I, for one, enjoy the RPS very much. But, unlike many other Warbirds pilots, I very seldom get fixated on one particular aircraft when choosing what to fly. Some appear to enjoy mastering one aircraft or all the aircraft in a model series and then fly that exclusively. I do not. If I find myself getting overly familiar with an aircraft, I will switch to something else.
Because of this, I find the RPS allows flying the "early stuff" without getting repeatedly hammered by those who wish to master a single aircraft which is usually an advanced, late-war model that will easily outfly and bring down early war machines due to superior performance and armament.
Without the RPS, the Spit XIV would be available all of the time and I would have to read the complaints on Channel 100 as someone would boom, zoom, and slaughter with impunity. (I have witnessed many log out due to others flying this aircraft for an extended period of time.)
I'm sorry others find the early aircraft so distasteful, but I personally find it enjoyable from a historical perspective.
