Yes, it's not perfect, yes I hate the viewing system but the attention to detail where it matters (planes, damage etc) is simply mind boggling. You can watch training missions as a movie it's so pretty...
Multiplayer? There are active squadrons out there, I know 5 GvIAP is doing training on-line
It's only a question of time when servers will be up and running with scenarios etc.
200 people on-line? Hmmm... You never see at least 170 of those and get involved with a dozen at the most in any one time. What was the problem again? If you don't like it - it's fine but personally I think you're shortchanging yourself there
I just hope that with time more planes will become player controlled - I16 and I153 vs 109Es and He111s - yum!
I also wonder if there are language options for people who don't speak Russian since you do need to know what your wingmen and gunners tell you?
