Well,
If I can offer my OPINION here -

I think they have added a new realism to FSX. Like Mark said, there are planes with lethal weapons, and Cessna's alike. Now you have the choice - make one to not shoot down that United A320, or make one to strafe San Diego. If you respect the weapons and use them correctly, it's a new era here, but I don't think complaining on CS's forum and talking about bad-scented opinions is really necessary. If you like it, enjoy it, if you don't, don't use it.
