It's just like real war - better equipment wins(usually).

You feel you get an advantage by using a 60" screen @800*600 - go for it.
Ah! The old Raybanjockey philosophy!

But I have to say, Swiss, the reason I dump cash I can't afford into peripherals for the game is to boost my sense of immersion and involvement in flight and WWII air combat. Honestly, nothing competitive - just to have a good time! (Which is why I'd never lower my screen resolution - talk about cutting off you nose to spite your face!, and probably why I'm generally canon-fodder or "bait" for my squadron mates!).

[Edit: And I agree with you, Flyingblind - from what I've taken from the updates, hopefully glints and reflections from targets will make bogie-spotting - particularly those currs beneath you - much easier.]

Anyway, as others have said, I feel like a seven-year-old waiting for Christmas! When I finally get a tattoo, it'll read: "Two Weeks - Be Sure".

Thnx Oleg, Lutheir and the gallant 22!
