And then you talk to me about missing priorities...

I HOPE Tagert and Swiss are right and the reason of this plot shifting is to make money for the development of "best combat flight sim" (that should already be in my shelf).

At least don't talk anymore about how the game only needed to be "fixed"...

You put in an option that only half of them can take ground units

Decent vehicle simulation would be enough.

We already have highly developed balistics models and the AI to make them move around and navigate the terrain. I think what we're seeing here has been on the back burner for ages and has been introduced with little additional effort. It's an added bonus feature that WILL attract new people to the product if done well. Attacking ground targets manned by real people has a lot of appeal to me and I'm sure others will feel the same.

Exactly.

I got it.. just to keep current with what is out there.. And be glad you did not buy it.. Because like you, I was very disaponted in the non FPS part of the game.. Very arcade.. But I expected that going in, so disapointed but not suprised. On that note.. the BF offline campain was actully very fun, the online stuff is arcade as H

So, can we use the Channel map for coops?....thought not.

Could be a solution, if that half that still can get planes would be high enough for a real air war
