saying that this is the future and so the aircraft should have beter defences etc is wrong. while they may have better defences against weapons of OUR time they will still be as vulnerable to weapons of THEIR time. Every new defence they come up with a weapon that can bypass it will be created thus the aircraft and ground veichles will be just as vulnerable as now. you could argue that the US airforce owns everything but everything they fight has out dated equipment. obviously the game will need to give both teams an equal chance so the opposing army will have effective AA weapons. i agree that BF2 has done a good job with the damage and the border ristrictions (auto killing the player if they spend too long away from the battle).

I think player created upgrades would be great this would enable both sides to create their own defences against the others latest missile for example. im not sure how this would be implemented because i dont know much about the game yet.
