My HOTAS and my abilities seem to be a better match for a customised X-Wing than an A-Wing it seems, as I've been doing better. No chance yet to compare TIE Fighter vs. Interceptor since the patch.

There are some golden moments for sure, like one time I was franctically trying to take down a TIE Bomber close to our capita ship, I was being shot from the rear, lasers flying everywhere, chasing the guy at one point through an explosion's wall of fame, inches from the capital ship's hull.

No, I refunded it.

my Pc is now 9 years old. So if I want to play I would have to go PS4 route señor K.

Just didn't enjoy it. I saw I was at 114 minutes or so and decided to get my money back.

I might pick it up on a 75% off sale for the campaign (I don't care for multiplayer)

ahhhh, yeah a big part of my hesitation is single person story or lack as it were.

Somebody (maybe here) put it very well: this X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, not either of the single player games.

I am not sure how long more it will hold my interest, but it's been quite fun in MP.

Yeah, I didn't care much for that one, either. :P

I guess the campaign is like 6-10 hours? 

PC Gamer sums up my feelings quite well:

TIE Fighter and X-Wing shipped with an entire novella about your character. They really were into the worldbuilding aspect of the series.

So can you play this with just a mouse and keyboard, like war thunder?  I have a joystick but I've never been any good with those things.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I am playing with a mouse and keyboard. It is a pain.  I ordered a joystick.  They seem to be sold out everywhere.

PDH!

The Minsky Moment

You can use an xbox controller.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
