Impressed by their gung-ho sponsorship of the search for several hundred immaculately preserved Spitfires in Burma I thought I’d give their game a try. It’s quite fun in an ‘arcade’ sort of way, and it you are experienced in flight-sim combat you can get to survive a battle or two and take out the odd enemy – though I am guessing as you get further up the ladder it will become a bit harder when you meet the pros instead of rookies.
But frankly the mouse control doesn’t do it for me.
Shame. If it was joystickable I’d play all day
Edit: Apparently you can fly with a joystick, but it isn’t that good. I’ll give it a go next time I am in the mood for some mayhem

‘War Thunder’ might be worth a look. It has a very ‘arcade’ feel though it can be flown from the (beautifully rendered) cockpit as well. It does have harder/more ‘realistic’ settings, though even maxed out the flight model feels a bit childish.
I enjoyed looning around in a Gladiator though!

I have a similar problem with these games in that my flightsim fsx setup doesn’t work and I can’t be bothered to reset trim, throttles and yoke each time I want to play.
They do look fun though. Bit like World of Tanks. It’s those memorable games that have you coming back. Like being last man standing, 5 to 1 in the Tiger and winning!
