MaxGross -> Scout Aircraft for V.5.0 (2/7/2001 4:13:00 AM)

I would like to make a case for inclusion of scout aircraft for v.5.0
I have read many arguments in past posts before I was a member regarding this subject. I do disagree with the arguments against having scout aircraft in SPWAW, and I will attempt to make some simple points in favor of including them.
First and foremost SPWAW is just a game. It has been created for our enjoyment and expertly (I might add) developed to be as close to real conditions as possible.
If one is going to be a stickler for realism then one has to except all items on all sides that existed during WWII. If an item is excluded then we must ask "was it excluded because it was questionable as to it's existance or not an item relvalent to gaming.
Scout aircraft did exist on all sides. they did have an intregal part in foward air control for artillary fire, as well as other missions. The counter measure was anti-air defences, which everyone had as well. We can apply the same logic to the use of scout aircraft as we can for unacceptable shows for children on TV. Just turn the channel, or just don't use scout aircraft in the games you create. If you do use them there is always counter measurers.
I have used scout aircraft in SP2, and WWII games with the appropriate anti-air on the other side and it was very difficult at times to get maximum effectiveness out of them. I would hardly call that cheating.
Finally, I believe scout aircraft should be included and allow those of us who wish to use them to at least have that benefit. Those who wish not to use them have an option as well. But at least allow the gamer to make their own decision with out denying them equipment that legally existed in WWII. After all we are all adult mature men.
This is mearly my opinion and, I'm not trying to get into a big argument over this issue. I would only ask the powers to be at Matrix Games to take this into concideration.
Thank You
MaxGross
