Put out my hand and touched the face of god" ​

IMPORTANT: If you plan to attend, it is highly advised you play the tutorial missions first and unlock some planes. The planes you initially get are pre-WWII bi-planes and don't match well against monoplanes.​

um.. Malcovent , aren't Soviet and Russia the same thing, as they were called the Soviets until the end of the Cold War?

Edit: Nevermind.... Stop adding to my negative posts rating please, it's just gotten stagnant-ish, and I hope to keep it that way

Russia - A former Soviet state, now a democracy after the dissolution of the USSR.

Soviet Union/USSR - Was a group of nations under the rule of the Communist party, Russia was one of them.

Meet up in teamspeak, I'll invite to a squad and we'll sort out whose what where and why. And then we shall do the following



(minus the jewish/american bit. and replace 'Nazi' with 'Any plane that aint us'. But we will be injun, just because.)

-snorts-

The 1993 constitution declares Russia a democratic, federative, law-based state with a republican form of government

Russia may be considered 'corrupt' by some but in the most blunt of terms it can still be considered a democracy.

 

[nitasu987]

Lol Guys... Just saying the Soviets were Russia, right? So why is there the option to be Both, when historically you'd only get one? (Don't blow up on me about this. I'm Human. (I think). I make mistakes.)

OHWHOOPS, i see where i made the mistake. Was focusing so much on not writing "Russian" and writing soviet, i instead wrote russian rather than japanese. I shall walk away with my stupid head held low now :')

Hence the snort.

On that note, if anyone needs any help ingame/needs to practice a bit feel free to add me on steam (Simply malcovent) and ask :3. The game is a bit tough in comparison with other shooters (4-6 kills in a fight is pretty good going although not uncommon).

 

[RD4life]

So, does this game have any heavy system requierments? Because I think the game looks very cool!

 

[ReyvnNova]

I'll download it and get practising. As a side question, are bombers worth their weight?

 

[Pikmon2]

Another PC only game ;c
Looks fun still.

Often more so than the fighters.

 

[ReyvnNova]

Often more so than the fighters.

Well, I was thinking of either going a speedy fighter or a bomber, but I'm reasoning that fast-paced aerial combat is going to be more difficult than dropping bombs on tanks ^^;

Kind of varies, the main hard part about bombing is the fact that

• You're a bigger target, EVERYONE loves bigger targets. More to shoot at.
• You're a danger to the team since a lot of objectives are based on protecting your land/sea units. So they 'will' focus on you on occasions.
• You're not exactly agile, most fighters can run rings around you.

The game has AI controlling tailgunner, or you can take over ~ but even so bombing is in an art in its own right. :3 Theyve actually balanced both sides incredibly well.

Basically most maps have two objectives, either

• Destroy all land + sea units (AA Guns, tanks, destroyers, carriers)

or

• Gain points by controlling airfields

On top of this, you only have so many planes you can fly (you start with 3 slots, can unlock more. Once a plane crashes = that slots locked until next match ~ so you have a VERY limited number of lives).

Well then, it's a good thing I can't fly. I guess playing the game and seeing what's up will be a good indicator of what to do :]

This looks fun. 5GB left.
