Comments will be premoderatedI'm happy with the new mechanics, Just hoping G-suits modification gets a rework increasing G - resistance!
Rapier !!!
This is a rather bad theme for this major update. Modern combat honed vehicles going back to the Gulf War? I do not know what else is coming, but even a branching timelines theme would've served better.
Hope you fix the Show cockpits in Replay mode???
Beautiful as ALWAYS!!! Love the update trailers !
YEAH BABY F18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When’s it coming out?
Soon™
those maps tho.....
Okay, we keep getting newer and newer planes, but what about the MiG-25? Its counterpart got released already 2 years ago.
Looks nice. And one still doesn't need a mega-gazillion-RTXTXRST-409030809030 nvidia card to make it look stunning. But I hope the gameplay got some TLC, too - not just the graphics - as the gameplay is outdated as hell.
