Apache:Air Assault


Mnemonic

Recommended Posts

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:

Give great feeling of being in combat.

Sweet game to fly between learning of A-10C :)

 

Besides it have TrackIR support!

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

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:

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

:( Pity...

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.

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.

I think Mnemonic put it well:

So I guess for a black shark player, it's very arcade..
