I have the "Wick vs Dundas" Campaign(s) by Desastersoft which I consider to be an excellent product -- it's what Cliffs of Dover SHOULD have shipped with as part of its own package. Unfortunately, and this is no fault of Desastersoft, the CoD AI and Comms really suck, as we all know, which greatly affects gameplay. If -- a BIG "if" -- the devs can fix these two glaring aspects, then offline play will be very good.
At present, I get value from offline play to practice my deflection shooting while making high speed passes on bomber formations. With the current beta (1.08 ) I've turned Engine Temperature Effects "off", so I can at least use realistic engine settings with the RAF fighters without blowing a head gasket, plus get more realistic flight performance. The downside, of course, is that you're no longer required to monitor or manage oil & glycol temps, even with Boost Cut Out Over Ride activated, which is unrealistic as well -- but at least you're flying! (So I do what the Real Pilots did, use BCOO sparingly and report same to the Chief Mechanic after I land.
).
