And just LOOK at the way that water is rendered. If splashes from downed planes are realistic, I'll make an effort to lure people over water just to see them go down haha.
It looks amazing but...
I'd like to see the Vietnam War, and its original.
haha. Storm Of War. That's right up there with Duke Nukem Forever.
I'd like to see the Vietnam War, Korean War, or something relatively contemporary.
What are you gonna do there with aircraft... drop napalm? Sounds fun...
It looks amazing but...
Another European air war sim? Really? There are several iterations of the European air war.
Let's hope it finishes development some time in the near future...

I have been waiting and waiting for Jet Thunder to come out because its going to be kick ass and its original.
