These two titles combine simulation graphics with strong gameplay to produce an immersive experience. Gameplay, Controls, Interface Takeoffs in both aircraft are a breeze. In fact, they are so easy that missions might as well start in-air. Just press the thrust key and you are up in one of the 40 single missions. Once the landing gear is up, the immersion begins.
Missions are fast-paced and enemies are plentiful.
Yet stealth is not easily attained, as in NovaLogic's helicopter simulation Comanche 3 . Missile avoidance is the biggest challenge, and there is often nowhere to hide. Pilots will be forced to fight or die. Real-time stats of aircraft losses on both sides are displayed during flight. When the battle is done, a final tally includes the number of hits per weapon.
