The Microsoft team has given us exactly what we've always wanted - the chance to fly all the planes in the simulation. While the developers have finally consented to let us fly more planes, this new freedom comes at a great price. Germany trumps the two Allied nations producing not one, but two jets, the Gotha 229 and Me 262. The German bomber arm relies on the Ju 88. German aces can pick from the FW 190 or the Bf 109 or the experimental Do 335 Pfeil.
The USAAF fliers can rely on the holy trinity of Lightning, Mustang and Thunderbolt while also getting bombing support from the Marauder, taking to the skies in the experimental P 55 Ascender or the jet known as the Shooting Star. The RAF also get the Vampire, Britain's second jet fighter. For the RAF you can fly the Mosquito, Spitfire, Tempest, and Typhoon and American Mitchell. The range of planes you can fly is also quite impressive, especially for this series. These performance differences are quantified in the game, making it easy to see the degree of difference between one plane and another. Performance differences for the various planes are easily felt (provided the flight modeling is turned up) and you'll really have to adjust your tactics based on whether you're fighting the Hun from the cramped office of your Spit or from the robust interior of your Thunderbolt.
The Planes As we've come to expect from the series, this one rates very high in terms of plane modeling, both in terms of visuals and performance. And like previous years, these shifts can be both good and bad. This time around is no different, with some predictable upgrades and some shifts in some new directions. Since then the series has made a few expected changes and even thrown in a few surprises as well. This time around the Combat Flight Sim franchise wings its way west to return to the European skies which it first flew back in 1998. I've followed this series from the start and have been as anxious for this release as I can be in this busy season.
