Missing dual LMG O8 Spandau – Sky Baron: War of Planes Review

It's a good start, this game. But the game doesn't seem to accurately model performance and armament differences between the Halberstadt D.II, and the faster, more powerfully armed Fokker E.V and Pfalz D.XII. In the real warplanes, the Fokker Triplane, E.V and Pfalz had two LMG O8 machine guns, but in the game, you only get one machine gun no matter what fighter you choose to play. That is unfortunate, because some missions are more challenging than they should be with only the low firepower the game allows. It's also impossible in the game to do many aerobatic maneuvers that the planes would be able to do in WWI. The simulator doesn't give you more maneuverability with the Fokkers and less with the Pfalz and Halberstadt like it should. I'd also like to see the game allow replays with a point of view outside the plane. Perhaps that's too much to ask of an iOS game, but a Mac desktop/laptop version could probably do a good job of it.
