Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to introduce beginning players and veterans alike to what they need to know to effectively play Microprose’s European Air War in one-versus-one engagements (full realism options) on Microsoft’s www.zone.com gaming site.

History

For me, there have been three great periods of one-versus-one engagements with human players. They are:

Falcon 3.0 (guns and missiles)
Su-27 Flanker 1.0-1.5 (guns only)
European Air War

The original STK (Shoot to Kill for Falcon 3) was born out of direct modem to modem engagements during the time period when I climbed to the top of Compuserve’s Falcon 3 Ladder. It was 60+ page compilation of email guidance and tips.

In my Flanker days, I did a lot of instruction via text chat, but never endeavored to produce a compilation of what I learned.

Now flying EAW on the Zone, I find myself often tutoring in text chat after a number of kills. It is time for me to produce a new STK to share with other EAW enthusiasts.

I hope that recruit and ace alike will find this document useful.

Salute!
