Let me help you a bit.
Skunk Works originated as a division of Lockheed. The A-10 was built by Fairchild. The F-16 by General Dynamics. The F-15, McDonnell-Douglas.
So back to the AAR part. The Pharoah nailed it. The maps dont require AAR. So you can bypass it. Two bags of gas for the throttle heavy, a single for the more conservative. Tying up resources and overly simplifying an already simplified task (that isnt a requirement on the small maps) because people dont want to take the time to learn it, is wasteful and selfish. There are more pressing bugs to the basic functionality of the sim that are better suited for the time available. Resource optimization, visibility, netcode stability.
"People dont have the time". Thats a cop out. Instead of jumping into your Air Quake server on your limited time, setup a mission (or download one of the several free ones) dedicated to AAR and practice.
