Mnemonic Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) http://apachegame.ru/en# Yesterday is out for PC. Tried it and get blasted away :) Nice helicopter combat game in good-old fashion. Reminds me of HIND, Comanche 3, Enemy Engaged, and Gunship. But made with usage of modern technology, not the total arcadish stuff like HAWX. Here's an interview with Ad Macy, who helped in game creation: http://www.looki.de/apache_air_assault_unser_exklusives_video_interview_mit_ed_macy_n84300.html Give great feeling of being in combat. Sweet game to fly between learning of A-10C :) Besides it have TrackIR support! Edited November 20, 2010 by Mnemonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaman Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Comanche 3 is so far the best arcade helicopter sim I have ever played. If this one is at least so interesting then I am hooked :) I will try it ASAP. EDIT: Hey, it is not available. It says PRE-PURCHASE for PC :o sniff, I have just came back to work and read news on the mobile from you. I though, OMG I am going to have so much fun once I get my free time :P Edited November 20, 2010 by Shaman 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonic Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Comanche 3 is so far the best arcade helicopter sim I have ever played. If this one is at least so interesting then I am hooked :) I will try it ASAP. I tell you man, I still have Commanche 3 on my old PC, and I found Apache Air Assault is in many ways the same. Give it a try, I think you will not regret. Just jumped out from one of the missions to take a break. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonic Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Here are few in-game shots from me. I'm playing from in-cockpit view, but made a few screens from the external camera to show the aircraft. Also, you start on LZ, and almost in any mission for successful ending you need to land choppa on LZ. Edited November 20, 2010 by Mnemonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaman Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 How did you get your hands on this game? I see only pre-purchase options. I even went to STEAM to search its store - NOTHING! 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinro Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm wondering how the sim works. The pilot of the Apache flies the craft, and the gunner shoots. So in the game, as the pilot do you just fly around and let an AI gunner shoot stuff, or do you play as a gunner and shoot stuff while an AI pilot flies you around?

You can switch places in the Apache, so while you a pilot, AI gunner can aim and shoot gun in nearby enemies, you can also give him a command to designate target for Hellfire shooting for example. Also vice-versa when you switch to gunner - you still can control the aircraft by your stick, and AI "pilot" is available to use a gun turret if you don't use it at the moment. When you look at the optics or FLIR, your Apache continue to move as you left it, I prefer to make it hover before go to FLIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topol-m Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hmm does anybody else find the terrain, trees, cities to be very good looking? At least I`m left with that impression after watching the trailer. BTW Gaijin Entertainment are the guys that made Wings of Prey and that game had absolutely gorgeous terrain. I wish the DCS series had it too but... Still hoping that will change in the next DCS module.

EagleEye Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thx for the pics Mnemonic! I follow it since first anouncement. One dev wrote on official forum that shared cockpit (human pilot, human gunner) via MP is not available for PC. Only split screen on consoles. What happen if you crash into a tree?

You actually crash, this was a surprise for me after BS. If you touch a tree with rotor - you can break rotor, or tail, but if you will fly into tree on full speed you will explode :) Trees also burn and fall if you will shoot at them, looks nice. Oh, also if you shoot in the rock with hydras - small stones break out of the rock-wall and fall down with physics, looks spectacular actually. :shocking: Mnemonic has 2000 post and 1000 rep.

FZG_Kes Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Is that close to a simulation or not at all ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 131st VFS 'Death Vipers' - Sitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonic Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Is that close to a simulation or not at all ? I think it's enough words said before :) It's as close to simulation as Commanche 3. But it give pretty good impression of being in cockpit of AH-64 in the middle of extensive battlefield. On official Apache AA forum, someone said: "For DCS, AAA is very arcadish, but for any XBox game it's very DCS". I must say it's also good game for PC, to relax from hardcore simming. BTW looks like Apache pilots from Afghanistan play it too, but on XBoxes. Edited November 21, 2010 by Mnemonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus_G Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 A heli sim - that's a better choice for this game engine. It looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topol-m Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Don`t know how mod-friendly this game is but if something can be done towards more realistic simulation it will be great. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element1108 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 It looks alright for what it is, entertaining that's for sure. These types of games back jn the 90's are what made me want to get into flight sims. Looks like a helicopter version of wings of prey, fun can be had and you're not any less of a flight sim enthusiast for enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say it's also good game for PC, to relax from hardcore simming. BTW looks like Apache pilots from Afghanistan play it too, but on XBoxes. So I guess for a black shark player, it's very arcade.. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
