A few shots from the Steam page:







Very arcade, no cockpits, no controller support... but so much fun!!!
Capturing points by dropping troops is a genius idea. And the helicopter handling is not bad at all. And huge selection of choppers. I mean it. Where else can you fly a Mi-1 , a Ka-18 or a H-21 Flying banana?

It wouldn't be a bad little game if it wasn't spawn, die, rinse and repeat. Pretty to look at though.

True. Sometimes it can be frustrating. But if you are lucky to join a game where people work as a team It makes a big difference.
Lat night we had a flight of two Hinds and two Mi-2s consistently covering each other while capturing points. Someone also did a great job scattering manpads all over the paddy fields. Quite a show!

Is it multiplayer only?


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

It's multiplayer only. The devs are working towards limited respawns. At the moment there's no advantage to getting your damaged helo back to base. It takes too much time and there's no penalty for crashing/being shot down.

A couple more, flying the Mi-2

Vietnam map. Flying over paddy fields


Capturing a base. Note the grunts running to take the artillery positions. They just jump out as soon as you touch down.
