I'd might actually play it if the controls were not so lame and were just simple.  Graphics can be updated again too and they need to make it so you can get a vehicle and get out of it when you want and go on foot.   Squad system needs to be updated and simple like planetsides or something with built in voice.  Overall the game just needs to be more simple to play not have such a high learning curve.

you mean you're not interested in the

"All new manual with over 150 pages of game documentation"

probably 50 pages dedicated to taking off and landing properly.. .*shudders* i still remember trying to turn my throttle down to 20%... during that i managed to die....  wonder if i hit someone taking off.

 

I'll stick to infantry which is the classic... "everyone go sniper" everytime i try it

 

yup played it today, and every infantry brigade i joined the "sniper" class was filled up....... very umm "realistic" *cough*

there is only like 10 sniper positions for every brigade, so of couse there are the first to go. new players pick them cause they think it will make them uber just like in every other fps. most vets dont both with them though, they look at the sniper as a novelty. 99.9% of the time ur shot from range its from an unscoped rifle.

if the game was dumbed down, then it wouldnt appeal to its current playerbase. it would just be battlefield on a larger scale.

Like my fellow 'tex' said, TEN snipers in the spawn list that if lost are gone for 4.5 hours.  Same thing with the three Tigers when we get thru our RDP cycle.  They go just as fast.  People are human, the more scarce an object - the higher the demand.

Of course, you could also select the other 400 infantry in the rifle class or the 100 in sub-machine gun class, not to mention the 50 engineers/sappers, too.

If you cut your throttle back to 20% power, is it possible you lost the needed lift to stay airborne?  If you never made it off the tarmac, you may have hit a tree, building or AI pit.  BE does not have an arcadish flight model.  Those gauges in your cockpit actually function, providing with accurate information on the status of your engine, flight speed, etc, FYI.

The UI on the game could be better, no question.  We cherish the new documentation because for so long, CRS did not develop it so it became the responsibility of the community, which has done a magnificent job of developing tools and producing instructional videos ranging from basic infantry tactics to strategic high-altitude bombing.

*raises glass*

To another 6 years!
