Well I bit the bullet and decided to try this out, can say I'm definitely enjoying it so far.
Atm I've unlocked Hurricane Mk I and Mk II ( I am finding I have far more success with the MkI than the MkII though tbh ), I nearly have level 4 in Britain which means I can get my first Spitfire which I'm looking forward too, I hope they have authentic engine sounds because I want to hear my Spitfire purr lol. Last match I got 7 kills which is the most I have got so far, I guess it's not bad considering there was only one other player who had as much kills as me and most of the players had a selection of planes superior to my own.
I am finding it fairly easy in most matches, I imagine it's because I used to play alot of IL-2 Sturmovik multiplayer ( easily the best and most realistic WW2 Flight sim available ), because even though this game is much easier to fly in, the tactics I am using seem to be working very well.
Also, alot of players dive straight in, they don't take altitude into account, at the start of the round I am one of the very few fighter pilots on my team that start climbing, altitude = initiative + speed when you commence your attack, I will mostly always get the drop on an enemy player, get on his tail with good speed and either blow him to pieces or fail to do so, but regardless of the outcome I have plenty of speed to pull up and gain altitude again if I feel I need to, which keeps me safe from most enemy players. Speed is everything and to get the speed advantage you need the altitude, alot of players either don't seem to realise this or they just don't care to, either way I don't care because I'm having alot of fun pwning people.
