I completed the first part of Italy Stronghold, and so far I kindda like it, it's just that I don't like the MC-202 Folgore, fast fighter in a straight line and a little more agile than the BF-109, but not enough Firepower. Nown the MC-205 Veltro is much better in my opinion, instead of flying the Folgore, I prefer the MC-200 Saetta or the Veltro. As for the part one of the Italy Stronghold, it's a good fight, mostly happening in Africa, about the Desert ( obviously ). At least I do like it myself.
As for the Raging Eagles, I completed the first two parts of this one. You fight in the ranks of Imperial Japanese Army over Asia, starting with China, then the Nomonhan Incident, then back to China again, with the KI-27 Nate, then in part two, it starts with the invasion of Singapore, followed with Indochina ( now Indonesia for the Japanese oil supplies ) and next thing you go for Burma, a little west of Thailand. Flying this time with the KI-43 Hayabusa. I haven't played part 3 though so far.
I'm still pretty sure the Stronghold Italy part 2 will be really fun, the last missions were flying the Veltro, against Spitfires, now this made lots of fun. But you really should play the Raging Eagle with the New Japanese Awards Mod, it makes it even more worthwhile. In anycase, I really enjoy flying the Italian and Japanese Fighters, because of all those aerobatics you can do with them, especially those from the Japanese Imperial Army, great fun, but I didn't enjoyed using the KI-27/KI-43 Gunsight too much, so I switched to open cockpit on these two planes.
Thanks for the info, I'll sure try it ASAP.
