European Air War - Luftwaffe Campaign Mission - Bomber Intercept

Another mission in Me-262 from European Air War. This time we will be intercepting B-24 raid escorted by Mustangs. Might not be a milk run like last time...

The scale of the air battles in EAW was epic and way ahead of it's day. Heck, even today, you can't get air battles that big except maybe in IL-2 1946, maybe. This is the most underrated combat flight sim in the history of man.

[@NasaChannel-jk8di]

mi cr o p rose good

[@PauloPereira-jj4jv]

Not underrated. Just forgotten. People today prefer better graphics, no matter how good the old games are.

[@NasaChannel-jk8di]

@@PauloPereira-jj4jv please tell me old title that still good . i just want to play it

[@Mokimanify]

in BOB2 you can have over 100 in combat.

[@carstars1181]

When you consider that this game is 24 years old, wow, just wow.

[@dingdong1456]

And it looks like that 😅 I don't mean it's bad, bad it sure does look its age. The cockpit is even 2D.

[@kewkabe]

If you follow those damaged bombers like at 21:40, they eventually crash-land and little people run out.

[@RamaDolman]

This game had the best voice / Audio… made it feel so real, don’t think a game has had it since tbh

I spent days of my life over Europe on a 17“ crt. Still a great flight sim experience no matter how old.

[@MrWilhelm76]

omg i was addicted to this game. Defended my country zillion times from terror bombers.

[@briancross7835]

My (then) girlfriend bought me this game & a stick / pedal control set for Xmas 1999. Such an incredible game, especially for the time. Unfortunately, our relationship didn't last. Something about me playing WWII flight sims on my PC too much... 🤔

[@damsonn]

Was about to write what a cool girl you have, then read the rest... I guess that's the testament what a great game it was. Any regrets? Was it worth it?

[@briancross7835]

@@damsonn Yes. I've actually thought of her often over the years. She's the one that got away.

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

This game looks great for a sim from the 90s! There is something charming about these old games.

[@fastica]

They were made with passion.

[@biloxi9761]

this was my go to game. i loved everything about this and have not found any game close to it

[@normannobrot]

The briefing reminds me of panzer elite. It's moments like this that games miss these days. Adds to the experience.

I'm sitting on a couch in Ulm and watch this Video.

[@sparky191]

Awesome game. Just captured the era just right

[@marios.5043]

My God that was an epic Game!

[@MegaTranquilla]

What I always find weird is how those games got AI fighter behavior right (they attack from all angles and make fast passes) while in IL2 you'll see fighters attacking from the rear and getting hammered by .50 cal

[@nightshade4186]

Just have a look Il2 Devs, that's how menus have to be designed.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

This was such a good game. Used to play it on a 233Mhz AMD K6, 32mb RAM and a 2mb S2 Trio video card. Think it ran at about 15-25fps at 640x480.

[@raymondyee2008]

Ah yes the use of R4Ms on the ME-262. Pity when I played “B-17 Flying Fortress The Mighty 8th” they had no 262s or even the rocket attacks by FW-190s (would have been hell for B-17 crews).

[@paulsaunders6536]

Tremendous sim. I recall how awestruck I was at the time by the graphics. Just re-purchased it via GoG. Once you get the screen proportions and resolution sorted out it’s nice to apply anti aliasing to get rid of the jaggies. Spent many, many hours on this sim. Although I do struggle with 2 D flight simming now, having been spoilt by VR.

[@Detdriterveljegi]

For 98 this looks absolutely incredible

[@jasonvega9942]

i wish they could remaster this with higher resolution. like tiny combat arena

graty za zelazny krzyz, kapitalna gra i letsplay

[@Ostatnizlol]

Jak Luftwaffe naprawdę odpierało te bombowce? Próbowało natarcia od przodu? Boku? Od tyłu chyba nie jak te b-24 miały tyle karabinów z tyłu? Nie mogę nigdzie znaleźć informacji na ten temat, dzięki i pozdrawiam, dobre latanie

[@paulsaunders6536]

Unfortunately not.

That volley of rockets. #thefeels

[@raymondyee2008]

Ah yes the rockets are only good against B-17s and B-24s. They’re useless against Mosquito bombers.

God, I loved that game! Still miss it. Fukn Microsoft made it so you couldn’t play it on their pc’s and instead made a crappy version of CFS.

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

I had this game 😁

[@GaddisGaming]

I would love to see a graphics update for this game

[@daan14l37]

Why do you keep breaking out after one kill?

[@joedapro7236]

Dug this game out of storage, have not played in many years. Other than joystick controls, what are the commends I can use from the keyboard? Would luv to get back into this great game!

[@damsonn]

Go into options and controls, all are listed there, you can also rebind them if you like.

[@larrypacman8511]

Great ! On an actual PC how does it work . A mistery

[@Chtulhu_Mustermann]

Good news! It is released on Grand Old Games / GOG! Hope you read the comment and find joy! Just bought it myself, everything works fine so far, I'll try spread the news on Yt a bit. Finally GOG did it, the wishlist was worth the effort after all!

Playing the 1940 campaign flying a Hurricane yet when I shot down a bomber the game failed to credit me with a kill. Why is that? I witnessed the He 111 plunge into the ground in flames. There were no other planes around firing on the He 111 at the time. It had though been damaged by another plane and hence dropped out of formation.

[@anonymousrebellion]

Did you fully destroy both he111’s engines? Cuz that would technically count as a kill. Also clipping wings, destroying tails and pilot sniping can count as kills. And wait. How do you know that you weren’t credited for the kill? Does it show on the battle results?

[@rayhoffmann9040]

@@anonymousrebellion it does give you a somewhat detailed log with your kills for every mission. I feel like someone else may have had the last bullet on that one.

[@Kamilohbk]

Imagine not lowering your speed for landing .. shame

[@PauloPereira-jj4jv]

The player don't know how to fly properly a 262. I'm still amazed that he didn't stall. Really bad player.
