Secret Weapons Over Normandy- any good?

[AztecWarrior]

I am currently downloading the demo. Wthat am I to expect? Please note that I AM THE FLIGHT SIM REALISM NAZI:

1: Twin-engined aircraft shall not outturn single-engined aircraft.
2: Bombers shall not outturn fighters.
3: .50s will not destroy a tank.

etc.

[Peacemaker]

.50 cals can easily destroy a tank on a road, shoot at the underside of the back of the tank, rounds bounce off the road and into the soft belly.

Mosquito bombers can out turn a few fighters.

P38 was one of the more manuverable aircraft of ww2 (can out turn a 109)

Bizowned :D

1: Twin-engined aircraft shall not outturn single-engined aircraft.
2: Bombers shall not outturn fighters.
3: .50s will not destroy a tank.

Hmm, since alot of WWII medium bombers were designed to be faster than fighters, your "realism" is more of an assumption

[Biohazzard56]

im a sim head and i dont like secret weapons over normany very arcade like and even worse on the PC with keyboard ,bad graphics, and res wont go to 1024x768 (must be glitch or something)

This game is SHIT

The only thing they got right is .303s not penetrating a tank.

A: The Hurricane Mk. 1 did not carry bombs.
B: The camo is WAY TOO FRIKKEN DARK on the Hurricane Mk. 1.
C: Why does it have to alternate firing the guns? All 8 are supposed to fire at once!
D: How the hell can a Hurricane outturn an Me109?
E: If you pull really hard, you just go in circles faster. This is on realism mode, kids. In reality you enter a spin.
F: Automatic stall recovery.
G: Projected bomb sight.
H: Targeting system.
I: Already going into stereotypes, making Trevor this proper old English guy.
J: These models are shit. I would expect this from Battlefield 1942, not a flight sim.
K: No multiplayer. Unless you get it for the X-Box or PS2. Then you get split screen.
L: Stukas are in incorrect camoflauge for the time period. They are in Eastern Front markings.
M: Incorrect markings for Bf109.
N: There was never a "Nemesis" squadron.
O: No sectional damage. I can shoot the wing, but the entire plane blows up.
P: AUTOAIM!! :mad:
Q: Flaps and gears go down at the same time for extra stupid people.
R: No performance decrease when plane is on fire.
S: No in-cockpit view.
T: Plane upgrades. What. The. Fuck. :mad:
U: Incorrect color of British tracers. They should be red, not white.
V: For that matter, incorrect color on ALL tracers. German 7.92 should be red with smoke trail, Early German 20mm should be yellow with smoke trail.
W: I saw 25-pounder artillery guns take out four tanks. The tanks did not hit the artillery. While possible, very improbable.
X: .303s are not affected by trees- I nailed 2 Recon Cars in one pass in a forest.
Y: Stuka gunners very rarely fire back. I was shot at with a collective 14 rounds or so.
Z: Ground AA rarely fires back either.
AA: I checked the website. There are two planes, at least, that never flew in combat.
AB: The game speed is arcadeish.
AC: Normal Me109s are simply horrible at shooting at me. Nemesis ones nearly brought me down.
AD: On the other hand, non-Nemesis aircraft are incapable of defensive moves.
AE: For some odd reason, on the first mission, the Stukas don't go for the ships, they go for Dunkirk.
AF: The Hurricane Mk. 1 cannot outrun a Spitfire or an Me109.

As you can see, I will not be buying this game. It is not even worth downloading.

I give it a 2 out of 5.

I like flight sims that pwn me. Like Il-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles.

stuff

....uh, dude... the point of the game is not to portray absolute accuracy, but to be fun and etertaining.

[Acaila]

If they label the game a realistic flight sim, they should try for accuracy. The target audience of simulations will expect it, as for many them it is required inorder for it to be fun and entertaining.

[AztecWarrior]

This is for people who own Dells and just got off their GameCube.

[Robot]

If they label the game a realistic flight sim,

oh, they did?

flame on, then
