BF1942 is the reason i bought this game... played 1942 at a friends house and wanted to buy it... but they didn't have it on MAC at the time so i took a risk and bought WWIIOnline. I don't think i'll ever go back.

I love the fact that the game uses iron sights (BF1942 doesn't).

It has realistic damage models and ballistics for all planes and tanks... meaning if you do enough damage to someone's wing it will fall off... if you hit their fuel tank it will leak fuel and then catch fire... if you hit their ammo box they'll blow up... if you hit their pilot he'll die and the plane will plummet to its destruction. Same goes with tanks and boats. I'm pretty sure you won't find that in BF1942.

The following is decent. Definitely not WoW scale... in the middle of the day on a wednesday things might be a little slow... most weekends, especially during U.S. primteime, you're bound to find massive-scale attacks... from tank columns to para drops to bombing raids. The vast majority of the playerbase are really good people... almost no 12-year-old CS junkies insulting everyone.
