"FirePower offers some of the most authentic WWII flying experiences ever."
"Never has a sim of this nature seen such realistic ballistic effects like cannon fire and explosions in mid air. Planes will rip in half around you, and shrapnel and debris will flutter by in a way never experienced before."

"Buy FirePower"

Editor's Choice
4.5 stars out of 5
"...even jaded IL-2 Sturmovik fans will want to take a second look..."
"Night missions in a Lancaster with exploding flak surrounding the plane are dazzling"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
GameSpot - 8.5 out of 10 "Great"
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/firepower/index.html
"Some add-ons bolt new features onto games, and others make good games better, but the rarest mod is one that transforms a decent title into something truly outstanding."
"Certified" planes fly the way they are described in pilot biographies instead of "by the book," and each has a distinct personality. This is most evident in their stall behavior, which is modeled much better than stalls in IL-2.

"Firepower is the best thing to happen to the flight sim genre in a very long time"

"The game offers incredible effects in combat"
"Many of the air scenes seem straight off the History Channel"

"Must Buy"
http://www.gamecell.co.uk/pc/Firepower.htm
"In conclusion then, the new aircraft, plus the enhancements to the graphics and special effects that Firepower brings to the default game, makes this, in my view anyway, an essential purchase for owners of CFS3 - Firepower certainly gives it a substantial overhaul and a new lease of life. And this from a self-confessed former CFS3 hater! There you go, what more recommendation do you need?"

"Fly a night mission and watch the flak explode around you and light up the inside of your cockpit like nothing ever seen in a flight sim. It’s almost too real."
"Pick up Firepower and experience virtual shock and awe."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Computer Pilot Magazine:
“It’s simply stunning!â€Â
“FirePower makes great strides forward in the areas of both graphic as well as flight modeling “
"FirePower’s 'Fortress' is superior in both detail and qualityâ€Â

Pilot and Airplane Magazine (Hans Heerkens)
“The choice of aircraft is excellent…The stall characteristics are especially gratifying…Excellent flight modelingâ€Â
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Aviation History Magazine
September Edition, p. 66
“FirePower creators interviewed veterans familiar with each aircraft to define and apply the intangible characteristics sometimes not present in performance graphsâ€Â
“Each aircraft is clearly the result of considerable effort and their beauty goes beyond skin deepâ€Â
“The aircraft alone are worth the FirePower priceâ€Â
