Description
Strike Fighters is a multi-faceted flight simulation that features one of the most versatile combat aircraft off all time - the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. At its heart this is traditional combat flight simulation - you take command of a thundering jet fighter and engage in aerial dogfight with enemy fighters while seeking ground targets. The sim is set in the 1960s - when aviation technology was still primitive but advancing at a rapid pace. Some missiles and guided weapons only become available as you progress through the sim but true to history they remain somewhat unreliable and inaccurate. Most air battles involve visceral "in your face" gunfights and the players skill at outmaneuvering his opponents remains the key to victory and survival. The campaign can be played normally where you take on the role of an air force pilot. In this traditional role you are rewarded for a successful career with medals and promotions. In addition you may also take on a role of mercenary pilot; this adds another dimension to the gameplay by allowing you to build up your pilot's abilities resources and finances. Earn money for target destruction and mission accomplishment and use the profits to buy ammo fuel fix battle damage upgrade the aircraft or buy bigger and better armament. This optional element of role-playing adds a whole new dimension to the traditional combat simulator. In addition Strike Fighters also features Instant Action and Single Mission modes of play. Instant Action immediately puts you into the cockpit with a single mouse-click while Single Mission enables you to design custom missions and pilot your favourite aircraft.
