Based on all the new youtube videos and comments elsewhere this appears to be a much anticipated module. Lot of pros and cons touted. No one should expect to jump in a plane they've never flown before and expect to be an expert. No realism at all if you could.

Unsupported planes drenched in bugs are not realism.

Gotta run, have a date with a fine fine woman. Save my spot

I don't have it yet so have no personal opinion on it.

Say hi to Brad for us. 

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Now that I think about it, there is one WWII plane I wouldn’t be able to resist paying for if DCS ever added it to the game — the Ta 152H  :joystick:
Steam: DrKalv
E:D Snailman

In November 2025, Lusche will return for a 20th anniversary tour. Get your tickets now!

My BF-109 E4 video post sure isn't very popular compared to this thread :)

What about ME-163 or ME-262?

I think those would be tough. Even the one in IL2 will blow up the engines if you move the throttles too fast unless you have that valve that the Germans modded it with later.

I can't imagine how tough it would be to fly those two especially if they modeled the glass fuel tanks on the 163 and the self detonation they were capable of.

For sure it would be exciting to try.

I think those would be a blast against a mass formation of AI bombers.

Seem like the 163 would be a really easy mod to make.  no gear.  No engine or propeller. ;)  No complex weaponry or bomb interaction.  Just thrust and cannon.

And a random dice roller for random explosions into melting flesh occasionally. ;)

Ya but we never tout realism in Aces High like they do at DCS
