At the risk of diverting this thread but I think F4 (espicially the new allied force version) is probebly the most "technically accurate" espicially when it comes to ground pounding. Little details are what makes the difference. Things like not being able to see through mountains with radar, not being able to pick a target out clearly from 40 miles out. The degree of uncertainty when you lock a target and afraid to launch because you dont know if its friend or foe.

But all the "technical" aspects put aside what sets F4 apart from other games is its dynamic campaign. No small technical feat which has not been duplicated since. I mean here is a war where your actions really do have a direct impact on the outcome. Here is a war where you can look out the canopy and literaly see it for your own eyes.

Ill be frank I was dissapointed with DW's "campaign". It seems canned restrictive and lacks scope.
