I like the grouping of units in NWAC so that you can, for example, order a "4-ship" flight as a single unit. I'd like it better if the regroup function worked for after individual aircraft leave the formation.

NWAC probably has a better sensor model under-the-hood. It's difficult to see.

EDIT: just to give some more credit where credit is due, they added fire effects to their damage model, which is a nice touch. It seems they knock a % point off the burning ship every so often. It's still way behind the damage model of, say, Silent Hunter, but it's an improvement over the SCS games.

Other than that, I really feel like FC was better. Animations, attacks, AI, audio... and even though NWAC has better models, there aren't nearly enough of them (they have to use the AMRAAM and Harpoon for just about every missile!)
