The problem is they are rushing products out to keep the cash flow up. EA acft are getting just enough attention to keep people in them while they work on the next project. The hornet is a sloppy hot mess and the viper is the neglected step child, meanwhile here comes the super carrier which is missing how many promised features now? Finish one project then move on, at this point i am all for a monthly subscription fee if it means they actually finish something that they start. As for the current state of the Viper, its still an excellent platform all around but needs some of these problems to be addressed such as the IFF/DL, Tire grip etc. fix those and throw in some mavericks and a Harm and hell people would probably shut up for another year.
