Boy, I really love the way you can view everything (amongst A LOT of other things). And so quick! I was on a recon mission. Looking at the map I saw I would fly over a friendly FARP. I also saw enemy choppers flying towards that FARP. My X was still way ahead so I enabled the AP, went to the map, clicked on the AA on the FARP and went to the cinematic view. I didn't really use those viewing options unil now: I was far too busy winning the campaign (well, trying to...). Everything looked nice but rather quiet and static. When I looked at the map once more I saw the enemy getting closer. Then I heard someone say: "We are under attack (or something like that) at grid 05 19" (or something like that). That was the spot I was looking at! I never payed much attention to all that chatter, but it's really correct! They don't just say anything! So I went to the cinematic view again and yes, some Hinds were firing at our FARP! And they were firing back. It looked great. Suddenly I saw a single chopper in the background, flying from left to right. Sh*t! That had to be me! So I quickly jumped into my chopper, looked right and yes, there was the battle going on! Time went by so quick that I already reached the FARP! So I loaded my Stingers and fought along with my fellow soldiers. Ah, man, this game is great. Awesome. It's like really being there. I just love the features Razorworks put into this game. It's all so incredible immersive. And they did it really well. You can switch from any view to another instantly. You can fly your own mission and view another on the map screen without delay: no rattling HD or loading screens. Razorworks really did a hell of a job. This is the best helo sim there is. I can't believe any serious gamer giving high points to Gunshit! Sorry for talking so much, but I just can't stop talking (for instance about the very nice crew view (useless but nice!). Or the GREAT radar setup: I love the possibility of a single sweep. And that a destroyed target doesn't magically disappear from the radar: you have to wait for the next sweep! Great! And the way they've mapped the TADS controls at the right of the keyboard: just right! Very easy to use. And you can use them any time, no matter what view you use!

), but on the whole EECH beats anything else out there by a huge margin, in nearly every department except the few I mentioned above. The colossal array of view options - padlocks, external, action, crew, and so on, is incredible, and the fact that it "remembers" the last one used in each basic category is great. What an achievement by Razorworks!
