This is what I mean when I say artificial difficulty built into the game. In other words, the game is designed in such a way that if you don't use the system you'll probably not survive.

It's like when games have difficulty settings, easy, normal, realistic(or insane). The most difficult, being more difficult but rarely actually realistic. Difficult only because the computer can do several things at once or see you in the dark, or across the map, or maintain a lock, or there are 3 dozen vs 1, etc. At that point you're not so much playing a believeable game, just trying to figure out the best way to overcome an artificial pattern.

I'm not opposed to such things, I just don't think they sound all that fun for this type of game. Not to mention the terminology is completely insulting to our intelligence...Enhanced Reality ???

I'm always willing to let a few things go for the sake of limitations though.

yea, I have renewed hope from what the forum mod says, maybe I will buy this game after all.

Anyways, I do not mind people insulting this game, but when they insult the people who are on the forums, it gets personal, and does tend to invoke a bit of response from me. sorry if I have been mean or unruly at any point in time.

i can ignore "ridiculous amount of missiles" setting if there will be an option in the setting menu to turn it into realistic load for each plane

I'll probably still buy this game, because there are three types of flight games.

Arcade : Afterburner
Simucade : Ace Combat
Simulator : Energy Airforce

If they make HAWX enough like Afterburner, then I'll shall be happy with it.

lol, I refuse to even accept AC as a simucade, to me it is an arcade series, and never had any aspects to make it as sim. as for energy airforce, it was more of a simucade, because you can't have sim on a console, unless its a racing sim... just not enough controls.

No, it is Simucade, it is an entirely sliding scale. What you want to accept AC6 as, is irrelvent to the discussion, controls don't make any difference, but rather the presence of options in related to actual ability.

Otherwise games with tons of useless Hot-Keys would be Sims and that's not always the case.
