Heroes of the Pacific

I want this game. I have not seen a decent looking WWII aviation game since IL 2 Sturmovik and even then I felt the game was lacking.

I’ve always been a fan of aviation games, especially WWII-era ones. That was the real time of the ace and the beginning of the end of a certain breed of pilot. Advances in radar and missile technology were made soon after and dogfighting soon became a point-and-shoot arcade type game. Don’t get me wrong, I think that fighter pilots still have a very tough job it’s just that something has changed and it’s not the same as seeing a P-51 pilot step out of his plane with his brown flight jacket and aviator sunglasses.

Back to the game… I really hope it runs on my machine but I doubt it will. It really is time for an upgrade.
