This would be a crime. This has the potential to become a great online game, but without players, the game falls flat. Online has probably got another winner on its hands. If they can attract the players, the game will surely soar. For this reason the I'd have to say the jury is still out.
Nobody wants to play because nobody is playing.
It's difficult to overcome this lack of momentum. If iMagic can move just a few players from Warbirds to DOA , they can make this game fly. Obviously this won't work for a long-term solution, but it might be the nudge to get this game moving. And with the competition for on-line air combat getting tougher each month, this game is facing an uphill climb. I strongly recommend giving this game a try.
