having an incremental advance in the ability to use the aircraft would get some people more interested, imo. the the rise of the multi crew aircraft coming i can see some people might want to just dabble in things like RIO, like your friend, and not fly an air frame. with the up coming Ai changes, "RTS" modes and changes to the mission editor we will see a rise in players that could just be here to hop into a Huey and shoot things with the M60.
i know from personal experience i dont want to pay 60-90$ just to second seat and the AIs are not good enough to be as good as a player. so im in the boat of never wanting to just gun for someone and if i want to fly i have to use the AI because there are lots of people like me, who would rather fly.
