There seems to be many on this forum that don't find it so 'obvious'.....or they just don't want to let facts get in the way of a good whinge.

I'm not sure why, WW2 Aircraft are badass and dogfighting is even more so.

The cool factor is way beyond infantry combat and is more akin to a sport. Plus there is alot less blood and you dont have to watch simulated people dying all the time. Unless your a chute shooter, which isnt fair anyways.

So im extremely surprised that more people dont play WW2 Combat flight simulators!

That is easy to explain:

a) you dumb the sim down that everybody has fun -> it is getting boring pretty fast.

b) you do a real sim -> a steep learning curve frightens the majority

c) to have fun you have to invest in hardware, only to get laughed about by your spouse when you use it (TIR).
