Default Wings of prey - steam sale.

Wanted to give you guys a heads up, for next 12 hours Wings of prey is $6 on steam (80% off for christmas) sale. Its more arcadey then Il2 but its still a fun game and has a (simplistic) simulation mode (arcade - realistic - simulation). In any case its worth picking up for the price to hold you over christmas!

(Posted it here in IL2 because the other forum for birds of prey is console players so I thought it would be more appropriate here.)

It's no worthy competitor to Il-2 1946, but I'm still tempted for £3.99.

I bought it for full price. Its the console port for pc, far from perfect and not a good simulator but its still fun (except in arcade mode). Product isnt beta quality - its pretty good, the Yuplay DRM is beta and horrible!

Anyone know if SOW will be on steam?

Agree with last post, not to be compared as a sim with IL2 but Realistic and SIM levels are 'instant action' fun. MP is the main gripe with sessions appearing as joinable but unable to actually join.

Arcade difficulty level is not for the IL2 devotee for sure........

Bought it, really apreciated the heads up, thanks.

And for all you hardcore simmers who say that Birds of Prey is xxxx, and is no sim in any standards whatsoever.

i say to you:

just buy it for the eyecandy.

because it does look really nice.

zakkandrachoff,

I fly Wings of Prey, and do have some complaints. The same goes for IL2. I have also had a lot of fun with WoP. But your critique is so compelling and eloquent, and is so full of..... information of which I was not aware, that I just may delete it from my hard drive.
