Does it just seem sluggish because you are flying World War II
propeller planes (Spitfires and Messerschmidts I would imagine) as
opposed to jet aircraft (ie intentionally so) ?  Or is it a flaw
in the game ?

I thought LucasFilms previous aerial combat game, _BattleHawks 1942_
was great, with one exception :  the planes had to be controlled
by mouse.  Can you use a joystick for _Their_Finest_Hour_ ?
