ms cant even come close. either grafix or realism wise. least u need to have contact before u collide..in cfs2, u'd wreck into each other from 300' out. + u didnt have defended airfeilds, ability to carry or launch ordanance, to sit as either a pilot or a gunner in a bomber..then again, what bombers...wasnt any; neither dive, level, or torpedo bombers. u couldnt adjust fuel level or gun convergance either, or the ability to actually make it even close to being real with only cockpit/no externals, etc.
up untill the pacific theater is released, the only suck points is: no carriers, lack of corsair, hell/wildcats, and the fact that the american planes are tad nuetered in the areas of their true potential in manuverability, speed, and most definately firepower in the guns. but oleg refuses to take a hard look at all the tables that's been posted on a/c performance, guns, etc with the american planes. they'd rather make the 108's into 1-hit-wonders when in a real plane, the bogey would be like trying to hit a gnat with a shotgun at 5 yards. u'd have to be point blank and then it would still be iffy. a 5 pound shell would pack a whallop, but over point blank range, u wont hit anything in a deflection going 300 mph with it either...bombers on the other hand would be rather easy....fighters, no way. the gun flashes are a bit unrealistic...come on...a super bright flash in broad daylight...ummm ya

This and a sac of gold might have driven my chronic sense of entitlement into remission, at least for long enough for me to express my gratitude to all those who've contributed. Wouldn't that have been nice?
Cheers,
