Good Helicopter Shooter with a Believable Flight Model! [Posted on 2006-12-06]
Think "Desert Strike" in first person with a good flight model and great graphics;).
In a time of no hardcore helicopter sims recently released,this is a very good helicopter shoot'em up with a good flight model(in the games normal realistic mode) but has simplified weapons systems for getting into action quicker,though the 30mm cannon doesn't lock-on(unlike its sequel game) and uses the mouse ..and the rockets are purely manual as well and require some skill.
Skilled BF,BFV,BF2 Pilots will be right at home with this one..But if you can't handle the flight model in those games you probably won't enjoy this one either..(for those individuals I'd recommend Comanche 4).
Hardcore sim fans can still have some fun here until another hardcore helicopter sim comes out! ..maybe Lomac Black Shark! ;).
But this game is very much worth the few dollars you'd pay for it these days.
PS: the Manual and Command List for this game can be found in the games Main Directory. If you like this Also check out the games sequel "Apache Longbow Assault" though a bit harder to find and the gameplay is about the same.
A programmable joystick is recommended for both!
