Anyone have it ?.

Got it cheap from Game and it arrived this morning- I just wanted something shiny to unwrap, you know how it is fellas.

I had avoided it due to throwing Rowans BOB out of the window a few years ago in complete frustration and this effectively being a rehash on the same code but I have read some very good things over at the Zoo and SimHQ (especially after a recent patch) so thought I would have a go.

I will let you know what I think after I have a lash with it but any tips, thinks etc welcome.

Yeah I got it some time ago. Played it once and now it rests in peace. Got some really bad bugs until some updates fixed some of them. Graphics ok I guess. I liked to see when the bullets hit the bombers and the effects. To me it was kind of average and didn't hold my attention for long.

The game is very immersive. Ground looks the way it loooks, but its not that bad( well, it is not tragic). I like the big formations and the feeling of being in a fight which evolves into complete chaos. It is worth trying, really. And it is still being developed!:)
