It's also very clinical (?) and procedure driven.

One of my biggest hurdles was mot understanding what went wrong when you go through your 10 step procedure to drop a LGB and it misses. (Lots of colateral damage in my virtual battlefield!)


Cheers!

What in holy hell costs $550? Did you pay somebody to sneak onto an airbase and rip a stick out of an actual A-10? And what on Earth about the game would prevent it from being played just fine on a joystick for mere plebeians?
