    It's a good game.  The Hornet and the Persian Gulf aren't in the sale though because they just came out and apparently Steam has a timeframe from new release that must pass before they can be put on sale according to Eagle Dynamics.

    I'll be grabbing the Viggen personally. Been waiting for the sale for that beast.

    It isn't a steam thing. ED isn't going to put their latest stuff on sale. Usually they wait at least 6 months before offering any sort of discount. That's pretty normal though. I don't know of any company that releases a new game and then a month later offers it 50% off unless that game is doing horribly.

    Anyways, for those interested, I highly recommend the F-5, MiG-21, AV-8B, A-10C, Mirage 2000, AJS-37, Flaming Cliffs, Ka-50, UH-1 and Mi-8. I recommend passing on the others that are on sale. If you want WW2, get IL2: Battle of xxx. The Korean War stuff (MiG-15 and F-86), though wonderfully made, do not fit the rest of the game. A case can be made for the L-39 I suppose. It's a fun plane to fly but its combat abilities are marginal at best. The quality of the other 2 trainers is very low though, so I do not recommend buying them. The SA-342 Gazelle is also a bit questionable and so I don't recommend it either.

    Yup agree with you. Anyone want an excellent chopper then grab the Huey. And my recommendation for a jet is without doubt the AV-8B both have steep learning curves but fly them right they are extremely satisfying :)

    They didn't say that, they claimed it was because Steam won't let them put newely released content on sale so soon from release.  I didn't believe them anyway, Steam is a venue like Ebay or Amazon for game devs, I don't believe they'll tell devs they can't put a product on sale that was recently released.  They could have said "We're not putting our new releases on sale" and left it at that, but they blamed steam.

    You want the MiG-21 Fishbed. There really is nothing like what is effectively a manned missile, pretty much everyone who tries it loves it. Short video of yesterday's escapades on 104th with it:

    Already got everything except the two Jarmin WWII crates and the SOH/Persian Gulf map - won't buy anything else until they improve the VR performance for 2.5

    btw 1C/777 also have a sale on atm for IL-2 BoX - but yet again, it's all the stuff I already have, the stuff I want is SOP price (why don't we have a :roll: smiley here?)
