True she is nice but I hate clueless people reading things like that off a script.

screen grabs from the E3 video showing the aircraft available.... note at the bottom of the first P-39 is shown as well as mention behind of 'battle of britain 1940'







Edit: also look to the screen on the right of the guy in the video it's titled 'battle of Santa cruz'

Just the first trailer and I need more information xDD. There are 8 campaign; Midway, Guadalcanal, Coral Sea, the Mediterranean Maltese island, Germany’s Ruhr Valley. And the others?. I do not think Pearl Harbor is a campaign, I think it is a mission.
Minimum should be a campaign in Europe and another on the Eastern Front

100 planes , Dauntless, Buffalo, Wildcat, Avenger, Zero, Val, Kate, confirmated for the trailer... Do we start with the bets?

banzai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks too much for the new hicks-81!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is kn'awesome news! 100 planes! I will see you guys on this the day it releases.

PS i hate waiting................still looking for sim games on 360 most nights...
there is still a strong realistic group going strong during my timezone but I just cant get into it for some reason.

Lets just pray that the scoring and hit detection is improved a bit to not drive away the new players so fast this time around.

Brilliant news. Europe and Pacific theatre and 100 planes? Better than anything could have expected. I can't wait for this to arrive.
Ruhr valley means only one thing to me, Dambuster raid in Lanc. If so then next years PS3 gaming is sorted for me!
