Not only a game, but a simulator.

Recommended Posts

I have just installed WoV Series 1 after putting together my new PC.

 

ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe

Core i5 3570K@stock speed

Corsair Denominator Platinum 2X4GB DDR3@1066MHz

Intel 520 SSD 180GB

Windows 7 Ultimate (64bits)

 

First impression, I love this sim! I watched Dogfights on the History Channel and found similarities in the both graphics department. And I just wonder while I enjoy the eye-candies that this simulator offers, how close is the flight model compared to their counterparts in the real world?

 

Say if I can fly and beat a MiG-21, is that the same that I can fly the real jet and shoot down a MiG-21 by guns?

No.

 

The control is extremely simplified. As such, it is not a good idea to apply to the air force with skill in this game as the only merit.

You have to remember you are not experiencing G forces which would have a great effect on your controls as well as the enemy pilot AI may not reflect real world training or conditions.Playing with the hard setting will give you a closer experience to the real thing but still not same as.:

The rivet counters are those who almost killed the genre.

 

On hard settings sf is quite realistic in fm, weapons department
