Well never playing this game when it first came out, I patched it to the current version and I just finished the allied air campaign.
It takes place during the battle of the Bulge.
What I liked
-That they used real ww2 aces to build the game!
-No crashes or problems at all on windows 7
-playing with the dgvoodoo at highest res made the game look very nice
-I had more fun playing this than The current version of IL-2 sturmovik no joke. Everything seems more do-able and not so far far away and yet NOT like an arcade game.
-I feel like I am in 1944 when I click the ww2.exe
-Awesome mission builder.
-Plenty of in game options
-Beautiful art work, I still can't believe the art that went into this.
-Sometimes US tanks will help you out if enemy armor is your objective.
-Nice single player missions.
-2 campaigns Allied or Axis.
-Multi-player
-Instant Action
-There are a good number of ww2 tanks and vehicles! They did a good job modeling the american side and german side.
-The hanger told you tons of info about each planes guns and engines.
-nice videos from real ww2 fighter pilot aces.
-Neat campaign cut scenes, explosions were kind of too loud though.
-If you died or bail out in the campaign, your AI team will sometimes complete the mission and your player won't be dead or MIA.
What I didn't like
-Playing on keyboard was just fine, you had to change the keys outside of the program in the directory folder though if you wanted to use a key for something else.
-50 cal seemed very weak when shooting at light vehicles even the kubelwagon took 2 passes.
-Playing it on fair mode with no cheats full vulnerability and limited ammo there are just campaign missions you have to tick the cheats on to complete. 1 mission being taking out 27 vehicles with 3 or 4 p-38 all while trying to keep 5 enemy aircraft off of you at the same time.
-Some of the campaign missions just made me cringe, historically accurate or not some missions you were up against twice as many aircraft.
-AI had different skills some pilots where terrible and ran themselves into building when attacking ground targets. Others would get 3 or 4 enemy air kills during 1 mission.
-AI was terrible at landing at the end would crash and everything if too many were trying to land.
-You have to radio to AI in your command to fly at different altitudes to avoid the flak.
