BTW, we have some italian fellows in DT too.

Let me say thanks to those guys. These Macchi planes are really something, I like them a lot, you can do quite some nasty things to allied aviation in them.

What really matters is that the game challenges you to learn how to fight an illusionistic Dora in an illusionistic Pony, a Hurri in a Macchi, or a Brewster in a Rata (which latter ones I personally find much more exciting ).

I bet I could not takeoff in even a trainer plane of that time. And don't forget a really accurate sim would have to introduce checklists to follow - which I personally can do without, its a COMBAT flight sim and a game. And to me the early to mid war period offers the most, too.
