LOWOS Review

[DCS_moldy]

Finished the campaign and wanted to share my thoughts. Overall, a really fun campaign and I think both this and FIWOS are must-haves for Viper pilots interested in single player campaigns.

Missions in LOWOS are consistently fun and intense. I did find flight times could be long, but optional conversations help pass some of the time and if it's something that bothers you, you can always fast forward through these sections. The "Weasel System" helps make gameplay dynamic, moreso than most singleplayer experiences, and works really well combined with the ability to have your wingman engage targets. I found missions to have good variety, with a change of pace mission popping up every time things were in danger of becoming stale.

I would definitely recommend picking up FIWOS first, as it has a good ramp up to introduce you to fighting SAMs. If you've already played FIWOS then you should know what to expect and should have a good idea of if you'll like the campaign.
