I agree with the original post.
Most of all about the pitiful flak radius that Rub imposes on the player. I agree that the original game has the unfortunate flaw of making it to easy to shoot planes down, but the "solution" presented in RuB leaves A LOT to be desired. I try to play realisticaly, in the sense that if I see a plane I try to crash dive and escape and not shoot it down, but sometimes you just can't do that or you'll get caught in mid-dive. After installing the latest version of RuB I've found that the game isn't realy playable after 1943. By the time the flak gunners start firing the bombs are allready falling... the result? I can still shoot them down, but too late to make any difference... that's not realistic, is it?
But let's not argue about realism, let's concentrate on the essential here... Nobody cares if a game is realistic or not if nobody plays it anymore. Playability takes precedence.
