2. Remove the cheat HUD. It turns into a game of who gets bored of circling first, as you're always aware exactly of where the enemy is due to the convenient little symbol+arrow on your HUD. This shouldn't be here. The brackets around enemy can stay, but the arrow must go.
3. The hit boxes are completely broken. The only area that registers a hit is dead center back/front. Hitting the sides yields absolutely no results. Either remove the sides of aircraft completely or fix the hit boxes. It just looks silly.
4. Implement a health bar for capital ships. As it stands, there is absolutely no incentive for strafing capital ships/transports as no one on your team knows how much health is left. Why should I spend half the round bombing it when one guy at the end gets lucky and racks up those 3 points? Lets see the health.
5. This isn't a problem as of now, as the hitboxes are broken, but when/if they are fixed - I don't see how aircraft with thin silhouettes will be balanced against those with fat ones? What good is some more armor on that X-Wing when its pie is 10 times the size of a Tie-Fighter? The Fighter will own it every time. Bit of a dilemma here.

2. You will never be able to keep a target without an active HUD. Fighters move WAY to fast and people would just be zooming past eachother. the only engagements there would ever be are the ones that are 2000+ meters away. We have tested this mod for countless hours, you maybe a few hours or more. This is the best way to go.
1/3. Talk to Dice about it, there is no fix for this, the reason there is no over heat is because:
A. The ricochet cannot be removed from the projectiles. Which means we need LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of bolts coming out to ever get kills, if there were only a couple, and 90% were bouncing off/not counting you will never kill ANYTHING. Dice made this problem FSDevs have done their best to fix it, for now DEAL with it.
B. Also Star Wars has lots and lots of bolts flying every which way in the films, if the amount that can be fired were reduced to 1/4 the amount it is at now the atmosphere goes out the window and you are just playing a flight sim on crack with StarWars models.
And for record if you learn to actually LEAD a target like a skilled pilot you will get the kills if you land the hits. Just takes bit longer than being right behind them because you miss much more and some of them do not count. I know it's hard but it can be done if you lead the target correctly.
4. this isn't going to fix the last guy getting lucky and getting the 3 points. And just FYI I am pretty sure the devs are planning on a point revamp so you should be getting points for your damage.
5. The aircraft are balanced pretty well already, Xwings are stronger, have more powerful bolts, and have torpedoes. TIEs are faster, weaker but lack strong weapons. And the back view really does matter when the fighter is weaving back and forth you can hit those side panels from the side easily.
