Plane Sets
Well, according to the box, we've got all the major types here, everything that played even the tiniest part in the Pacific and Far East campaigns. For the allies you've got a plethora of planes from F-4s (no, not the jet powered ones, the ORIGINAL F-4s), P40s, P51s and Seafires (the carrier version of the Spitfire) and for the Axis side you've got Zeros, Zekes and Betty's… but hang on, lets have a closer look.
It says here that I've got 93 different planes in the game, which is certainly impressive and of those 93, 43 are flyable, which is equally as impressive. It all seems good, doesn't it? But on closer inspection, this is slightly misleading. Those 43 flyable planes include the different sub-types for each plane. So what you actually have, once you exclude the variations is 19 different planes, and that's being generous and counting types like Seafire and Spitfire as different planes, though they were virtually identical. Look even closer and you'll find that some of the types that are listed as flyable on the box actually aren't but will be in a near future patch. Now, I'm all for reasonable patching of a game to make it better, but releasing a game promising something and then AFTER purchase saying it isn't actually there but will in the patch? That's not really on now is it?
