I wouldn't be so quick to disregard the main stream press. I fully accept your point they're not the place to find out about the finer points of weapon load outs and FM modelling, but they're as good as any one, if not better, in assessing interface design, immersion and playability.
It seems like all the beta tester for this game were dedicated sim fans who were giving thumbs up for just these points in Clod, and dismissing campaign bugs and clunky interfaces as "unimportant". It's a view I'd disagree with.
It's nice to have faithful users, but it's more important to have lots of new ones, especially in a "social" distribution media such as Steam.
One of the supposed benefits of this method is that "word spreads" on what's hot and what's not.
Grendel is a committed propeller head who loves and understands this genre intimately.
As such, he's already preaching to the converted.
