I can't download it right now, but I'd like to hear impressions from any Bay 12ers willing to take the plunge.

Its very very complicated with no way to really tell anything apart unless you wait for it to get into firing range so your better off just shooting everything you see that isn't yours.

Very good game for people who are into this kind of game, but it has bad documentation.

Anyone understand the air mission controls?
