The US release date needs to be moved up 1 week it makes no sense at all for this

The Right Stick controls your throttle when flicked up and down, but also banks you without steering when pointed left or right. Controls like these are less about re-creating the realities of propeller-driven flight and more about making your plane do anything you want it to do in the air. It controls more like a TIE Fighter than a Spitfire. It is practically impossible to stall a plane in Heroes Over Europe, and crashing only happens when you get shot down or point your plane directly at something hard like the ground.[/I]

Ok, now I know which game I will not buy. Even BF1943 has rudder controls and the flight physics there are far from convincing.

Even though it was fun to fly in BF1943
the flight physics were horrible!

I think HOE will do a lot better then that!
Its just for the easy player the "halo" audience.
You will never get the feel of a real pilot! wich i do get from il-2 combined with watching the series Dogfights!

HoE has rudder controls. The author was playing with the "idiot" control setting. There is also a professional setting.

And i'm picking up both. My favorite genre, my favorite time period. I'll take all I can get.

Oh, cool. Well, then I'll get that one as well. Somehow I need to justify the investment into the AV8R

[EDIT: Does anybody know if HoE will feature cockpit view?

I'm really confused about HoE now...

is it a gardening sim, pimp sim or Santa Sim (or would the latter be HoEHoE?)

Mario Kart of the sky? Being Italian it would be confusing which side to shoot at...( the losing one I guess

)

incoming accusations prejudice in 3,2,1....

I just recieved my GameStop News E-Mail that I subscribe to and noticed what may be a typo error. Here's a cut and paste of the text that pertains to Birds of Prey:

So, it looks as if this wasn't a typo error after all.
