## Description
_European Air War_ is an action based flight-sim which features 20 flyable
aircraft: On the American side, P-51 (B, D), P-38 (H, J), P47 (C, D); For the
RAF, the Spitfire (I-A, IX-C, XIV-E), Hurricane (I), Typhoon (IB), and Tempest
(V); and for the Luftwaffe, the Bf-109 (E-4, G-6, K-4), Bf-110 (G-2, C-4),
FW-190 (D-9, A-8), and Me262 (A1). Also, the game features several non-flyable
aircraft: B-17 (F, G), B-24, B-26, Mosquito, Ju-88, He-111, Ju-87 Stuka, and
Me410!
The game is meticulously detailed. The physics of flying are accurately
modeled, the markings on the planes are historically accurate, and the map
takes into account the curvature of the earth.
Your wingmen speak German if you fly for the Luftwaffe, and speak with an
English or American accent if you fly for the RAF or US. When you play a
“career”, the choices of units to fly in are actual historical units and you
will attack the same targets they attacked. Your unit will even refit with new
types of aircraft when they did historically (P-51B to P-51D, for example)!
The game is highly customizable. You can turn on or off: wind, stalls, the
torque effect on single-engine planes, black/red out, engine overheating,
structural limits, mid air collision, etc.
You can attack tanks, trains carrying guns and tanks, ships (freighters and
destroyers!), halftrack/car convoys, and lots of other types of ground
targets. Pretty much everything can shoot back.
It also features several newsreels that show familiar black & white footage
from WWII documentaries, complete with narration.
