Pilot controlable by Joystick after bailout - run left, run right...

I enjoyed being able to look around in EAW while floating down under the chute.

Their are many daring story's of adventure from the air war over Nomanhan where pilots from Russia and Japan would land their aeroplanes on the grassy plain of Mongolia so that they could rescue fellow airmen that had been forced to land their crippled bomber or fighter...

....just as there are many daring tales of 8th AF Mustang pilots doing the same in the ETO

But that wasn't the situation described The situation described was running from a pilot trying to strafe you. Picking up a downed player/pilot is another whole can of worms entirely

Does anyone know WW2 Online? In this game a player can take whatever he wants : Tanks, Ship, aircraft, infantry.... And it is supposed to be on a realistic way to wage a war. The problem is that the graphism are sooo ugly....


If SoW can turn into a modern online war with fight in the air and on the ground to gain territories like in WW2 online but with good graphsm... It would be really cool ! I mean, ground attack would really play a role, and air cover too ! So we could have all us the nerd pilots covering all those DoD / Half Life / Quake fans trying to conquer our cities/airfields/whatever....

I believe it would be really fun. Maybe having even a commanding system where officers would give us orders like : take off and go support our troops in whatever area or go and attack the bombers located here, etc...

As a pilot, having to cover fellow players on the ground against enemy humans flying a P38 or something like that... It would change from defending static AI tanks.

But seriously, Olog would then need 200 people working for him in the next 5 years to do all those realistic damage models for the tanks/ships/vehicles/whatever....And I prefer flying SoW next year than in 5 years.

You are right of course, their where many storys of the 8th in the ETO...

for the record I'm against turning Olegs game into a FPS...the only thing I wish the game had was real-time strategic control over ground troops, tanks and the big guns... something like the control gamers have in strategic games (one person not a whole bunch of idiots running around in tanks). I think it would add a lot to on-line ground pounding campaigns if their was a real brain behind the movement of the attacking army.


But I stray way off topic...
