So I mentioned this before in another thread but figured it merits its own!

This is the game I pretty much spend all my free time playing :rollsmile: Lets face it, its doesnt get much better than dogfighting in WW2 fighters and bombers!

Some pics:

And a video I made of one of my matches :rollsmile:

This game is an online pvp fighter based on the hugely successful Wings of Prey, which was a console version ported to PC from the original IL2. Cliffs of Dover, which was also a PC game. If you get my understanding.

Pretty fun.

Still prefer Cliffs of Dover. Nothing beats playing as a bomber crew with some friends and having to try bomb london and make it back to france as a He-111 crew. One player flies, others are gunners or navigators/bombardiers. Very cool when scores of AI Spitfires try shoot your squadron down and the closer you get to your target, the thinner your ranks become. Full online campaign available too. :thumbs:
