Slip on your anti-G suit and prepare for immediate take off.
Wargame AirLand Battle, the sequel to the explosive real-time strategy game, Wargame European Escalation, today unveils its Aircraft Trailer, which is entirely dedicated to the air forces available in the game.
This spectacular trailer gives us a real air show, with a few of the 150 aircraft of the game leading the dance. Cadenced with strafe-runs ,bombings, flaming engines and evasive maneuvers in a dogfight, this trailer offers a small glimpse at the many new strategic opportunities made possible thanks to the integration of air forces in the game. The video also lets us get a new glimpse at the new maps of Wargame AirLand Battle: more detailed, these showcase for the first time realistically rendered reliefs that will also have a significant impact on gameplay. Connoisseurs will easily recognize some of the aircraft leading the show in the video, such as the fearsome ground-attack aircraft Su-25 "Frogfoot", the multi-role fighter Mirage 2000C, the interceptor Mig-31 "Foxhound", or the A-4 "Skyhawk".
Of course, the aircraft making an appearance in today's video are only a small selection of those available in the game. With over 150 faithfully modeled aircraft (interceptors, ground attack planes, multi-role fighters, electronic warfare aircraft, etc.), the complete air forces from 12 countries complete the ground forces composed of nearly 600 combat units, with which commanders will be able to freely create their armies!
Something is certain... soon, the skies over Wargame's battlefields will be set ablaze.
Released in early 2012, Wargame: European Escalation by Eugen Systems managed to become the new benchmark in real-time strategy games, praised by critics and players alike. Wargame: AirLand Battle is about to bring the series to the next level as a full-fledged sequel!
Between 1975 and 1985, war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact is still raging, reaching Northern Europe, notably Scandinavia, whose architecture magnificent landscapes are faithfully recreated in the game. While the first Wargame made quite an impression with its powerful engine, Wargame: AirLand Battle is making a huge leap forward with its visuals, bringing a level of detail never before seen in a real-time strategy game. Flat relief and lack of variety is now a thing of the past, as the new version of the IRISZOOM Engine(tm) displays spectacular graphics, with a huge variety of units, scenery and impressive topography reproduced from satellite maps.
Command all the military resources of the Cold War era, from tanks to planes which make an outstanding entrance in the series! A total of 150 planes strengthen the playable arsenal of the game, from fighters to bombers to electronic warfare planes. Four new nations and their vehicles join the original eight from the first game, making a total of over 750 vehicles and combat units rendered in realistic detail with new textures! In Wargame: AirLand Battle, realism is also strengthened thanks to a new weapons system, better handling of fire and its effects, and a new Urban Combat Interface (UCI) allowing for battle inside cities block by block to take them over.
The solo part of the game is composed of several new dynamic campaigns, during which you will manage all aspects of the battle. Lead each squad of the Theatre of Operation, and make good use of your reinforcements and strategic support. Each decision you make has an impact on the tactical outcome of battles, and also impacts the evolution of the global conflict! Wargame: AirLand Battle still allows you to customize your own army in solo and multiplayer modes, thanks to the 'Deck' system, which is now being enhanced with an integrated 'viewer'.
