I really would like to have a well done defense of the Reich sim. Proper massive blocks of B-17s and me flying a rickety Bf109 G6. Climbing up to 8000 metres and more. Heart thumping wondering if there's an escort. The world down below is tiny and far away, donning the oxygen mask and climbing up towards the rows and rows of contrails slicing through the cold blue sky. Going for the head on attack and then getting bounced by the P-47 escort.
For some reason I don't like the North African front so much. I think it's to do with the desert. Most combat sims I played growing up where in the desert, eg. F16 Fighting Falcon (1987), F117 etc. As the terrain is so featureless and lacking in colour it's easy to sim and boring to fly over. Even the camo skins are boring and bland. Yes I understand you'll get some great battles in the set up and Aussies, Kiwis South Africans, Canadians, Yanks, Italians etc etc all get a look in.
