Apache Air Assault Thread

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.

New UK review, the consultant on the game is none other than Ed Macy, this is getting better and better.

They reveal you can dip in and out of FLIR guncam at will, which is going to be awesome. I feared some of that footage from the trailer was an on-rails segment when I first saw it.

Wow, coincidently I ordered his book Apache just last night to get more background atmosphere.

I read it not long ago.. If AAA is good enough for Ed Macy then I'm sold.

Yes, I'm really looking forward to reading it, and the game just keeps sounding more and more promising.
