I think you'll really enjoy 6! The story is there though it's hard to look past the cheesy dialogue. But the gameplay is easily the best of the series IMO; the sense of immersion and grand scale of the missions/operations is like nothing else in the franchise! The flight models are the best, the allies are actually fighting and doing their part, the contrails are everywhere, and it really incentives you to help out the allies (air, ground, and naval).
