I would love to have those graphics and that much detail in AH I would also love to have some d@mn fire extinguishers on my buffs...but oh well...

But you can't shoot the guns or drop bombs out of the A2A one can you?  is this gonna be some sort of WWII simulator also?

Not to put MSFS down, but this is why I love AH (and really any well done combat flight sim) over and above non-combat ones.

These planes were designed as killing machines and it is in heat combat that the artistry of their engineering and design really come alive. Characteristics like the 190's roll rate, the Spit's turn rate, the 109 series' outstanding climb, the easy-to-use American "Ma Deuce" guns have to be experienced in a combat situation to really be appreciated.

And not to forget the bombers... the propensity of the B-24 to catch fire, the absolutely bristling armament of the B17 etc... you don't appreciate these things unless somebody's trying to gun you down.

I hope Hitech isn't the jealous type  :P I wouldn't change a thing to the B-17 in this game  :D

Its a different kind of rush.

when You get done flying a sort in a B17 in AH you have had fun.

when you get done flying THAT B17..  your probably wore out, but you also FEEL like you just flew a real B17.
