Yep. Imagine that, another World War II game! This one, however, is an aerial combat title that puts you in the cockpit of some of the most famous planes to have patrolled the skies during the Second World War. Players will have the chance to see the conflict from four different perspectives, as pilots of the American, Australian, British and Russian armed forces.
If that sounds like your cup of tea, prepare to swoop down through the clouds and open fire on unsuspecting squadron of Axis bombers as you do your part to swing the war in the favor of the Allies. Combat Wings: The Great Battles of World War IIwill be out sometime later this quarter for Xbox 360, Wii and PC.
It's disappointing you're not allowed to play as the Luftwaffe. Toward the end if the war, allies had three thousand bombers and eighteen hundred fighters over Germany, while the Luftwaffe were able to send up up only seventy our so fighters. Considering their pilots flew until death instead of teaching after several successful missions, the odds would make the Luftwaffe a more interesting role to play.
