Boah.... something really heating up (and gladly it is cold again ) as a BTR/BOB guy, the main nonunderstanding point of view is the restriction of "fighter A (IJA) to fighter B (IJA)" thing... as i understood the japanese production, they lacked a lot things.... but if "we" (as the japanese) or the AI (cause i am the allied) make it better as historical, has less losses and more supplies from sra to the homeland and later lba-attacks against its industries, it should be allowed to optimize the things... i can´t understood the "why not the p51 from the beginning" or the "i want F22 - cause everything is fantasy" speaking. What is the problem. The same failure of gamedesign is in the allied side... if i have 300 Spits more as i need, but 4 groups with "lesser" planes who wait for the ThunderboltII i belive it is stupid that i can´t change em to this... sure, because these groups flew HISTORICALLY not these planes is a point. But on the other hand, do we know why they not flew the other planes ? Maybe cause they had so little of em ? This system we have now here in WitP is the worst of all possible systems... We should either have the solution "no control" with stupid results (cause you have 1000 planes in the pool you do not need and never had produced any longer after you got the "better" new plane, this would be a minus, but okay, many games aren´t perfect. or, we get the you can upgrade any plane in a row if they are in the pool (with a experience minus, cause a Spit V to a Spit VIII is a difference to a Thunderbolt (for example)) and some other logical things like IJN does not up/downgrade to IJA or Bomber to fighter etc.... A restrictive btr-system would be perfect for me.... ad i will ever accept any user scenario that includes such corrections (so you can upgrade in the row cause you have allways the minimal nr. of planes in the pool, just be honest and don´t use em if you haven´t produced em... so you can allways "upgrade peggy to ki21" if you have a lot ki21 in the pool and accidentally upgraded em (in my adopted system) to ki49s... This should be true for both sides, just the research thing should be a favourite for the japanese side (cause the pac war was a side area of ww2 for the allies (maybe the navyplanes could be different...., but not for the "important" army planes... pac war was too unimportant for that)... it seems that the real problem come with the "allied fanboyhood" (no blameing)... these people see it from the perspective "i play as the allies" and ignore the possibility that the axis player can do better as historically (and they cry if this happen)... but if this would be true, the game should be only playable as the allies.... But also, with the editor, some fair people (no, i never would play a mdiehl-scenario only as the allies side, sorry, just kidding) creating campagins that correct these "failures", everything is fine... i think, if mogami would do such scenario we could be sure that it will be fair (and not fanboysided...) i play the game from both sides, do not care the fanboyhood (still love to correct hellcat/corsair vers. spitfires) and think the game is great and is worth to buy it....
