New UK review, the consultant on the game is none other than Ed Macy, this is getting better and better.

Strike or CTA would work well with choppers but not sure about dogfighting with them unless you can set up a match without missiles. Guns only would be great. In fact guns only, sim mode with no target indicators and some tall buildings would mean a great cat and mouse match. Hovering down low in a street waiting for opponent to fly past then hit them with the cannon

Heck ya Blue Thunder comes to mind :) That would be fun.

They reveal you can dip in and out of FLIR guncam at will, which is going to be awesome. I feared some of that footage from the trailer was an on-rails segment when I first saw it.

Wow, coincidently I ordered his book Apache just last night to get more background atmosphere.

I read it not long ago.. If AAA is good enough for Ed Macy then I'm sold.

Yes, I'm really looking forward to reading it, and the game just keeps sounding more and more promising.

Good preview apart from the "9mm minigun".

"This mission primarily focused on the eradication of ground targets and having to get up close and personal with the terrain, something new for Gaijin Entertainment, as their previous title IL-2 Sturmovik – Birds of Prey primarily concerned itself with aerial combat."

He obviously never played a sim dogfight in BoP :-)
