After reading everyone's posts and giving it some thought, I have decided not to fly with you guys on Sundays. The reasoning is, obviously the settings that are going to be imposed and us being made to follow them. I like flying with everything on and try to have fun in the process. I know you want to take it to a different level and try to get in new recruits, but I honestly don't thinks its going to happen making us fly with TAC only. If your also trying to create an elite unit and weed out the ones who show up Sundays to just have fun then have at it, you'll not only lose good guys and flying mates, but that will also be another reason you won't get recruits. You have to understand that this is 2010 and not 1914-1918. It is suppose to be a way for us M8's to get together and have fun, not get turned off by it. I think it should be our own decision if we want everything off or not and not the person who hosts. I have'nt been around in awhile because I have been busy with other projects and frankly the enjoyment has lost its luster. Not knocking anyone who hosts, it is much appreciated for keeping MP alive. When PD used to host OFF last year, I was on every Sunday and the reasoning is that we had nothing imposed on us and no rules, except ettiquette, to deter us from flying. I flew because it was fun, we flew allied fighter aircraft that had rockets and also bombers, we flew missions that attacked trains, zepplins, airfields, and any enemy aircraft we saw. Flying for hours, just having dogfights and then landing again repeatedly every Sunday is kind of gotten boring. Again not knocking anybody who hosts or makes missions but mix it up some. Let us fly with what ever setting we want and fly some missions with N-17's with rockets and while some part of the squadron is attacking land objects then the other half can be engaging enemy aircraft and then switch out each mission. IMHO load up some of PD's missions and let the fun begin.
