That’s not to say it’s any less of a sim in other respects on the training difficulty. While it takes practice, this level of simulation is where players will go to get the absolutely most real experience, and wring the most out of the game.
APACHE AIR ASSAULT SPLIT SCREEN FULL
The higher levels permit unrestricted use of the Apache’s full power, allowing the player to achieve top speeds and perform flight maneuvers that might lead to stalling just as well as targeting an enemy position. In this mode the helicopter has some restrictions, including air speed and elevation, preventing certain maneuvers, but allowing players new to helicopter simulators to practice basic flying and making the campaign a doable process for anyone. The game eases the player in, recommending training mode for beginners. These will keep dedicated players coming back for more, providing a place to test strategies and perfect mastery of the AH-64.
The wide variety of missions include a racing mode, hunter-killer sections where players controlling UAVs mark targets for players in Apaches, defensive last stands and full blown assaults on enemy strong holds. These mission are designed to have 2-4 players on them, and occasionally there’s one or two with four players in mind, requiring pilots to be in multiple places at once. Every mission can be played solo, however any one brave enough to venture into these alone will face a steep challenge, and occasionally run into a wall where it is impossible to complete a task with a single helicopter.
At first glance it seems like many of the scenarios are just missions cut from the campaign, but on closer inspection they are a completely different beast. Multiplayer has a deluge of options for the player. Infantry, tanks, APCs, bunkers, urban sprawls, and other helicopters stand in the way, and it’s the players task to defeat them. From desert bound terrorists, jungle guerillas and sea bound pirates, you’ll fight just about everything an attack helicopter can engage. These are generally entertaining and provide a challenge that feels satisfying upon victory, but doesn’t punish the player too much along the way. There are clearly moments were the player is supposed to feel something for these flyboys, but you never actually get to know them, and are left with only a “oh, that just happened?” The campaign’s main strength is the scenarios it places the player in. The plot can be ridiculous at time, however it is mostly non-existent, and does nothing to flesh out the pilots you play as. As you play through the campaign your stories will eventually begin to interweave and a full blown conspiracy discovered. In the main campaign you will follow the seemingly unrelated stories of three different air crews, PMC pilots in Tazirstan, US Army pilots in Salcedo, and British pilots in the Lualia People’s Republic. This is no arcade shooter, where you have infinite ammo and regenerating health, it’s as close as you can get to flying one without enlisting in the Army.
APACHE AIR ASSAULT SPLIT SCREEN SIMULATOR
15 seconds later I’m back in the fight, ready to finish what I started.Īpache Air Assault is a methodic, fast paced attack helicopter flight simulator game. Cursing myself, I helplessly crash into the ground. But I was careless, instead of hanging back I charged in, an alarm sounds as my chopper begins to spin uncontrollably, zoom out to the third person view and my tail has been completely blown off. Quickly moving to attack, I lock on to the armor and loose 8 hellfire missiles, wiping them out. As friendlies retake the village we get a report of enemy AA that’s a threat to our Close Air Support, backed up by tanks and fortified infantry. I fire unguided rockets into the enemy trucks and APCs, resulting in plume of fire followed pillars of smoke, as my gunner rakes the opposing infantry with fire. The forest suddenly cuts away, replaced by muddy ground less than one hundred feet beneath me, and the hate flies my way. My radar picks up and locks onto enemy technicals, and forward observers indicate there’s a company sized infantry force with them. I carefully listen to the chatter between myself and my wingman, friendly forces are pinned down up ahead and we’re moving in to assist. Skimming over the canopy, I sit in an AH-64D Apache’s cockpit, my gunner in front of me and windshield wipers battling against the rain.
