I really enjoy the squad based play, the unhistorical aircraft match-ups answer a lot of questions about the overall effectiveness of a particular aircraft in general, and most of all the 2 Squads I've belonged to in the last 5 years have made this genre the only "game" I give a rat's banana about.
I don't think AHII is going to create the same sense of camaraderie, and quite frankly the concept is going to appeal to the "anoraks" amongst us.
I hope AH - Classic is developed in parallel with TOD and not eventually quietly "disappeared" like a '70s Argentinian political agitator.
