ORIGINAL: WiTP_Dude I don't know the details yet but it sounds like a troubling development. The Japanese side will see a big boost in their fighting potential if they can scrap all those lesser aircraft groups for better ones. The Allied side is surely going to want the same kind of options. This takes the game yet further away from simulation and closer to revisionism and fantasy. But it's optional. Personally, I agree with you. Even playing as Japanese, I think having a wide variety of aircraft with varying abilities just adds spice - instead of a homogenous group of the "best" aircraft, to play well I need to maximize use of all air in the best role I can find for it - including Sonias, Idas, and Hickory's. However, there is clearly a sizable contigent of folks who would rather have this control (at the expense of realism), and it's not illogical for Matrix to provide that option. I don't plan to use it in my games, and you don't have to either. (And if we end up being the lonely few in that camp, maybe it's time for the two of us to play a game :-)
