Lock On vs. Wings over Israel !?

[oded]

I am a relative newbie in combat sims and just bought a decent machine that can easily run these games.

 

what are the main differences between the two sims (Lock on vs. WOI) ? which one have a better gameplay ?

 

Thanks, Oded.

 

BTW, I am from Israel. does it suppose to matter ? (-:

I'll give it to you thumbnail:

 

LOMAC

 

1. Detailed systems modeling

2. Great terrain

3. Awesome multiplayer

4. No dynamic campaign

5. Modding is relatively limited

6. Can choke even modern computers with all the bells and whistles on

 

Wings Over Israel

 

1. Simplified systems modeling

2. Terrain is okay (some 3rd party addons can adjust this)

3. Very limited multiplayer

4. Dynamic campaign

5. Very moddable...if you can think it, it's probably being worked on or already exists

6. Easier to run well on modern systems

 

They really are two very different simulators, and are hard to compare because each one provides such a different experience.

 

I'd get both...they are not that expensive.

Thanks for the info'

 

I followed your advice and got both sims. I admit I play WOI more for now, I guess it's a combination of a more friendly gameplay + me being an Israely...
