Yep, bought and played the first 6 missions yesterday. As an Ace Combat homage it is as close to perfect one can hope - the casting of the voice actors, the cheesy/quirky yet weirdly charming dialogues, the MUSIC. As far as the learning curve goes, it is not as shallow as I was led to believe prior to launch. Expect to read and practice 1 or 2 things prior to each mission. E.g. JSOW and HARM prior to mission 1, radar modes for mission 2, JDAM for another mission etc. So it's certainly easier than then most other DCS campaigns, but not trivial. I still think the F-15C Georgian War campaign is the best intro into DCS learning curve wise, but if one really likes Ace Combat's atmosphere, Rising Squall did an amazing job imo.
