[Trooper117]

Oh, Trooper, I feel that it would be fun to man an AA at an airfield when I am under attack there. Wouldn't it be fun to shoot the snot out an attacker over your own base with an Anti Aircraft gun? Next, you would hop in a fighter and go dogfight, or something.

The way I see, there will be squadrons with different styles of missions on their servers. Some of them will only allow players to fly planes, perhaps. Others will have more. Wouldn't that be great for the simulation? Some would have all the basics-that's exciting to me.

I know what you are saying mate, but for me, no, I'm sorry.. it wouldn't be great.. I want this game to take my experience of WWII aviation gaming a stage further as a pilot.. I'm not going to buy the game so I can take part in airfield defence, or drive a tank.. I've got other games for that.
I want Oleg and his team to spend time and effort to give us the best combat flight sim there is to date.. not waste valuable time making cannons and vehicles drivable.
Pilots during WWII didn't man flak guns and then decide, 'I know, now I'll jump in a plane and be a pilot for awhile'.. If Oleg spends time making this game into a Battlefield 1942 event, then we will all suffer the consequences.. can you imagine how long it will take to make expansions and patches available if he is also putting more drivable tanks and working guns into the game? I pray to god he doesn't go down that road..
