Fair Strike
Global fight against drug cartels and terrorism, although not very original idea for a computer game, but if it does, as in the case of the Russian team, G5 Software add advanced helicopters, we get quite an interesting combination. Helicopter simulation in the world are not many, we can hardly count on the fingers of one hand. In my memory sticks still unbeaten Gunship2000 Jane’s Longbow Gold Commanche probably the best known. Developers of the G5 embarked on a relatively unknown waters. However, the project looked promising, so there was no problem to take the production editorial company Buka Entertainment. Let us now look at the outcome of their efforts in more detail.
The game is focusing its action simulator, and as I indicated, expect the fight against global terrorism. In October last year, I accidentally fell into the hand beta, which until a few bugs and unfinished look very eye catching. The more I was curious how the authors dopilovali game and how it will look like the final version. Installation was smooth and has grown over the beta version of the 2CD. Immediately after starting the game do not stay in doubt focus on the action, because options are a full-fledged simulator too poor. Game modes is quite low, because we have only the campaign and multiplayer. Single Missions or similar mode is not represented here. Fair fighting arsenal includes a total of 6 helicopters strike. They are not limited to countries that possesses them. With this you get to the piloting of the most important representatives: the AH-64A “Apache, RAH-66″ Comanche, PAH-2 Tiger, Ka-50 “Hoke”, Ka-52 “Alligator, Ka-58″ Black Host. For a complete list, I miss the pilotovatelných machines might just Mi24 and American Cobra.
The campaign takes place in four different locations. Will fly to the Caribbean, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. Total awaits you on 38 missions with a variety of topics. Although a variety of tasks in total, we can say that most of them have the basic building block in action “search and destroy”. You dispose of enemy ground troops, convoys of weapons, rescuing hostages, to make filling the strategic points and many other tasks. Each mission preceded by a detailed briefing to learn basic information about your goals and seen the animated his record. Then follows a selection of machines, equipment. Who would not enough, you can choose your machine to some other camouflage schemes prepared.
The actual selection is initially limited to helicopters and other equipment are made available to you during the game. The Fair Strikezačátku must be satisfied only with the Kamov 50 and AH-64 “Apache”. You can choose the equipment, but the default setting is adequate in most cases. If you have these steps in themselves, have no choice but to plunge into the Spotlight. Usually you’re all alone, but you get the engine to the wing, which will help you (may be up to 3). That’s where you can wait more helicopters and transport if you require a refill of the mission. Here are the available Ka-60 “Kasatka” and his U.S. counterpart, the UH-60 “Blackhawk”. Wingman / s can be controlled using simple commands: follow me, attacked my goal, intelligence / Explain expense přezbroj / Fill up, get back to base.
Artificial intelligence is not bad fellows, but you will find a few drawbacks. The wingman attack it recklessly forward and playing a lot of coverage for off-road obstacles. Most significant weakness is its slow turnover in dementia. Several times it happened to me, I kept hanging up the machine and carried out by the tail rotor sharp turn, and my dear wingman knew nothing better than to take me taran. The result was immediate, because the ejection was neither height nor time. At high speed and unexpected maneuvers I understand it, but this? Russia does not deny the flying school, they should only AI pilots realize that the cost price of a helicopter is somewhat else than wooden structures Fair strike aircraft in the second World War II, he was almost Taran standard maneuver.
The game offers a double flight model: action and realistic. In the arcade you have a concept of federated and automated some of the controls, while in simulator mode, everything is nice on you. In particular, a control group, a turbine engine speed control lever and cyclic control. Even so, they certainly do not expect ultra-realistic simulator. Behaviour of machines in flight is a simplified physical model corresponds to the concept of action in each case is the same for both settings of reality.
