I'm Retired. This is my fun. I've played a lot. Worked several lines up to tier X. Found a handful of favorites.
When the change happened, I felt like I was nerfed. My planes had all been equipped to support my style of play, and it was all taken away.
This enhanced equipment, having both negative and positive features, really pissed me off.
Now that I've played with it for a while, I realized, in some instances, on some planes, this can actually allow greater modification than before. This could be a good thing, on some planes. On others, you might be best off leaving the plane as it is.
If you are really wanting to take your plane in a different direction, and not play it like everyone else, this can do it.
For instance, the IL-40P, Reinforced air frame takes away a small percentage of roll. How often do your roll your IL-40P? what's 3 or 4 percent of the very little roll you have to begin with. Virtually unnoticeable.
I think I like the challenge of the complexity now involved in modification.
I'm not a stat person, I could care less. Most of the complaints appear to be coming from that crowd. Their precious stats and rankings are threatened by having to learn a new system. Blah, blah, blah.
I think those people need a kick in the butt every once in a while. They need to get a life.
If their stats on an online game can reach that level of importance in their real life, they need to shut their computer off and walk away.
I play for the fun of the current battle. If they can't do that, they need to go. They are the ones spitting on their monitor and cussing everyone in chat. You might be best off just getting rid of comparative stats and rankings all together. If they leave, you are better off for it.
