    I wish these guys luck, but it looks cartoonish and probably another arcade type game. Not to say that it is not welcome to a lot of people that will enjoy that but making VR a requirement leaves out a great deal of potential customers. I don't think you will see crossover from DCS to this style but I am sure that was never their intent when they created it. War Thunder players will be onboard. Wow those are corny names for a game.
