Through a mutual friend, I managed to show him this ...
... and here's what he had to say.
" As for the simulator I cannot pass comment for it was short and looked like a computer game which I used to play some years ago. I guess it is more like a game than a simulator. A hurricane would have been shot down long before it reached the Heinkels."
Pretty blunt you might say but pretty revealing too. |
Hmm, what else he could say when seeing a flight combat simulator? I think he had very good eyes! How else he could describe a stupid computer? I think he have very good brains!
Remember gentlemen, SoW is just a game, even though it should be by far the most awesome WWII combat flight simulation. It will look like a game, as will all games we see in, say, next 20 years.
Respect to the veteran who told what he saw and thought.
