Whaddya say, Phillip?
Oh you know I'm down with this. Haven't had a good quality game of Over G in a long time. Will take me back to the good ole days of the 360th.

I'll go ahead and put my two cents in. Over G Fighters is IMO the best jet combat game..nay..air combat game (prior to BoP) on the xbox for the aviation purist. This was the first game I purchased when I bought my 360 three years ago and it will never leave my library.

Their attention to the little things is astounding, like the little flap opening when you fire the 20mm on the F-22 (I know, I know, the Raptor is the "easy button", but I like to rack up kills against the AI in arena so sue me ) and I won't even get started on the modeled cockpits and how much ass they kick

Sounds good, lets say Tuesday? Time to arrange schedules. If there are only a few of us we can play Arena as co-op vs the AI (not that they're hard) or we can play it ignoring the bases as just a respawning dogfight. Versus goes by too fast. Maybe some guns/Sidewinders only matches, and/or A-10 + dedicated air-air fighter team matches...all kinds of things we can do in there.
If Tues is good, let me know and I'll spread the word some.

+1 on the attention to little things. Detail on this game is astounding. Playback theatre (how can you possibly have an air combat game without one???) shows this to a tee. An example: Watch the front wheel on say a Flanker; watch as its suspension absorbs the weight as you taxi down to the threshold.

+1 also on the arena. Superb fun. Take your craft up a couple times, rack up some big points & limp it back to base after a narrow escape with a Tornado, smoking & engine down to 30% power as you touch down; then the big boss appears; do you bank the points & quit or do you go up one more time & risk it all????

Also not ashamed to admit that I still find missile evasion a realistic challenge. That game just keeps on giving & giving.

Get in an F-15. As you approach mach 2 the engine inlets straighten out for more airflow.
F-22 replays are fun to watch when dropping bombs from the internal bay. You can see the other bombs in there to the side.
Cluster bombs are never get old. Loft it and fly underneath...just about kill yourself when it breaks apart over your heard. LOL
Hop in the A-10 and switch to an AGM...tv guided and you get the screen on the instrument panel. I love that bit.

That night time F-117 mission...ran that one and just ignored the flight path. Left radar off. Enemy fighters followed me halfway across the map and never got a lock on. Gave up and left. LOL
Same with the F-22, keep everything internal and almost nothing will get a lock on. If it does, rotate away a bit to change the surface facing the enemy plane and they usually lose the lock.
I love how radar plays a role in that game. Stay dark as much as possible and use your eyes.

WOW I want this game.

Honestly, if that game somehow ends up on the PS3 by some miracle, I WILL buy it. I must try it.

Hint hint, devs haha.

Roger that. Can't tell you how many times I had to make that decision. Then the question becomes "what kind of big boss is it, an A-10, Tornado, YF-23???" Good times

Default Over G Fighters - East meets West

My visual offering to the already superb Over G videos that have made this thread. A little confrontation between Hornet & Flanker.
