The DRM issue pales by comparison to the horrid AI! By the way, I got my first opportunity to actually use the flak guns off Gibraltar yesterday. Five Beaufighters scrambled and made threatening gestures around me. But, as usual, they didn't fire a shot. My flak gunners opened up after I pressed F6 a number of times (Dieter, as usual, was in, "not cooperative" mode), used the binocs and pressed the Space key to target. The flak gunners, by the way, are no where NEAR as competent as the deck gunners - shooting WAY low and missing everything by a mile!
BUT - the AI for the aircraft is just like the AI for shipping! While watching the B-Fighters wander back and forth, I witnessed a midair collision - with Fourth of July (US Holiday) fireworks - reminiscent of watching numerous ships collide with sea walls, exploding and bursting into flame...
