I've followed Bruce Gordon's YouTube channel and read his book "The Spirit of Attack" I've learned so much about the Delta Dagger and Dart. I've grown to appreciate the sophistication and technology of the F-106 so it has a spot in my heart.

It's definitely a little on the janky side in terms of UI, but the basic gameplay is nice, similar to Battle Academy but with much cooler graphics. It's definitely not a hardcore tactical sim (e.g. tank crews are simulated, but you can replace them instantly with a cooldown ability)

The camera controls don't strike me as being that different from Battle Academy. Did you guys play past the first part of the tutorial? Because it unlocks the camera after the first few dialogue bits. I took this screenshot where I'm zoomed mostly out and it feels plenty free to me. Though it does do that annoying thing where the camera starts to look straight down the more you zoom out.

But even in that screenshot you can't see anything. I need to see what's in front of me and see the MAP so I can develop an attack approach. The weird fov prevents that in game.

So what will be, the already planed and ordered, Israeli reaction?

I guesstimate a small flight will release a number of modified rather unexpected stealthy (for Iranian standards) cruise missiles, with penetrator capability (let's call it a Taurus 1.5) that will destroy a number of drones and/or ballistic missiles inside storage spaces.

Its not so much about to destroy a few dozen of drones but to demonstrate that they can hit any bunkered target deep inside Iran any time if they have to.
That is the message.

I don't believe it does. I have only a couple of the early DLC (Waking the Tiger, Man the Guns) and it worked fine last time I tried (a year ago). I just reloaded the latest version but haven't run more than a few days before some other shiny thing came along.
