Description

Attack Squadron is the next generation World War II flight combat simulation for the PC that allows the player to take control of a number of pivotal battles in the European Theatre of Operations, from either the Allied or Axis side. The focus of gameplay is on low-level attacks of tactical targets, over ground and sea. Missions include air strikes on a wide range of targets including warships, subs, trains, tanks, airfields, and factories. Other mission types add variety, and include Patrol, Intercept, and Strategic Bombing. Theatre of Operations Missions are set in the Western European Theatre, primarily in Western France, Western Germany, and the Low Countries. Sea-based missions are flown over the English Channel and North Sea off the European coast. The Western European landscape is recreated in detail using Mad Doc Software's next-generation rendering engine. Over 1 million square miles of terrain have been modelled, using high resolution ground textures and accurate digital height elevations. Numerous buildings and structures, from smaller dwellings to huge industrial complexes and notable landmarks, have been meticulously modelled. Hundreds of villages, towns, and cities along the flight path have also been modelled, along with railways, roads, rivers, and airfields. The typical mission starts near the objective, or the player can jump instantly to the next objective. Hardcore sim players have the option to fly realtime between waypoints. Missions and Multiplayer Game Play Jane's Attack Squadron offers single missions, campaigns, quick missions, and training missions. Campaigns combine single-style missions, and put the player in the role of squad leader, while quick missions allow the player to set a few parameters and jump into the fray. Training missions cover basics (take-off and landing) and attack manoeuvres (such as dive-bombing and using rockets and torpedoes). The game also includes robust multiplayer support for up to 8 players via LAN or TCP/IP. Multiplayer option
