Both the planes and the backdrop are fairly authentic, but your fighter has unlimited fuel and ammo. As one of the first American pilots assigned to help the British, you’ll fly your way through Europe, North Africa and the Pacific in a long series of missions, including many of the historic air conflicts of WWII, like Dunkirk, the London Blitz, Pearl Harbor, and Guadalcanal.īlazing Angels falls somewhere between a hardcore flying sim like the classic Jane’s WWII Fighters and the arcade experience of Crimson Skies. The game obviously takes place during WWII. I also wasn’t prepared for the exciting multiplayer, bland campaign and absolutely maddening chatter. Of course, I never shot at anything in my Snoopy plane, so I wasn’t prepared for the “war” part. So when Blazing Angels: Squadrons of World War II began my training in the cockpit of a Gladiator biplane, it was not an entirely unfamiliar pleasure. With my foolish head sticking out of the top of a plane made of wood and canvas, I buzzed downtown Atlanta like Snoopy on his Sopwith Camel. It was an old Navy trainer, so it had two sets of controls, and once we were in the air he turned the yoke and throttle over to me.
My only experience behind the controls a of plane took place about a decade ago at an E3 event for the old PC game Red Baron II, in which a real pilot took me up in a classic Stearman biplane. Like most of you reading this, I’m not a pilot.
