Default Air conflict secret wars - its just not COD.. but it looks like fun!

If you've played and enjoyed the old crimson skies on console this might be a bit of fun. Picked up a cheap PC copy today. Nope no joysticks here.. but looks like some nice eye candy.

with virtually no blackout or redout, ultra-high-G turns are no problem. Targeting is fairly simple as well, keep your crosshairs within a reasonable radius of the target and the auto-aim will automatically make sure you never miss the target. Fun stuff, but I must say there ought to have been an option to turn the auto-aim off. Makes it look ridiculously easy at times. Oh, and did I mention that landing consists of flying through a series of circles that get smaller and smaller as you approach the landing zone (regardless of whatever speed you’re flying at)?
As much as I try to support WWII flight games this one looks a bit too arcade for my tastes.
