A great variety of aircraft and mission types mixed with solid visuals and gameplay that leans a bit more on the arcade side of things, but is also more accessible as a result. The expansion pack featuring Operation Coronet (the planned invasion of Japan) is also a neat "what if?" type of scenario that hasn't been explored in very many games even to this day.
