I ran across one player in AH who was also playing WWIIOL and was not too
happy with AH because he was a tanker at heart and AH just did not fill
his gaming needs.

Hmm....I do not recall calling the game arcade or calling it anything
other than to say I hadn't heard much about the FM. Actually that is
incorrect, the reviews I read and the posts here at one time were
critical of same and since I like to pretend I am a pilot (g) that is
what I am interested in.

No, I have not played it. I installed the demo and never got around to
doing much of anything with it until it expired. I think that happened
right around the time I stopped playing shooters.
