For multiplayer aerial combat nothing beats [Url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/15320/]IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946.[/Url]
I dunno who's server I joined, I had a coat of arms that was black and blue, with a square in the middle. I am totally balls at this game lol.
If anybody wants, I can set up a dedicated server.
Apparently, when I host, people can join. So there's a game up now.

Yes. I still wonder why I had black vehicles.
By the way, others probably can't see your servers because of you being blocked by some sort of firewall or NAT. Only people with relatively unblocked straightforward connection to internet are able to host server like this.

Wow. I started a game for myself and just toyed around with trading and shit, and then decided to make a small bombing run. I hopped on a bomber, loaded a tall boy, and went to bomb some shit.
I destroyed otherwise undamaged enemy capitol with single tallboy.
There should be many things like this rebalanced. The game idea is genius, but it needs a lot of rebalancing and some details here and there.
Seems fun, but I have a strange orange overlay over all the terrain in my game, any idea why?

^ twat
Can anyone host yet? I'd love some tactical fighting over this :D
Orange horizon and any other weird graphical glitches are mainly due to resolution size. Fiddle around till you find one that works.
Also, to the guy that said the game is unbalanced, it isn't really. Seeing as you were probably not against anyone, you made it safely. But bombing runs are dangerous. Using after burner severely uses up your fuel, so in a dog fight, you're fucked. All you can do is either drop your bomb and flee, or carry on and end up being shot down.
Also, the only thing unbalanced is the AI (bots). Their aiming is insane. They can one shot you from miles away.
This game deserves a lot more attention from the public, they recently updated it a bit, and I have to say that it has become quite awesome.
There are now more weapons and research, there is also trading, which I don't quite know how it works.
These vehicles are now playable:
[B]The cargo boat:[/B] I don't quite know what it does, but it's for ramming stuff I think.
[B]The cargo plane:[/B] Like the boat, designed for ramming, both are quite cheap, so suicide runs don't cost lots of money.
[B]The gun boat:[/B] You can now choose if you want to outfit your gunboat with two cannons or two guns or one of each.
[B]The missile boat:[/B] You can pick either 4 x 64KG missiles, or no missiles at all, and is outfitted with a cannon by standard.
[B]The fighter plane:[/B] The fighter can use the regular 1 x 56KG bomb, but can also use a "droptank" which is a larger fuel tank which you can drop, if in a bad situation. You can also give it one 64KG missile, which is a bigger blast than the bomb, but is harder to aim. It comes armed with a regular machine gun.
[B]The bomber:[/B] The bomber is a real piece of art, you can mount it with either 4 x 56KG bombs, a drop tank, or the big mother of bombs, the tall boy, a 192KG tactical nuke. You can press 1 to go to regular flight mode, or 2 to go to bomb aiming mode. I advise to use the autopilot, since this is the only way not to let your plane sink while aiming a bomb.
[B]The attack:[/B] the bastard child of the fighter and bomber, it is like a flying fortress, although I don't like it as much as the bomber. It comes mounted with a cannon. You can mount it with either a 1 x 56KG bomb, a droptank, or 2 x 64KG missiles.
[B]The missile ship:[/B] Yes, there is a difference between a boat and a ship, because this is like comparing a rubber boat to an oil tanker. This mean motherfucker can either mount 16 x 64KG missiles(!), or 4 x 256KG 'Peacemakers', the peacemakers are like big brothers of the tall boy, and you get four of them. It also comes mounted with a cannon for giving fire support. This big bastard can't really fight on it's own, so you'll probably want to take someone of your team with you to protect it, while it delivers it's massive payload.
There is a four teams mode, but I haven't tried it.
This game needs more players because it deserves it. It really does.
The cargo boat's for trading. You can spend your team's money on buying wares you sell for profit at some other island. Basically a non-violent way of helping your team.
Is there another new version out? I've never seen that missile ship or the attack or something.
Also yeah this game needs way more players than it's getting right now.
The game needs more optimization, that's what it needs.
Good bump. gotta check it out again.
It has undergone serious updatage, so yeah, you should get a new version. By the way, I'm a black and red skull in-game.
new units?
damn i just stated aurora for the first time.
too bad noone is hosting anymore.
We need at least one person who can host.
