Terrible. Absolutely terrible. The flight models are exaggerated (For instance, the ground loop on the FW190 is a real thing, but this game, not a simulator, exaggerated it to the point where I cannot apply enough control to counter it.) In addition, this latest update has added a bug which prevents missions from loading completely, and I as the owenr of the computer no longer have the ability to close the game. I simply don't have the permissions necessary, as the SYSADMIN. That's effed up.

In addition, two aircraft are locked behind particularly expensive paywalls. Not even DLC, they're there in the game, just paywalled. If this were a DCS level of detail, I might understand. But $30-$40 for an IL2-level flight model and graphics? No, to hell with that.

One the upshot, the most recent update added mouse controls and driveable tanks. Now, if there wasn't a literal game-breaking bug, we would have a limited-scope War thunder wannabe with a marginally better FM.

Thanks 1C company!

As an addendum, I'm writing this as of the most recent update, for the first time. Previously, eight months ago (Prior to BCT, AIT, and Duty Station) I did enjoy this game, not much of a dogfighter, but to practice maneuvers for the joy of flying a warbird. Eight months ago, I would have recommended it, in spite of the problems.

At this juncture, I can't.
