Wow those screens are looking quite good. That first one of the Flir pic looks good as well.

I'm hoping the first is DTV because, at least from that distance, it doesn't look like any of the vehicles are giving off a heat signature.

Still, they're remarkably close to the real thing:
DTV

FLIR in daylight

Another French preview. (Either they're fast or there's some country-based media embargo?)

was looking for more news reports or articles about apache air assult and ran across this game coming out. Homefront. looks more like a CoD type game but from what i read it sounds like you will be able to fly an apache ( or an osprey..or drive a tank) in some of the campaigns or multiplayer. the premise and trailer look interesting....something to keep an eye on.

Well it should look slighty different anyway
The Apache in the screen shot has M-TADS (Modernised Target Aquisition and Designation Sight) , The real pictures are of the old outdated TADS system used by the AH64A-D pre 2005. You can tell the difference by the reticle. The MTADS has little bars at the edge of the + and also has an x when the laser designator is active, the old TADS hud has neither of these and has a I shaped thing with a secondary + in dots. You can compare the videos on this thread too, the 'gun cam 7' is TADS and the 'Apache kills insurgence' is MTADS.

hey guys,

first post on here, but been playing the il-2 games including BOP for a long while now and was glad to hear this game is being released, looks like that preview over on destructoid gave away the list of flyable aircraft except the person who wrote it knows nothing about aircraft and referred to them as variants of the ah-64. this is what they said "Apache AH-64D Longbow, Apache AH-1, Apache AH-64X Experimental Prototype, MQ-8B Fire Scout, and Mi-35 Hind" as flyable aircraft. and judging by one of those screenshots with the Mi-24 looking aircraft (see Mi-35), i'd say that the list could reasonably reflect whats to be expected. Oh and the firescout UAV? maybe some SAWX 2 style missions? (hope not). I can't believe its not being released in Australia, that really sucks.

These new screens confirmed for me that this game has the best environmental graphics in a flight sim. The trees and scrubs look fantastic. I really can't wait for this to come out for the single player campaign. I am looking forward to hearing about multiplayer options. 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

i'm one of those unlucky people who lives in rural australia and unfortunatly has a horrible internet connection, practically meaning that any kind of air combat, or for that matter, any game is practically unplayable online due to lag issues or being dropped from a game, so i'm hoping the single player really offers a diverse and flexible set of missions, ie, i will be able to select the aircrafts war load, and infact, what aircraft i would like to pilot for a particullar mission.
