Anoraks won't be going home disappointed, regardless - the final game will ship with 60 real-life planes, each lovingly put together in collaboration with manufacturers like Boeing, Lockheed and Saab - and for those less preoccupied with brands and more with aerial shootouts there's that optional assist system, which should foster a lot of tactical flexibility. Not to mention butterfly stomachs."
