APACHE AIR ASSAULT CONTROLS PC MANUAL
The machinegun is for the most part handled automatically by the artificial intelligence, leaving you in charge of the heavier weapons, but you can choose to switch over to manual use of the machinegun at any time. There are moments when the framerate stutters, and textures sometimes pop up a little late, and I would have loved more detail. It's loud, sounds good, and looks fairly realistic, without doing anything out of the ordinary in the visual department. The missions are varied, well crafted and combat is seldom boring. I take out a whole convoy with a dozen rockets, scout for guerilla troops in the jungles with heat vision, hunt for terrorists across snowcovered wastes, sweat it out in intense dog fights with enemy helicopters, give support to a downed colleague, demolish bridges and buildings. Something that Apache: Air Assault is successful in conveying. Instead the focus is solely on what Boeing's combat helicopters want to be known as - death bringing super weapons. It's your typical cliché riddled, dry and informative tales of terrorist attacks and pirate troubles.ĭon't expect a particularly exciting or gripping story. Before each mission you get a rather short briefing on what you need to do. All airborne delights you get to pilot are officially licensed by Boeing.
It's all about helicopters made for combat. If you're a military fanatic it's enough to bring forth tears of joy. My AH-64D Apache Longbow unleashes the heavy artillery with Hellfire missiles raining down on my targets. The rotor blades start humming, I'm up in the air and take aim for a number of armoured vehicles and foot soldiers carrying rocket launchers.
