I'm so happy you ended up talking about Apache Air Assault! You Said the game was arcade-y, however, if you wish to, there was a difficulty setting that allowed you to have advanced controls, and these felt very similar to War thunder's system, and allowed you to do some funky stuff. Aside from the campagn, there was also a bunch of side missions that felt very unique. The very first one gave you an Apache that had no hellfires, and you had to destroy a tank collumn before it reached an ennemy base. Man that game was dope, even thought it was very straight forward. I'm feeling nostalgic now lol

As I reflect on my experience of growing up playing Birds of Steel and witnessing its evolution into War Thunder, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at how far it has come. It's almost as if I have watched a child grow up before my very eyes, witnessing their journey from innocence to maturity, and it is truly a beautiful thing to behold.

Бумер (Bumer/Bimmer) I got by exchanging games back when I was still in early middle school (haven't beaten one of the car shootout parts and gave up). Adrenalin: Extreme Show was a must-play game for a kid who loved Flat Out , spent hundreds of hours in it. (I had to sneak this in without the knowledge of my parents because of the "hot babes" in the racing game) Most of these I at least heard of or "trial" versions were provided with tech and gaming magazines back when those were still a thing. Ил-2 Штурмовик (or Wings of Prey in some markets) was a hit of the hits and was the catapult they needed to go big ty for bringing back the nostalgia

I was waiting for you to mention wings of prey. So I used to play that a long freaking time ago, and I wish I could find the screenshot I had because you'd get a giggle from it. But during War Thunder's earliest alpha, if you had that funky account that wings of prey used you could get into it. Early war thunder's golden eagles were called Yums, which I thought was the funniest thing ever. Anyway, I forget what the hell you got for being in the early alpha, but you did get some special funny planes, that I'm 95% sure are removed from the game.

To answer your question, the Mq8b is a drone helicopter based off the schweizer 330 and 333 and was used by the US navy until retirement in 2022, it is currently being replaced by the MQ8c, which is based on the bell 407

God I played the hell out of Il 2 Sturmovik on Xbox 360 (good game but a fair few problems) But Birds of Steel OH MAN Birds of Steel Only counting console games, there is maybe NO GAME I played more as a kid than Birds of Steel. Probably my first real war-based video game (unless you count Lego Star Wars). I vividly remember playing those missions, ones like "The Two Against 39" or "To Scratch One Flattop" as a kid and almost feeling like I was there. I wasnt just playing a video game. I was defending my brothers on Wake Island, and even tho I knew the history well, desperately hoping that USS Enterprise (CV-6) would mount that horizon and save us. I unlocked every. single. thing. in that game. And as far as the main American campaign goes, I beat it in a matter of...... 4 days? Maybe 5? When I started playing War Thunder I had NO idea they were made by the same company until the snail stared me dead in the eyes and the music brought me back to being the first American pilot to go toe to toe with the Japanese over Pearl Harbour, or fighting my way through clouds of Zero's to deliver Hiryou her final fate.

Great video. I appreciate the time and effort it took to create this video. Congrats ! I'm glad to see Wings of Prey and Apache Air Assault on the list. I loved those games however was so very frustrating trying to connect to their servers on Wings of Prey. So many bugs in the systems, terrible server connection if you could get one. But the game was visually stunning and so many missions to fly. I believe if they re-released it and made a better host/client connection it would be popular. Apache Air Assault was also fun and thermal view of the insurgents on the ground was so realistic looking. I only wished they had a multiplayer component. I'm referring to the PC versions with a server and a host. Too bad there was not another option to connect to a server instead of the Yuplay servers which are long gone.

It's neat seeing someone talk about the old IL2 and Birds of Steel console games. I still own both copies I had for my xbox, though heck if I know if they run. IIRC You'd unlock the planes for multiplayer by doing certain things in the campaign in IL2, and by Birds of Steel they had the really really early warthunder tech-tree

A video on the history of warthunder updates would be interesting to see.

I remember playing IL-2 Sturmovik in my xbox 360 with my cousin around 10 years ago, i remember it had a player versus player split screen mode and ot was one of the best things i remember playing at the time.

I was genuinely addicted to Wings of Prey on my Wii when I was in elementary school! I had no idea it was the precursor to the game I’d be addicted to in college!

My first Gaijin game was Blade of Time. And let me tell you, it endured the test of time pretty well. Graphically it looked amazing, and the combat wasn't ahead of its time, but it was fun.

IL-2 Sturmovik birds of prey was one of the first games I got for my 360, one of my favourite childhood games
