IGN 360 Hands-on.... 3 new gameplay vids

About multiplayer:

"Up to 16 players can compete in four modes including dogfight, team battle, capture airfields, and strike and the player setting up the match can select any of the three difficulty settings. Other options for match tweaking include limiting the aircraft that can be selected by year, meaning you can set it so only planes available up to 1940 are available or all the way through 1945. The setting, from Dover to the coast of Sicily to Stalingrad, can be selected along with time of day, weather patterns, and whether or not you want fuel and ammo to be limited."

I love the era settings, how cool is that?

Anton, the drinks are on me. I'm beyond pumped right now.

is it me or did it look like its way too easy to stall in "sim" mode... not to mention in a Spitfire of all planes.

the guy could barely turn the plane without it highspeed stalling all over the place.

Damage model is amazing tho

The guy simply doesn't know how to fly real plane.
Not an excellent idea do those things with your plane on a low speed.

Exactly. As Brendan O'Brian said to his pupil as he wrenched the joystick about in his Tiger Moth 'Make love to the aeroplane, don't f**k it !'

incidentally anton - whats does BMB stand for below the airspeed and altitude values ?

Number of bombs.

The game is looking GREAT but one issue is still bugging me....

Radio chatter, we can hear the Germans over the radio (even in realistic mode). Anton, is this chatter only during tutorial mode?
Also I noticed some American accents during the battle of britain. Does this campaign follow Eagle Squadron then?

We are going to have chatter in the game. Or it is too silent.
I know, it's not realistic.

In US build - there are American accents.
In European - UK accents.
