Birds of Steel – 14 minutes of footage

[FOZ_1983]

Don't get your hopes up just yet guys, not until its in writing from Anton or one of the Devs.I'd hate to see grown men cry.

Maybe just maybe, that screen you saw could be like training mode, and the planes your seeing are enemies that you can select to go against? Yet cannot directly control yourself.

I'm sure i'm wrong because Gaijen know what we want

Just saying... Maybe hold back 5 until either we hear from Gaijen or someone can translate what that annoying fucktard was saying.

I'd love to give a Mossie a flight though... what an amazing piece of kit... can hear those merlins now....

And the Pencilfish to hahahaha.Thats gotta be worth a flight eh pope.

Cheers Gilly

Looking at it I think Tigyo will be hard pressed to find any!

Seriously though, I can't wait to get into the air with the guys from here - the old guard, roll on Spring!

Holy Toledo! I used to have a job working around a crop duster. We went indoors after fueling. Wind sure got up when that air tractor turned around. I can't imagine standing behind a Griffin V12 even at low RPMs.

Just watched the 14-min video in the OP. Not sure how I feel about having Japanese/Axis missions in the game. Maybe they'll just be in the Japanese release -- being a Konami title and all. Of course it'd be hypocritical of me to complain considering I don't complain about going against American/Allied characters in online FPS like Day of Defeat or Battlefield.

That being said, I'm absolutely thrilled to see the P-38, P-40, P-39 and F4U Corsair in the plane list. Those four pretty well cover me. Now I just hope those planes (and the P-51) fly as well as they should. No flying bricks like the P-51 in BoP (or the P-47 for that matter).

it would be weird to bomb your own nationaility's troops or ships. but actually i think if you wish to unlock the jap, german, and italian planes you should have to play the axis missions to do so. gives you perspective of what it was to face the allies. if you wish to only fly allied planes then you do only those missions to unlock those. we recreate battles now online...where guys take the axis side and bomb the uk. to be able to create games like "protect your carrier and sink the enemy's" from jap and aiiled ships will make for some awesome and epic games. i am looking forward to those more than single play missions anyways.
