This has also been put up on Rock, Paper, Shotgun. A good games news website which is always worth checking out:

I'm going to have a look and see what it's like being on the giving end rather than the receiving end for once

Interesting.

My father was a SAM-operator (Well, a Hawk battery, so probably not the same as the Soviet systems), wonder if he would find any of this familiar.

First go at one of the Cairo missions - the higher altitude intruders from the North East turn away as soon as they detect the radar locking them up, so I was detected - their recce mission was a success, and my SAM battalion pinpointed, but it cost them two aircraft in less than a minute.

There is no IADS for target cueing, so the search is manual using the P18 radar, as is picking out a target from within the four ship formation once it was identified. Five missiles expended in two engagements both of which were successful. Although I locked a third target the predicted range exceeded the low level kinematic range of the missile in 'K' guidance mode.

Well I can't play it as I can't do 1280X1024 on my 19" widescreen

I can get 1280x768 as the max.

It will probably get variable resolutions at some point. I'll try and keep an eye on the development with that in mind.

I sent them an e-mail

Hope they take notice.
