I've been on the fence about buying this game for a few months now. My primary concern is the cleanness and the user-friendliness of the UI. I've been watching the videos and looking at screenshots, and I can't quite decide if the screen is too cluttered or not, or it is just that the images I've seen have tended to have more options switched on.

Also, are there lots of screens and clicking to sort out a strike (e.g. sorting out load-outs, altitudes etc) or is it all automated unless I choose to dig into the detail?

Also, if you have the means, you can drag windows to another monitor to unclutter things even more.
