OH MY

I would say horses for courses. AH offers relatively immediate action DCS needs you to set at least an hour set aside to do anything worth doing.
When it comes to learning what is possible in your ride AH has it, for immersion its probably DCS.
Interestingly the reapers fly over a number of platforms which makes sense.
If I was forming a squad now and had the time I would make it a multi game squad over AH, iL2 and DCS.
The more I think about it the more I think I am going to fly AH, DCS and consider IL2. All good

Plenty of people of our generation who want to fly ww2. (Also Star Wars is basically WW2) It should be available for free in the UK on the NHS to combat dementia. In the USA with a discount on your health insurance etc
Animal and AK iRON "lOVE AND UNITY IS THE ONLY WAY"
And finally if you want to learn ACM its def AH and $15.99 per month is very good value for so much work and works on an average PC. I wish it was still in development.
