Im curious as to why most of you are so stuck on props and i dont mean any disrespect by this, just curiosity
1) Because props aren't boring,
you see the enemy and get up close
and not fire a missile miles away,
2) the game was originally designed for props especially WW2,
3) WW2 era and WW1 and in between wars saw much diversity of combat, the aircraft types and sub types was enormous, don't get me wrong I like jets especially Korean War, 1960's, 1970's etc. Sabre, Mig 15, F 105 Thunderchief, Mig 21, Swedish Viggen, F-15 Eagle, English Electric Lightning, etc. etc. but WW2 wins hands down for interest for me. The amount of Camo patterns (so
), nearly all the aircraft actually can be assessed and actually fought and the numbers involved varied from small engagements to enormous numbers in combat. The terrain over which battles were fought was diverse .
4) Modern jets are plain boring - and F-22, or F-35 or whatever compared to a F4 Phantom or F-15 Eagle: the F4 and F-15 wins it for me for interest. Likewise I rather see a Spit or Me10, B-17, Lancaster, Fokker, Spad, MC 202, Zero, etc. etc. etc. than some 'yawn' Raptor.
Kids like the modern jet toys but it is like comparing most of today's music to pre 2000's Rock it isn't just ain't as interesting!
