The Right Stick controls your throttle when flicked up and down, but also banks you without steering when pointed left or right. Controls like these are less about re-creating the realities of propeller-driven flight and more about making your plane do anything you want it to do in the air. It controls more like a TIE Fighter than a Spitfire. It is practically impossible to stall a plane in Heroes Over Europe, and crashing only happens when you get shot down or point your plane directly at something hard like the ground.[/I]

Ok, now I know which game I will not buy. Even BF1943 has rudder controls and the flight physics there are far from convincing.

He was right. It was called for.


dennis580, have you even tried the BoP demo? Your ignorance to the differences between these two games is amazing. It seems that basically what you are looking for is mario kart in the WWII sky.

Like releasing a week early would make any difference at all in your case. You want to know what you can get with BoP? GO PLAY THE EFFIN DEMO!.

HoE has rudder controls. The author was playing with the "idiot" control setting. There is also a professional setting.

And i'm picking up both. My favorite genre, my favorite time period. I'll take all I can get.
