I reckon it's going to be like ROF mk II. Basically a beta on release, unfinished though with potential. Rubbish interface and a crap campaign, let alone sound, I predict a spitfire lawn mower not a merlin. Happy to be proved wrong but a fiver says I'm not. I'll buy it none the less but I would expect better than what I believe I'm going to recieve given the lead in time. I so want it to succeed because I love this era, yet I'm underwhelmed.

Hum....Wait a minute !...Is that you honey ? Are you writing this from your office ? Are you trying to convince me NOT to buy the game so I will :
Wash the dishes
Take out the garbage
Prepare supper
Go to bed early
Take the kids to school in time
Not miss a couple of days at work

Well, my dear wife, it won't work ! Caught you !

Love,

Kalimba ;)

Yeah!

Think about it.

You knew the people in the mental health facility were nuts

On this forums they don't come with a file and credentials of craziness.

You have to do your own diagnosis

Pilot's size is completely ok!

This guy obviously had a head of twice the average size.

:grin:

Men can come in all different shapes and sizes can't they.

There are other possibilities beyond "bad AI," you know. For example, gunner could already be WIA/KIA, monitoring something else, OR just plain shell-shocked with eyes as big as saucers. ;)

So what if they are all the same (very small) size? :wink:

The pilot is leaning towards the camera a bit so his head appears bigger than it is. Ever taken a photo of a fish you just caught and held towards the camera so it would look bigger?:)

At 0.55 you can clearly see the 109 taking hits from the 4 x .303 machine guns from the Defiant, he's pulling a quite tight turn as well, that's what makes me think it's definitely the Defiant

On a completely unrelated note to the current discussion, I'm just gonna say that I really appreciated the music over both of these videos, especially 0:44 onward on Air Battle, although the music for Air Battle really was more the sort of music you'd expect on a longer video watching a lot of aircraft form up before a scrap. Big panning shots of large formations and that sort of thing.
