Captain_Thunder Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Been ages since I've tried a flight sim of any kind. Don't have a console game player so unless the come out with a PC version I'm out of luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Nice one! I think I'll be buying this for my Xbox 360 when it comes out. Duelling Zeroes in the Brewster Buffalo looks "fun" :eek2:The official videos and site can be found here: http://www.birdsofsteel.com/en/media/video/ Edited February 19, 2012 by Panzer_Leader Correction 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duelling Zeroes in the Brewster Buffalo looks "fun" :eek2:Fitting(?) on the 70th anniversary of the first bombing raid on Darwin.And of course the recent anniversary of the fall of Singapore where the Buffalos were the main defence of Malaya and the island itself.

Unfortunately it's a bit light on the air campaign but the Buffalos and Hurricanes flown by Commonwealth pilots over Malaya and Singapore certainly met their match in the Zero. What's interesting is that the Buffalo was the fighter of choice for Finnish aces against the Soviets until the introduction of the Bf 109G in 1943 and the Buffalo saw front line service with them until 1944! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
