"From about 600' agl over a base, it LOOKS JUST LIKE A BASE! (I've flown over a few for real). In hi-res, a countrymens' airplane, in formation, LOOKS LIKE REAL! An engagement, looks like color footage from real WWII gun cams!"
Great post but but have to laugh when people start saying a computer game looks "Real" even at 1600x1200 at 80fps. It still looks like a computer game to me and a pretty dated one at that.
Personally I think the plane graphics look ok, but the terrain,coastline and ocean graphics still need a huge amount of work which HT has acknowledged is yet to come.
