Wombatmetal, that part about fixed configurations is disturbing. Especially since you can't undo it. I've only specialized a tier I and II. I wanted to see first and immediately realized it's like shooting off flares saying, "Here I am!" They need to give you an option to unspecialized.
I am not specializing another plane until that is taken care of.
I agree with everything you said.
SpiritFox, my views and intense feelings about staters arose on WOT, where they berate others incessantly in chat. At least here they are mostly too busy fighting. Perhaps they aren't the biggest complainers, but I'm biased. They should be condemned to a world where they only have each other to cuss at.
I agree about the legitimate concerns that I initially had, but I know people just hate change, and we have to roll with the punches. I hated the change, I think I might like it now, but don't know enough, as I quit playing for a while after the update. I'm not discounting anybody's legitimate grievances.
I came back for the 20th anniversary. Nice move connecting a free plane with the purchase of a month's premium. That will get people back playing long enough to get to know the new game.
Did you make sure to complete the Missions to get your two completely free planes?

There is an option to switch back to the normal configuration after you specialize an aircraft. Unfortunately you then no longer have the extra consumable/equipment slots.
The loss of max configuration as stated above is a big thing. I hate not being able to choose which slots are used for the equipment and I hate not being able to have three pieces of equipment that all boost the same thing. You used to be able to have three things that boosted speed or enhanced durability, but now you can't. I wouldn't mind the stupid "shoot me now wings" icon if it didn't show the enemy you were a human player from a much longer distance than when you are able to read the player's names. Now, if you have a specialized plane, the other humans can see you coming from a long way away and intercept you before you can do anything.
Have you made sure to list your thoughts here?

Dude, did you, like, capture that video when Chevy Chase was still on Saturday Night Live?
I'm all for cool videos, but you could've posted your high score on Asteroids taken from a Panasonic Palmcoder and reached the same relevance to the game as it is today.
Just for reference, Matthew Broderick is 62 years old and the movie Wargames was released closer to the first landing on the moon than today's date. I think your video might be in that league.
Was this necessary?

Just have fun folks! Dont fly under me or in front of me. A rocket or bomb will be waiting.
Thanks for the video!
