes like the P51

- the ability to optionally switch aircraft currently using a box harmonization to a point bore sighting would greatly increase the lethality of the 0.50 cal for online players who are a good shot whilst allowing new players to keep the box pattern


To be honest I don't see this as an offline/online issue at all.

Yes, if something was done historically, and actually in action and not just tested far from the frontlines, and was extensively used, it should be in the game. More convergence options would , after some learning, help people flying all fighters with wing mounted guns, not only US fighters, but also my Fw 190.
