and I even noticed that, in the heat of the dogfight, I didn't really care that I couldn't see the individual control surfaces on the airplanes move. I just thought, even as I was trying to stick close to the violently evading P-47, Wow! What an awesome game! WW2F doesn't come close to giving this sense of 'realism' and total chaos that was the air war over occupied Europe. As I was turning with a P-47, trying to pull lead for a shot, all at once on my screen I could see the beautiful sky and terrain (with plowed fields, roads, and towns) wheeling about, with the bombers surrounded by flack and trailing smoke and contrails below me, with innumerable fighters from both sides zipping in and out of the formation, tracers flying everywhere, smoking holes in the ground from downed planes. I was flying a mission for the Luftwaffe last night in EAW, a bomber intercept (what else?!)in a 190A-4 during the '43 campaign.

Luftwaffe + Fw190 = Bomber Intercept), at least the game is still progressing, the war is continuing, and kills are being added to your score.Īlso, even eith the numerous mods, the terrain in WW2F seems dull and lifeless compared to some of the wonderful mods I've seen in EAW (in my case, Paul Wilson's summer terrain). Even though EAW missions can get repetitive and boring (i.e.
I love the EAW carrer system, where you sign up with one unit to fly one specific aircraft, which is the way it should be - NOT the 'this mission you're in a Bf109, next mission you're in a Fw190, next mission the Me262, next back to the Bf109' style of WW2F, where there is absolutley no sense of continuity, even though the missions are supposed to be progressive. I, for one, am quickly learning to hate canned missions and the lack of a real campaign. In WW2F, all of the missions are 'canned,' and it gets unbelievably frustrating and boring flying the same pre-scripted missions over and over (and getting shot down over and over by the same enemies - the AI in WW2F is amazing!). ).īut where WW2F fails, and EAW so brilliantly succeeds, is in the immersion department.

For me, the look of the plane I'm flying in does much to enhance my enjoyment of the sim, and for that reason alone, I am willing to keep giving WW2F a try (and the poor Dora mod in EAW drives me NUTS! Why the developers thought it was a side-by-side two-seater is beyond me. yet, I find myself coming back to EAW for a couple of reasons.įirst off, in the graphics department, WW2F wins hands-down, especially when it comes to external and cockpit views of the flyable aircraft. I just recently purchased WW2F, mainly because of the mod work I've seen guys in that community doing, and in particular because of a Dora Nine mod that quite simply has to be seen to be believed. SSo, while EAW does have it's problems, if you send a significant ammount of time playing WWII Fighters (which I have) you will see that it has quite an arcade game feel after awhile compared to EAW. In EAW, this is damn near impossible to line that shot up. It's not uncommon to get kills by coming in at a guys 9 or 10 o'clock. Another thing about the guns is that it is too easy to get a kill with high 'Angle off Tail' shots. wingspan is going to be hard to see at 2500, let alone be able to hit it with a bullet. I don't know about you, but a plane with a 30-40 ft. Shooting in WWII Fighters is probably the worst part of the game. WWII Fighters it's easier to keep your E up.ģ. You start heavy turns and you're going to bleed off alot of speed that's hard to get back. Another thing that I have noticed is that EAW provides better energy management.
Only FM5 will give you a couple of snap rolls if you try hard turns at low speed. Some things that I have noticed that make a huge difference are spins. The FM in EAW is SO much better than WWII Fighters. (I don't know if you are aware of this, but the WWII Fighters community is strictly against mods for the game, if you're flying online.)Ģ.

All of the mods that you can download and pretty much change the entire game. Basically, this is for a couple of reasons. Having been playing WWII Fighters for the past 2.5 years (and just recently getting into playing EAW again), I believe that EAW provides a better flight experience.
