Well SimHQ probably think FIRST EAGLES is great, despite the fact that until the first patch, it was barely an arcade game. But then massive God-like worship of TK ignores his failings, and gives unquestioning support, whilst he patches himself out of the excrement. The kind of support that the WHIRLWIND developers never got.
Without support, game authors are never going to believe it worthwhile to spend time on patching and updating. So a potentially superior Sim like WHIRLWIND never gets the chance to shine with updates like Multiplayer, LAN support and all the other bells and whistles that patches bring with them.
It is widescreen out of the box, which IL2 isn't.
For my money, WHIRLWIND is the most immersive Helicopter Sim out there.
