It is indeed a right old plane but the thing that bothers me is, we're all used to murky-ish photos of such beauties which encompasses their majesty, yet DCS (and il2 too) always shows them in 4k glory which doesn't cut it for me. Perversely, It just doesn't look genuine.
Cheers,

But,... you can reflect on the fact that we've got'em, and can fly'em. Agreed, the pretty pictures, YMMV.

Stay safe!
