Uh, why do we need a two-seater aircraft since the back-seater wouldn’t be of any use especially if a player can’t get in the backseat of the other player’s aircraft

I just saw test flight for the hornet

I ran out of votes 😢😢

No but that’s kinda needed in one of those cuz well… imagine an empty space next to you. They were able to fill the seats up with the fake co-pilot

As much as i wanna vote, i see no use in this… good concept tho.

The logic is, if they can fill that void with a co-Pilot why can’t they have someone in the back seat who does a similar role of nothing at all.

IRL they have roles, in this sim they don’t, it’s not much of a difference. I’d be neutral on this if the F model wasn’t made in comparable numbers to the E model. It would be nice to see it but it’s not likely at all.

They can have someone in the backseat. That’s the thing. If they can at least add a different variant of a fighter jet to add to our fighter arsenal that would still be something. It also includes more famous liveries as he stated
