Jane's Combat Simulations paved the way

WWII fighters, my first love <3

Posted

I can still remember this one. I hyped it in my head for months. Ran terrible on my P200 with Voodoo Banshee. All in all i was super disappoint in it. Specially compared to Longbow 2 from Jane's. Played a lot off European Air War instead. Which had more content and a very decent career mode. For me more of tech demo for new graphics and damage models then a real game.

I remember one thing especially in WWII Fighters.

 

 

Those roe deers that you could find sometimes running in the fields.

 

You could kill them with machine guns/canons...

But you could drop two 1000lb bombs directly on them, they continued to run like "no f*ck given bro" :D

WWII Fighters was utter crap - European Air War was superior by leaps and bounds.

EAW was amazing for its time. Dynamix AOE/AOP was great, 2.

 

My 1st obsession that started it all was the Red Baron, tho...then MP Falcon, LB2 was super awesome, 2

WWII Fighters lasted all of a day on my hard drive before I uninstalled it in disgust and went back to EAW.

 

Janes F-15 was a good time, so they did some good things. WWII Fighters wasn't one of them.

Doesn't matter to me if it was terrible or not - it was my first flight sim. 

Loved it!

You just didn't know any better.  :P

WWII Fighters was released a month after the vastly superior European Air War.

...and I'm just giving you a hard time.

I completely get the first flight sim thing.

It was the first flight sim I flew online.  It wasn't the best, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.  I miss Jane's overall though.  USNF, IAF, ATF, F-15E, etc...
