I like capturing and repairing AT-STs myself, and the care you have to take when leaving one in enemy territory or no-man's land. Repairing a walker is a risky game. Having said that, I also like it when you're not able to do it, like in Project Reality. Enemy tank parked near you? Either blow it up or let it sit there.

But what this means is you can't just hop into a tank and take it for a spin. You don't 'just learn' how to drive a tank or fly a helicopter that's new to you (unless tanks have changed in userfriendliness since WWII, that is). In addition, even if you could just hop into a tank and instantly know how to use it, it'd be a death trap as you don't have FS's neat IFF features in real life. If you as an Iraqi tank hunter saw an Abrams tank roll down the street, you'd not be able to pull out a map and tell from the blue tank icon that the vehicle was on your side - you'd just kill it. No matter how many ways you try to mark the vehicle as friendly - by painting it, flying your nation's flag, and so on - it's very unsafe to drive an enemy vehicle.

i prefer to have the at-at's as only for imps as they will be a key part of game play. But  other things like tanks and at-st's are less important so they should not be locked. i think fighters should be free for anybody because they are pretty well balanced anyway. we should think about gameplay first and reliasm second. this is star wars after all and that is what Lucas arts does.

Now that I'm a tester, I guess I should point out that my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the dev team . With that over with...

PR isn't too complicated in the slightest. It could easily be more intuitive, but once you know how to play it (play it windowed with the manual PDF handy, or, better yet, just print the damned thing), it's everything but hard. I downright love and admire what they've done for the game, and how many great solutions they've found for problems in vanilla. I especially like how you can build a limited number of things like sandbags, AA guns, and bunkers on the battlefield and then use them to get limited kits (awesome idea!), and how spawning now revolves around squad leaders, vehicles, and deployed rallying points, rather than control points.

Yes, the guys behind the realism project, surprise, surprise, has a staunch policy of realism. Who'd have known .

Fixed it for you .
