Just ordered the game and hopefully the AI will prove to more challenging than the majority of players in here (sad thing is, the AI probably will). Could you please post some links to any of the add on sites you recommend?
ack-ack
The link I posted is the best I've found, but since I have a stupid adware virus that crashes my IE whenever I try to use google, I can't really search for addons unless I use yahoo search, which is nowhere near as good.
The AI is really hit or miss, one mission you can get slaughtered by enemy fighters or cut to shreds by laser accurate gunners, and the next you can absolutely destroy them without a scratch. Much like real pilots- its not an across the board level field you go against. There are mods you can find for AI, both enemy pilots and gunners. Some fights are long and white-knuckle, others you can take out half a flight before they even notice you're there. I actually think thats quite realistic, and it makes it more unpredictable. A couple of easy flights, then you get bounced by a squadron of aces and have to fight like hell to survive.
Just remember, don't assume your first experience is how its always going to be, especially once you start adding mods. My first few flights I got creamed, then I cleaned house a few after that. Gotta fly it for a few days to really decide whether its for you.
