To buy DCS A-10 in instead?

The problem, if it is a problem for you, with the A10 will be all the state of the art avionics, weapons systems, countermeasures, etc.

WW2 you mostly fly and fight, that to me is where the fun is.

I don't want to work through lengthy start up procedures,etc.

If I thought one day I might actually fly an A10 learning all about it would probably be alot more interest. Alas, I know that will never be the case.

I will settle for the entertainment value of WW2 air combat, and accept the complications associated with my work as necessary.

Also, you might want to look into the BOB II WOV is Battle of Britain and it's $20 USD direct download.

It has a dynamic campaign and the best AI performance. An old sim, but still a great value in a WW2 air combat sim game.
