I took HoE out on rental and I'm buying it.
Sturmovik is the better simulator but HoE is by far the better game. There is a difference. The vast majority of gamers out there are a million miles away from the people who form the main membership of this forum. They haven't somehow convinced themselves that they've flown WWII fighters for real and really don't give a rat's ass whether they can use a joystick or not. What they want is a game that has no pretensions and delivers a fast and fun gaming experience in both single and multi player. Sturmovik could have delivered this AND its niche market simulation offerings. It didn't, it won't, and that's why it's a dead game online already except for a small handful of aviation bores and boosters.
Sturmovik makes too many mistakes and has way too many obvious omissions to ever be more than a very minor cult hit among the aircraft nerd community.
Mock HoE as you like, I bet we see a sequel for it though. That's not a guarantee for a failure like Sturmovik.

Heroes of the Pacific is one of my favorite games of all-time. So I was looking foward to HoE.
But from what I hear, HoE is not even as good as HotP. So that would put HoE in the minor leagues compaired to BoP.
But, I'm glad you found a game that you like. See you when you wake up.
