"What If" Dogfights Become Real In Air Duel
Imagine taking on an F-16 Falcon in a World War I Sopwith Camel. Are
you so sure it would be no contest? Remember that the Sopwith Camel
would give off no radar signature, and the full-throttle jet would
have to rely on visual sighting. Now things get interesting_
That's the premise behind Air Duel, Micro-Prose's new dogfighting game
that lets you pit planes of different eras against each other in
scintillating battles that test your cunning in new, amazing ways. Air
Duel makes a great introductory combat flight simulator as well,
because it places a great deal more emphasis on fast action than on
the ultra-realism common to most simulations in the genre.
"Air Duel is designed for the flight simulation novice who wants to
learn the basics of dogfighting in a new, exciting, and challenging
way," said Product Manager Carl Knoch. "But it's also a fascinating
experience for even the most experienced simulation buffs."
Air Duel becomes even more exciting in its two-player (modem play)
mode. Now gamers can take on their friends in the aircraft of their
choice, in any of six different eras of aviation history: World War I,
World War II, Korea, Vietnam, The Falklands, and the Middle East.
Among the aircraft you can fly are the Sopwith Camel, the Spitfire,
the F-86, the F-4 Phantom, the Harrier Jump Jet, the F-16, the Fokker
DR1, and the MiG-23.
"The potential matchups aren't as lopsided as you would think," Carl
adds. "Planes from different eras each had different strengths,
including maneuverability, speed, or armament. Heat-seeking missiles,
for instance, do no good if they can't find the target.
"Air Duel is a simulation, but it's also suspends reality enough to
make for some memorable adventures. It's the ultimate 'what if' game
to a combat flight simulation fan and it doesn't waste time bogging
you down in the details a typical combat flight sim would find
essential."
