I'm surprised the jets are not used more

nooooo, Ace Combat 6!

But anyway, I never got the hang of the jets, but I've been killed quite a few times by someone who knows how to use one.

Well, AC6 IF you've got an Xbox

HAWX on PS3

@Akuma: The small area of the 163 does benefit it, I can personally attest to that. I found myself switching to the enemy Spitfire rather than trying to hit the damn thing earlier!

HAWX is... I have no idea what it is, I do know however that it's in no way a flight sim... I mean, slipping?? WTF.. press two buttons and you're on someone's six. And if that doesn't work, just turn on the path indicator

. Anyways, jets are lame, and should not be in IL2. They're way out of a piston's league.

The path indicator stuff is crap. On the other hand, all planes in HAWX have virtual cockpits. But I agree, props and jets ends up being boring.

Then again, I could relent if they added some allied jets like the Meteor, Vampire or Airacomet, as all the jets are axis at the moment.

I too miss Ace Combat. I played Zero to death, I unlocked every single damn thing you could in that game, and I was most angry when I heard 6 would be 360 exclusive.

Same here. Zero was awesome, I still have it. Unfortunately my original PS3 died several months ago, and I had to buy an 80Gb version which has no PS2 support - epic fail on Sony's part

I still play Zero too! Isn't it just amazing? And 4 was just godlike too
