Coded by the lead of the team that finished European Air War. Same guy who coded campaign and flight model of Jane's Longbow 2.

Well, you can control any radar with just 4 buttons (mode, range, target select, target lock), but those radars have various modeled quirks, like poor look down capability, or the ability to lock on and fire at 6 targets. You get to roll F-4 with your rudder and enjoy the elevator of early Hunters sticking solid at trans-sonic speeds.

Dynamic. There's a ground war with tank groups bumping into each other which shifts the front lines. You help them, strike against ground targets, or escort bombers and intercept them. Each plane shot down on destroyed on the ground is subtracted from the squadron strength, so it's possible to annihilate a MiG unit by airfield strafing and hangar bombing. No ground war in Nam (but you get to meet the SAM sites of Hanoi) and not much of it in Iceland.

First Eagles2 isn't on Rise of Flight flight modeling level but you get pretty much the same dynamic campaign as above (same game engine). Oh, and the AI can be quite nasty in a gunfight in both jet and WW1 games. I've seen a vertical head to head attack in SF2.

The series is also quite moddable. Most of the stuff is hosted at Combatace
