Would love a Korean War or late 40's early 50's arena, with British, French, Soviet and US Jets.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Perhaps there'll be a War Online: Korea or War Online 1946?

So they never explained... why would that be classified? Seems like good PR that our guy knocked down 4 of theirs mostly by himself.

Panthers at Sea
U.S. Navy Panthers weren’t highly evolved, but they could shoot. And they were air conditioned.

The NSA confirmed it and told him that he was not allowed to ever speak of it to anyone else

Think of the "Red Phone" between the USA and USSR back then
