I wouldnt mind a good chopper game. I havent played one one in years, but it was helluva fun. The one I had was Apache vs Havok iirc. There was a campaign you could do and I remember one mission in particular.
I had to take out a tank coloumn moving west down a river valley. I flew to the target 5 feet off the surface of the water following the riverbeds contours. I got to 2 klicks away and went in to a hover. The tanks were around a corner in the river that was hidden behind the valley contour. So I very gently hovered over to just below the lip of the hillside. I then landed the Apache and rolled it forward on the deck so that the nose mounted sights were just able to target the tanks. I then locked up targets and proceded to fire mavs at them while still landed. Thanks to the angle of the slope I was on the mavs went up and came back down right on top of them smashing them to bits. I then cruised home for a debrief and a cuppa.
And that was all with atrocious DX8 graphics and physics. If this game has good graphics, good physics and a generous amount of flight characteristic settings then I will be one of those seriously considering buying the game. Full chopper flight controls really require a pedals setup as a twist grip stick really wont cut it in the long run. So I hope Gaijin take this in to account and give players fully customisable controls.
