I fully agree that the current system lacks fairness. Personally, I complete all my challenges and missions in cockpit view with no assists, aiming for a top score of around 1,600,000. However, I experimented with landing the helicopter using full assists and 3rd person view, and I managed to score 1,750,000 on my very first attempt. While the score was higher, it felt unsatisfying and diminished the sense of achievement compared to using realistic settings.
To address this imbalance, I think a better system would be to group players using maximum assists into the Bronze League while reserving the Diamond League for those flying without assists. This change would foster a more level playing field and recognize the extra challenge and skill required for realism-focused gameplay.
