WarBirds III Beta |
|
If you like the idea of WWII fighter and bomber combat, against real live opponents, where hundreds of people can play simultaneously, then you need a massively multiplayer online sim like Air Warrior, Aces High, Fighter Ace, or WarBirds. If you want authentic flight, systems, and damage models, as well as outstanding graphics, you'll only want to look at either Aces High or WarBirds.
Len "Viking1" Hjalmarson files this series of four reports on the upcoming WarBirds III.

INTERVIEW
Warbirds
|
|
I downloaded the complete Imagic Warbirds/Dawn of Aces and Air Warrior 3 games online for free, but later I purchased the "boxed" version of AW3 for the offline missions and mission editor. Finally, last Christmas I purchased WW2 Fighter's, but I freely admit I prefer Warbirds (WB) to any of these.

REVIEW
iMagic: Dawn of Aces
|
|
Dawn Of Aces has delivered what looks to be the best of both its predecessors. DOA has 3D graphics and sounds akin to FCGOLD, and has the flight model and Internet gameplay of RB2.
