So take this review with a grain of salt (I played on easy difficulty) but I played the combat ready mode and caught the enemy from doing literally anything and they actually just do nothing but fly over the UK for a long period of time before they just leave, in which you can put your interceptors back in position. Catching the enemy from doing anything is really easy if you set up CAP's around the UK. The reason why this is a negative review is because winning based off keeping all the scores high is very boring. Like keeping civilians happy, and not allowing the war to start. The personal performance is fine but "winning" by keeping the peace is boring. The enemy does nothing to start the war (if you know what you're doing) and so its really easy to keep the peace. Feel like this is a pretty big oversight that will be adjusted. "In Endless, you will be challenged to spot the bad guys, ensure they don't sneak through, if you do, it could lead to all out war." Even if they do get through you get hit with a small penalty that doesn't really do anything until like 4 or 5 spoofers get through and before that even happens I knew what I had to do and so that never happened. I do really like this game but this part of the game sucks. I will probably keep playing this game but like 4 hours and I already found a way to draw out the game indefinitely with some really boring gameplay. Idk I guess I just have to let the enemy kill me or I shoot them first for the game to actually get started. Also if ya'll are interested in knowing how this game runs, you won't really notice it because the game does act like a radar screen but at game start i get like 200 FPS and after a good amount of time you'll be at like 40 FPS. I do wish you could just configure how much civilian traffic there is because it does bog the game down a lot.

It's like Gunner Heat PC but you joined the Air Force instead of the Army. Great immersion and fun

Fantastic down time game. It's immersive, responsive, and very addicting. Mostly though, it shows massive potential. A few friendly recommendations: - QRA engagements. It would be very handy to see exactly what stage of interception (ident, show of presence, show of force etc) the sorties were undertaking. That way I can make sure the sorties are doing exactly as commanded. - Redeploying assets ahead of starting the game. For example, tankers are all concentrated onto one airfield; which means if I am to have true dexterity in my decisions I have to send a load of tankers across the country at the beginning of every game. Other than that, this is clearly a very well thought out passion project, with a diamond solid foundation. It just needs a bit of love and guidance for user friendliness. I look forward to future updates
