Wait wait wait, that doesnt make sense. I can give a flying rats ass about what the water looks like...can we dogfight, can we engage ASM's, can we lock multiple targets? Terrains need to be of some use but.....basing the immersion of a COMBAT flight sim on the terrain is just plain different. If one wants pretty terrains then MSFS is the way to go. What do we want here a sight seeing sim or the ability to shoot Mig's out of the sky? I'm not picking on you steelflanker, I am talking in general as I have seen several statements like this. How many of you honestly take off from a carrier and even give two thoughts to the water? I am going to venture to say not many. The missions, the campaigns, the capabilities of the sim to simulate A2A combat is what this is about. Do not get me wrong I do like nice terrains etc, but I cant recall really when this sim has killed my immersion over the terrain. I get too caught up in the missions and the dogfight to even think about the terrain other than an unscheduled air to ground interface or a run in with a cumulus granite. Then I think about the terrain.
