25/3 verkar vara ett spikat datum... Måste säga att jag är lite skeptisk till att det skulle vara något nytt underverk. Av bilder/video ser det snarare ut som en patch till IL-2 1946 än en helt ny sim, om man vill vara positiv så kan man ju se det som ett tecken på att de fixat en massa bra saker "under ytan"

Sett fram emot detta länge 
Givet köp!

Svårt att säga något innan man haft chans att testa men de som förväntar sig underverk brukar bli besvikna

Ser själv fram emot ny/bättre skade modellering, de utökade MP möjligheterna och förhoppningsvis har det där nya vädersystemet de pratade om också kommit med även om det inte nämns något i PR.

Gillar dock följande screen shot som visar att städerna/byarna nu inte längre är 20-30 hus.... Undrar dock om personen som tagit den aldrig hört talas om FSAA, alla screen shots jag sett är fyllda med jaggies

The player will join the British Air Force to fight the German forces and renegade pilots on his own side

Det där låter ju lite crazy? Eller fanns det historiska exempel på egna som hjälpte tyskarna? Har jag aldrig hört talas om.

Håller med Lupson men kanske för att ge SP kampanjen en liten tvist? Mina historiekunskaper är dock för dåliga men Horisånten vet säkert...

Jag har faktiskt aldrig hört talas om några "renegade pilots" i RAF - om de menar brittiska piloter som tog sina Hurricanes/Spitfires och började skjuta på sina egna, eller deserterade och sedan använde sina flygplan mot RAF. Tycker dock inte att det låter helt otroligt. Det fanns i början av kriget en del britter som sympatiserade med tyskarna och NSDAP. De demonstrerade öppet på gatorna, men efter ett tag förbjöds deras demonstrationer och ledare fängslades. De var inte mycket värda när tyskarna började bomba södra England sommaren 1940.
