Great graphics, engaging story. good gameplay.

Not perfect by any means, and always a work in progress, but this is certainly the premier study sim for military aviation available for home use on the PC today.

i liked everything about this!

I've owned and played the base CMANO game for a long time, but hadn't put in many hours recently. That's changed with Northern Inferno. The use of a Campaign system - even if it is just a series of scenarios aids immersion, and the 1975 Cold War setting is one I find fascinating. The introductory video is great (I wish every scenario had something similar) and the range of platforms - some common, some more unusual (D43 HMS Matapan anyone?) - maintains interest. If I had one wish it would be that the database descriptions for involved units be expanded a little with some narrative to back up the exhaustive stats (maybe with a few hints on how that particular platform could best be employed) and a somewhat better selection of photographs.

Overall this is highly recommended, either as an introduction to the game or as DLC for more experienced players.
