Yes .

That's a realistic flight speed.

Don't worry though, they won't be invincible .

AA guns, SA7's, .50's, RPG's to mention a few.

Also, it is to be noted that reality isn't always fair .

In v0.4 the Inurgents have massive advantages, which isn't very realistic.

Should even out the playing field on Basrah.

Here's what eggman had to say.

We tried some different stuff but ran into a few problems. I did get top attack laser guided hellfires working .. sorta

Shelved it due to time constraints and will take a look at it again in a future release.

And yeah there's lots that can take out attack helos, but ideally we'll have guys trying to keep them alive for an entire round.

If the vehicular weapon systems prove to be overpowering one of the things we cana nd will do .. rather than nerf them arbitrarily .. is make the supply (respawn) of them more constrained. So losing one (or killing one) will have a fairly significant impact.

I just hope that PR-Devs don't give into the whining "oh the Cobra is too good" etc. Being a realism mod that should be expected.

Don't nerf!

While we do need to make sure the mod is balanced and fun to play, much of the R&D around that has been done by multi billion dollar military budgets over the last 40 years.

My view is that, within the scope of BF2, modeliing things as realistically as possible will tend to balance things out somewhat organically. But it might suck to play hehe :p

Clearly a requirement for weapon systems of this power is large maps, which we're also working on.

And we'll have to pay attention to game dynamics after this release, and see where things are at.
