  • The level of realism increased in some, such as DCS as warbond mentioned, decreased to super casual levels in others, like Ace Combat, and got weird in some, like War Thunder.

    The 80s and (early) 90s were before people who enjoyed flight sims realized that dogfights were essentially over. I remember the manual for F-15 Strike Eagle II having instructions on yo-yo turns, scissor turns, the proper flight angles to dodge missiles fired at you, and almost every time in game you would get into a turning fight. I don’t think that gameplay would fly with today’s players. Most of the interested parties aren’t like your football fans, either. They won’t buy “Pacific theater 1945 (XII Edition!)” from the store when they already have 11 others…

    I would make a bet that more mass shootings are done with 9mm. Depending on which shootings they consider ‘mass’ I see estimates from 60-80% for handgun usage. I’m sure the cheap .22 is a large number, but 9mm is probably right up there. There is a large bias in reporting the school shootings and shootings involving rifles by the media. They almost ignore the others.
