That actually does look like fun. I can enjoy something like that as long as it's well done. It would be nice if it was about the level of Apache, kind of a middle ground. Seems to have a good mix of mission types. I have the first of those games, which I've only played with once (kind of dull) but the subsequent Pacific theater game looked like an improvement.
Maybe when it's on sale at steam.

Carrier-based Starfighters will be interesting...

Yeah I saw that and ran it back to make sure I saw what I did. Good luck fellows.

Agreed, does look like some fun

Looks pretty cool. I saw a preview of this on IGN but it didn't have near all this variety of missions showcased like Carrier Ops and Search and Rescue. Looks like it models cockpits to some degree. Looks fun.
