The reason I am so opposed to compatability is because I don't want to see my awsome game dynamics trashed like they were with Black Shark. The problem with makeing a sim such as WH or BS run with a game like FC2 is that you are going to have to sacrafice realism and create balance for those sims fit into the game.
That's what they did with BS. I can fly slow and high in a straight line, deploy one or two cycles of four flares each, and avoid anything that comes at me. Hell, sometimes I don't even have to drop flares. I know missiles miss, but this seams a bit over the top to me. Rotors do not make radar returns in multiplayer, and I gave up 1.0.2 before I could figure out if they do in single player.
I feel like my sim was swept aside for the sake of a game audience. That makes me sad.:cry: There are other things I could complain about, but let me just say this: if this compatability patch were to bring FC2 and BS back UP to DCS standards (as opposed to trashing an awsome sim) and not break my game again, I would be all for it. I like the idea of flying with fighters and other ground pounders, plus believe it or not I have friends, and it would be great to keep anihalating them with my A-10C.
It makes me afraid that ED is foresaking the small nitch market of harcore simming for the larger game market. That also makes me sad. :cry:
