well....i am very passionate for the game, i love the way it looks, sounds and plays, its still very early in this games life, yes at the moment its restricted to coops in MP, but they are fun, coops is also where is started in il2 really, and look where that went. the single player side of it isnt too bad either, the AI seems very clever, and very tough to beat, there is a solid game here, then you add in all the little things that i spot each day, damage modeling(i have yet to see 2 of the same crashes and wings litterally tear off in flight one by one as the struts give in), new villages and towns, moving trains, explosion effects (arty landing in shell holes make a big splash). engine management is simple, but complex, you have to listen to your engine, check your exhaust smoke, alter your mixture and throttle from the noise your engine makes.
the way the aircraft fly is glorious, it keeps you on edge, the combat is very good, its more about pilot skill now above anything, hitting with these little slow firing peashooters is difficult, and made even more difficult in a swirling dog fight with engines lacking the power we are used to.
my opinion is you shouldnt wait, people will always moan about something, they always will, trust me, the guys who are moaning will be playing this as much as me, one guy was moaning about the lack of flyables, but this knucklehead had in his signature "DCS:BLACK SHARK PILOT", i lambasted the fuckwit of course asking him "how many flyables has that game got you halfbaked twat".
now i dont wanna come across as pushy, and im not on some personal crusade to get you all to buy this, but any fan of combat flight sims should have this, its as ground breaking as IL2 was on release almost 10 years ago.
if your not sure then i guess there will be a demo out soon.

I'm going to wait and see if they straighten out the MP side of things before I buy, the game is very good indeed in a lot of ways, we had guys on the beta team, but the lack of a decent MP will kill this game for a lot of people.
Repent, I can see your beef about the guy moaning about the lack of flyables, but it didn't take me 1.5 days to learn how to do a start up in the Spad or DVII, never mind fly and fight efficiently in them.
It's impossible to compare the two games.
SimHQ is like a boxing ring atm with the punches being traded in the RoF section, I prefer to watch the fights instead of lacing up the gloves.

its true vapour, black shark is very complex, and im not knocking it at all, but the reason i dont play that game anymore, is the lack of good MP, and the complexity didnt make it any better a game or simulator.
i wasnt comparing the games at all, i was pointing out to kammo some of the complaints are nonsense, especially when someone who plays black shark, and appears so satisfied with the single flyable in the game that he would sport a "DCS:BLACK SHARK" sig, starts to make complaints about having only two flyables.
and in all honesty, the MP isnt that bad, its coops, simple coops, im gonna use the editor later and try make some nice missions rather than the simple DF's that are running now.
