I'm liking the more realistic dog-fights. On CFS 1 and 2 sometimes I would shot down a dozen aircraft on one run... Now I get 4-5 kils top, simply because I have no ammo left. I think this a good thing.

Also CFS 3 alows us come back with 0 kills, and mission failed, and continue the game. This is much more realistic than other previous releases.
In the previous, you would die 20 times before completing a mission.
Here, if things look bad (damage, low fuel, no amo etc..) you head back to base. Of course it afects the war outcome but you can still continue the game... i mean.. things didn't always worked out even for the aces right?
