Starting with the controls, you're forced to go through a flight tutorial before the game pushes you into combat. Thank your lucky stars that it does this as it gives a clear explanation, through a nice voice-over, about how to control and maneuver the aircraft you're playing. The controls in Sturmovik are certainly similar when compared to HoE, but the biggest difference is the game gives you complete control over the aircraft. More specifically, it doesn't compensate anything for you. You have almost zero help when it comes to making aerial decisions. If you're losing too much speed in the air, and your craft is about to plummet in the ocean or crash into the ground, it simply flashes a message that warns of your impending doom."
