Hello LostinSpace

I completely agree with you, there are many people complaining about this game and how 'bad' its been but we got to remember its the first proper attempt! You can only make a game so realistic when it comes to a console anyway!
In regards to your points;

1. Yes, yes yes this is extremely annoying. I find touching down (in sim mode, i never try landing in anything but) at around 60 then pulling the left stick back shunts the nose into the sky and holds it in position, about 70% of the time.

2. Agreed.

3. This is 'supposed' to be fixed in the patch from what I've read.

4. Christ I agree with you there, doubly so in the Stalingrad missions. Try getting directly over their position using the map and then pulling up at that exact moment, reduce throttle to 0% and stall-turn, you should then be coming directly on-top of them with plenty of time to fire or attempt to aim.

Everyone seems to have paid quite a lot, I got my copy for £20 of ebay!

I will add you on Xbox Live, my tag is sloppyclock.
