But I've been thinking about this a lot as well. Like...what if DICE just doesn't have any decent pilots in their test-pool? Or like...many decent players at all? It would sure explain a lot of the design decisions they've made pre and post-launch.
Yep. Cause I know that I personally have no business trying to pilot anything.
