Got RoF back in the days when it was just released and could not play it due to perfomance Issues. Tried it 2 years later and ended up doing quite a few quick missions, but never got into the campaign.

Multiplayer was rather boring, did not help that my poor stock aircraft got outperformed by those pay to play aircraft everybody got into, so I lost interest here really fast.

Tried again another year later and got to know that in the meanwhile an "iron cross" edition was released, with lots of aircraft goodies. Graphics and the engine itself by now were really good and fluid, but I felt ripped off and never touched the game again. The news about all that micro transaction stuff did not much to improve here, either.

I'd rather they released some big scenario packs (like the channel map) with according maps and aircraft included for a retail price instread of all the stuff you have to get in singles. 15€ for a bomber is quite a bit of money which I would pay if the rest of the Sim was up for it...however, it isn't

Yes, the aircraft going vertical to the ground with just a bit of "puff" when making contact is indeed quite bothersome.

This from someone who played Red Baron and Red Baron 3D to death and once really looked forward to RoF.
