I reckon it's going to be like ROF mk II. Basically a beta on release, unfinished though with potential. Rubbish interface and a crap campaign, let alone sound, I predict a spitfire lawn mower not a merlin. Happy to be proved wrong but a fiver says I'm not. I'll buy it none the less but I would expect better than what I believe I'm going to recieve given the lead in time. I so want it to succeed because I love this era, yet I'm underwhelmed.

Hum....Wait a minute !...Is that you honey ? Are you writing this from your office ? Are you trying to convince me NOT to buy the game so I will :
Wash the dishes
Take out the garbage
Prepare supper
Go to bed early
Take the kids to school in time
Not miss a couple of days at work

Well, my dear wife, it won't work ! Caught you !

Love,

Kalimba

Yeah!

Think about it.

You knew the people in the mental health facility were nuts

On this forums they don't come with a file and credentials of craziness.

You have to do your own diagnosis

This guy obviously had a head of twice the average size.

Men can come in all different shapes and sizes can't they.

There are other possibilities beyond "bad AI," you know. For example, gunner could already be WIA/KIA, monitoring something else, OR just plain shell-shocked with eyes as big as saucers.

So what if they are all the same (very small) size?

The pilot is leaning towards the camera a bit so his head appears bigger than it is. Ever taken a photo of a fish you just caught and held towards the camera so it would look bigger?

At 0.55 you can clearly see the 109 taking hits from the 4 x .303 machine guns from the Defiant, he's pulling a quite tight turn as well, that's what makes me think it's definitely the Defiant

On a completely unrelated note to the current discussion, I'm just gonna say that I really appreciated the music over both of these videos, especially 0:44 onward on Air Battle, although the music for Air Battle really was more the sort of music you'd expect on a longer video watching a lot of aircraft form up before a scrap. Big panning shots of large formations and that sort of thing.
