Simulation or Shoot-em-up?

There have been loads of games like that down before and they were all boring to me (IL2 included). I thought this game was going to immerse me in the BOB and have a great campaign mode. It doesnt.

There are obviously two types of people on this forum - those who want a simulator and those who want a great game. We are not at opposed ends of the spectrum. It would be a better place if there was a bit of understanding here about peoples problems. If you dont want to read it then dont - no one is forcing you.

Quoting this dude for epic truth. Glossing over people's legitimate problems doesn't help anyone, and the current state of the game is pretty appalling, all told. A lot of us are disappointed in many of the same things as nats; I find the too-bright landscape, the pop-in, the myriad little immersion breakers and the poor campaigns a big let down, and we all know how the performance has been.

Doesn't mean we don't want things to improve - just that we expected better, and people of that opinion deserve to be heard just as much as the series-fanboys. Doesn't matter whether we're hardcore sim-heads or just want dogfights, we're all here for the same reasons: to have fun flying planes.
