It will bring more tactic to the game, what i like most.

Or bring more micro-management to the game, which is the way I see it. I like the fact that the assist AI is good enough for me to let it take care of stuff without having to babysit each and every battle.

Basically the more complex you make it, the more micro-management you have to perform. And I hate micro-managing.

To some degree. It's not overwhelming. (IE if your order a group of fighters to intercept aircraft, the AI takes it from there). It's actually about the same as DW, though perhaps does need just a bit more attention.

The difference is that Harpoon is not on the scale that DW is.

You are probably right...
