Having only played a couple of hours my impression is quite favorable. Print on the screen is easier to read and I am enjoying the game so far. One thing seems to be missing. The author states that downed fighter planes cannot just be retrieved and repaired as in the regular game. This is not true. My Condor was shot down and is now being repaired. I agree that when a plane hits the ground at few hundred miles per hour there isn't much to repair so this would be a nice addition to the realism if it worked. It is interesting that you can now buy Foxtrots as well as Condors at the beginning of the game and the Foxtrot is cheaper in spite of it being the better plane. The Condor has a 10% Advantage in turn radius but the Foxtrot is better in all other aspects. This makes the Condor obsolete. Also on the research screen the "high speed interceptor' is still available, which is the Foxtrot, and is unnecessary to research. So far I haven't noticed any increase in ground combat difficulty but my soldiers accuracy is certainly better.
Edit: Just finished the game and yes the combat is harder and better. Really like the new armor, looks great. Overall a very good mod.
