Why players love itThings to know
40% of themes are praise40% are divided20% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
If you are purely interested in fighter combat that is fast, technical-enough and within an immersive engine that runs smoothly on somewhat modest hardware while also NOT being obsessively realistic like DCS... spend your time and hard earned cash on Project Wingman instead.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
The BMS mod is effectively the same core game just with a modern graphics engine, infinitely more detailed terrain and models, native high resolution/frame rate support, and better everything...
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
9 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
It also has a dynamic campaign for replayability, and an active multiplayer base.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
8 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
But it's the freedom for the player in this persistent sandbox that truly sets its campaigns apart from the competition, past and present.
