Wings Over Vietnam Game Review: Wings Over Vietnam is a combat flight simulator PC game set during the Vietnam War over South East Asia & covers the time period of 9 years that is, 1964 to 1973. Wings Over Vietnam includes a wide variety of jets & weapons which can be employed in several mission types such as MIG-CAP, strike, Iron Hand, air support, & reconnaissance. The game is based on the Strike Fighters: Project 1 engine. Third Wire Productions developed the game. A vastly enhanced & rewritten version for the Vista platform called Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam was released in 2009.
Wings Over Vietnam Background: Wings Over Vietnam was released in the year 2004 and was the 3rd in a series of "Lite" Flight Simulators. The term Lite has applied because they are designed to be relatively easy to learn & play compared to other more hardcore flight simulator types.
Wings Over Vietnam GamePlay: In Wings Over Vietnam ,1960s style bombsights are simulated rather than modern computer aided aiming reticules. Level bombing and Dive bombing techniques must worked out by the game player if they are to have success at completing missions. In the game, US Air to Air missiles consist of early versions of the AIM-7 Sparrow, AIM-9 Sidewinder, & AIM-4 Falcon which are simulated to be as unreliable as the real missiles were. Just like the real accounts from the war suggest some of the dogfights are close in affairs with the nimble MiGs against the heavier less nimble US Aircraft. Wings Over Vietnam's map has been scaled down slightly so that there is less time spent flying to a target, & also because air to air refueling is not included in the game. The player will be flying in a flight of aircraft during the mission, at that time, the computer-controlled planes keep in formation as the player fly to a target. This flight can issue commands; attack ground targets or other aircraft, fly home if they jettison their drop tanks or are damaged. As the player fly, many other computer-controlled aircraft will be up in the air & can be viewed as they engage in dogfights or bomb targets.
