There is a 3 minute trailer on this months famitsu wave dvd. It looks pretty good, although the story seems to be incredibly cheesy (not that the story matters but anyway). And i noticed jaggies. I can rip it if you're interested.
 
Nice to see Jas39 Gripen and Blackbird. Wonder if they will have some spionage mission with the Blackbird, high alt avoiding radar(maybe even takes some photos).
I´m waiting for that rip please. ;)
 
I don't think it's yet been fully confirmed or denied whether there's online or even what forms of multi-player might exist. Which is damn odd for a title of this stature 2-3 months from release.

Don't quote me on that, though... I probably haven't read as much about it as others on here. ;) Last real flight sim I ever played was the original Falcon! Hehe.
 
That is not the complete list, (bec'se) Su/MIG are not there. What if it also features helicopter combat?? Ka-50/Mi-35/Apache etc

Well most places were talking about "50 planes" and that list is up to 57 already. Just how many ARE they going to hit?
 
Curious, with all this real planes, are they planning to make them at least semi-real this time or are they still going to be carrying more weaponry then your average battleship like they did in AC4? :p

This kind or realism kills the fun factor! Do we want to return to base that often?? :D

No, but it would be nice to have multiple play modes properly set and balanced to the angles. Let the hardcore sim players and the "I just wanna dogfight!" players have fun in their own ways. ^_^

I don't disagree, the more options the better! :)

Doesn't seem likely that they will be able to maintain that kind of image quality if the game is indeed online.

Options and playmodes can completely kill a game for me.
Gameplay is all about setting up the right kind of boundaries for the game to unfold in.
Options make it seem like the developer didn't know what they really wanted to do, and didn't care either.
