Hi all,
I just noticed that WoP: Special Edition is out on GOG.com, which means it doesn't need yplay anymore or any other DRM. That's great news to me.
I haven't flightsimmed in a while, my last titles where BoBII and some light Falcon 4.0 BMS, some of the Thirdwire series and RoF. I cut my teeth on IL-2.
So... right now I'm in the mood for some "quick" dogfight action.
Visually I want to upgrade over BoBII and IL-2, though I understand it's not going to be Cliffs of Dover like. Realism-wise, I want decent weapon strength, no unlimited ammo, no magic labels and a somewhat believable flight model. Ability to takeoff and land would be nice too. Content-wise I understand it's scripted missions and some "QMB" with the player always alone.
Can it do ground attacks?
I'd totally appreciate if some of the guys here with experience in that game could give me a feel if it fits the bill above.
regards

It's been a while since I played that but I was always impressed with the graphics. What put me off were the mission parameters,like 'shoot this number of aircraft down' etc.
I did like the MP side of it but that's probably dead now.

Battle of Stalingrad has some quick dogfight action in some of the servers. And as it is from the same folks who brought you ROF you will be familiar with it.
Race you to the Mucky Duck!
