its hard to say when ah1 gets the ax ,but ah2 is getting very close ( they need to solve the stuttering problem that alot of us are getting for the 1st few dogfights or running a scenario is gunna be a nightmare)
As for the walk on's in BoB that fly LW let them fly ju 87's and dive bomb .
and I think the manned ack is a great idea for the guys that die on the Raf side .
