I'm addicted to this one lately
(odd since it's old and all)
It's not quite perfect and it's very unfortunate that it was never modded to the same level as SH3. Otherwise it's immensely enjoyable and immersive (just be careful to tweak your difficulty settings - if you put everything on 'hard'/'realistic', I honestly found the game to be unplayably hard). Only $6 on gog.com, and runs perfectly on modern hardware! The downside, I guess, is that it's old and very graphically dated (think late 90s). It was optimized to run on older hardware, so the number of planes is a bit low, too (you'll never see more than 18 bombers and 20 or so fighters in the air in any mission). I've actually recorded a "let's play" track for it recently, but haven't gotten around to finishing it yet.
I dream of a sequel for it - IMO it's one type of game that would be glorious with modern technology.
