Sweet. I love the Spitfire.

I really want to play this one.
Anyone know if by turn based they mean wego? Especially at this kind of small unit scale, traditional turn based combat makes things look out of phase.

Reminds me a bit of those Sid Meier air tactic games from ~10 years ago.

I know there are videos that I haven't watched but this snippet suggests WEGO.

"A turn-based match structure that transitions from planning, through simulation, and into review of each turn"

Is this a remake/upgrade of "Check your six"?

Hopefully not in any sense more than conceptually. The digital version went over so poorly that it was pulled from sale in relatively short order.

Little bit of a sneak peek

Looks very interesting. And relaxing after DCS.

But probably a lot of work to finish.

Seems OK but I found that key rebinding wasn't always functioning properly.

Grim.Reaper · June 11, 2024, 03:32:02 AM

I'll have to spend more time with it, in the short time it didn't really connect with me, probably because I didn't have a lot of knowledge what to actually do.

Destraex · June 11, 2024, 03:45:50 AM

It does seem to be wego and seems to play nicely. Have added to my wishlist.

I am thinking this is still pretty far off being done. In recent developer comment they mentioned they haven't even nailed down how they plan to implement the campaign yet. Some reason thought this was a 2024 game but maybe not.
