There is definitively no "putting down" the beginners, it is just generally speaking that choosing the easy way is the way to the dark side

If someone really is interested in the simulation part this person should switch to the cockpit view asap.
For fun -> everybody can choose.
my 2 cents
and now: BTT

I was checking out some of the DCS videos, and in the new game the clouds looked quite good to me; as they had a prominant shadow where the sun wasn't shining on them. I will check, but I haven't really noticed this in SoW. Of course; what we're seeing is by no means final

But it's worth noting in any case I think.

You really need to go away till the game is released

...come back in one year

Tree you'll like this. There's one thing and it's a big thing that I hate about this sim. The arena! Back and forth back and forth, what is it 15 minutes to get over there? You have to fly the slowest ugliest 109 in the war....pooey. I hope to god North Africa comes quickly because I suck in that E.

This is what I'm waiting for!

A North African campaign would be fantastic, and the F4 is also my favourite 109 to fly (well within Il2). The camo schemes do it for me as well

Tree that's great .......we agree

I'm looking forward to flying a lone Ju-88 nap of earth to targets deep inside the UK and back, hopefully. Or a Blenheim bombing missions into Northern France, just for a break in fighter ops.

Imagine this scene Tree on SOW's North Africa map.

Actually, i think that just because of the limited endurance the primary fighter types have, we'll see extended use of other aircraft and that's actually a good thing.

Bombers will be a blast to fly, especially online in well orchestrated and cunning sorties, thanks to the multi-level AI. Imagine for example if we can be radar vectored online, by AI or even human players.

Flights of Jabo 110s go nap of the earth, blow a few holes in the radar cover and the 111s and 88s stream through one of them. The map is big enough for the fighters to be unable to cover it easily or even effectively (fuel issues), the speed discrepancy between fighters and bombers of the time is not that big, etc. I think we'll see a lot of frustrated fighter pilots

I'm really hoping to fly an Anson.

An Airfix 1/72 Anson 1 was one of my first seriouis attempts at painting a model plane. I still have the poor thing somewhere.
