You were so limited in the types of strategies you could employ, that the games became all about who could land their shots the quickest.
One of the biggest complaints was the insanely small maps. With a couple of planes you could see the enemy on your radar nearly the entire game without even running much reconnaissance.
I am very hopeful though that they can pull this off. This type of game has a lot of potential.
