You don't see your opponent up close, there isn't much manoeuvring and the first person to get a good run gets a kill. I much prefer the chivalry of being in a Mig-3 where it takes four-five runs to down an enemy (and a single 20mm round can still ignite your fuel tank).

Similarly, the psychology of flying a Hurricane or a Zeke is completely different where the turning combat means that thinking three moves ahead is more valuable than reflexes. Unfortunately, the online world doesn't seem to agree.
You are going to love the BOB SOW. When you fly British you're going to have the benefit of stuttering carbuertors and pea shooter .303s.

You are going to love it when you pour your bullets into an HE111 and see all the junk flying off it... and it just keeps flying.

In order to get kills you are going to be smelling the bad breath of the enemy pilots before you shoot.

Until Oleg moves to other later period war theatres with the SOW you're going probably really enjoy the BOB SOW online... as you have expressed your interest.

We are all going to be in a new place, flyiing 1940 vinatage. I'm not knocking it. I'm acutally looking forward to it all.
