Sports reviews of Vietnam Attack PackCustomer Review: Best Vietnam combat flight simulator ever made Sport shop rating: 5 StarsI don't actually have Elite Warriors, but I do have Wings Over Vietnam. It was the second of a series of combat flight sims based on the same core engine with an architecture very open to user modifications. The series is intended to provide a modern equivalent to Jane's Fighters Anthology via its fun gameplay and a large variety of flyable aircraft. The aircraft, weapons, and terrains are interchangeable between the various games in the series, which currently includes: the original Strike Fighters Project 1, its European market refresh Strike Fighters Gold, Wings Over Vietnam, Wings Over Europe, and First Eagles.
Over the years, countless user addons have been created. Addons available include hundreds of aircraft, several terrains, weapons, and much more. Most of the addons are completely free to download. Someone new to this series will be overwhelmed by all of the options availble. Instead of trying to download the many addons to enhance the realism and detail of Wings Over Vietnam, you can buy the payware addon Yankee Air Pirates. This addon provides a collection of detailed historical missions that incorporates many of the available addons as well as having a few aircraft only available by purchasing this addon.
Each time a new game is released, patches are released to bring the other games up to the same core engine version level so that any features added to the new game are available in the older games. For example, Wings Over Vietnam added aircraft carrier operations and Wings Over Europe added 3d clouds, now both of those features are possible in a fully patched installation of Strike Fighters Project 1 which originally had neither of those features.
So, besides being fun and fairly realistic, this sim series has the advantage of expanding every year with the full support of the original developer and a devoted group of modders. The latest release, First Eagles, officially expanded this sim series into WWI biplanes. User addons cover WW2 and Korea since the rest of the games focus on jets from the 1960s and 1970s.
There is simply no better sim for recreating Vietnam air combat, and no better combat flight sim series covering aircraft from WWI to the present.
