It looks good, but it is lacking elsewhere. You can collide with a plane and just bounce off of them.

Collision detection is HoE..... NON!!

lol, kinda reminds me of the Blazing Angels 2 demo... I flew straight into a cliff and bounced off, damaged but still very alive.

Yeah. I should have said the graphics look good. Not the game being "good".

Notice the slowdown in this vid; it just gets worse as the game progresses through the missions. The last mission in the game, Berlin, is almost unplayable for long stretches because the game can't handle it.

I also notice the weird stats for the planes. Mosquito slow but high agility????
The Meteor with only 3/5 stars for speed??? thats just crazy. The P-51 with as much armour as a P-47???????
Damn the Thunderbolt was a tank, One shot in the right place could down a Mustang.

Its just all wrong.

Although I am happy that the gaming world feels there is a demand for WW2 air combat games, HOE is too arcadey for me (I have no PC sim exp). I honestly think that those who buy and enjoy HOE would really like BOP as it is just so much better. The gameplay in HOE is competely unrealistic.

I have HoE and will probably trade it in when Borderlands comes out. I love BoP but I also had a lot of nostalgia still for Heros over the Pacific, so I went ahead and got HoE and man was I let down. I knew it wasn't gonna be remotely sim but they really went over the top on this one. My guess is Ubisoft didn't have much of a hand in the development of this one because their other products of late have been quality and this one, not so much. it's sad really.
