This is a shame as it can be slightly off-putting being immersed in a massive dogfight with loads of aircraft in the skies only to catch a glimpse of the ugly ground beneath you. While all the planes you encounter seem shiny and accurately modelled, the ground detail however can be rather barren and lacking in any form of visual clarity, looking like they’re from the mid 90’s style flight sims. This will also impact on whether you want unlimited munitions and fuel or go for a more hardcore experience by limiting everything you possibly can. You’ll be able to select what kind of flight model you desire before you kick off, ranging from simple arcade style to a more realistic approach. You’ll get to control a wide variety of aircraft throughout your campaign, kicking off in some tutorial missions before the events of Pearl Harbor, you get to grips with one of the American fighters.
