"Wings" Of Prey (PC). Watchout Oleg!

[13th Hsqn Protos]

S~!

Anton the Dev for Wings of Prey is an absolute stand up fellow. We can only PRAY for his success so that we as a community can (eventually) have two competing games.

Each driving the other FORWARD - (to our advantage as serious flight simmers).

Here is some news for you fanbois....
WoP has already affected SoW development in a POSITIVE WAY because it has RAISED THE BAR for both terrain representation/scale and engine performance.

BE SURE!

Here's a new short teaser. Yeah, the lighting is movie-like and the planes are not up to SoW standard, but the game sure looks amazing:

EDIT: Oops, I discovered this is an old teaser actually...

Ok, if you guys keep posting those WoP shots I'm afraid I'll have to buy it.

How does the game/physics feel compared to 1946 BTW? If WoP shows to be as realistic a HAWX or something there will be hell to pay.

Well... let's put it this way... I am a bad shooter in Il-2 1946 and I shoot the same in WoP

On ground you cant see squat if you don't fly by the book. You really need to be familiar with the terrain a bit otherwise you miss all targets... visually, not a chance to hit them.


P-51 is a PITA to fly especially with those rockets... snap-stalls like crazy.

You do have a lot of ammo in realistic (in simulation is bad due to viewing distance and the milky atmosphere... at least on britain map)




To be more clear... IL-2 1946 can be tone down in realism a heck lot more than WoP at simulation mode. In fact WoP seems very little behind to IL-2 in some fine aspects of flying but because the enviroment is so much more life like is hard to "digitize".

Oh... WoP has support for Freetrack or TrackIR by default... 6DoF... and whats even more funny... in Spitfire you get the same "bug" while looking back to one side like in IL-2 1946 with 6DoF Mod (praise sHr once more, S!)



The radio comms are nice too... pitty you can't ask for instructions etc... but is nice to hear the tower asking for status and the pilot saying... "come again, your breaking up..."


P.S. For ppl in South Africa etc with small bandwith... the demo of the game is available in torrent download which works better in such small bandwidth and can be resumed anytime you want... the demo contains the full game but you have to purchase it online to enable it full... I guess is a good option.

later edit..

a nice ingame movie
