Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam Download PC

Strike Fighters 2 : Vietnam is a Windows game (Combat / Flight Simulator) based on Wings Over Vietnam set during the Vietnam War over South East Asia, and covers the time period between 1964 and 1973.

The game includes a wide variety of jets and weapons which can be employed in various mission types such as MIG-CAP (MiG combat air patrol), strike, air support, Iron Hand, and reconnaissance. The game is based on the Strike Fighters: Project 1 engine and was developed by Third Wire Productions.

Although it can be installed as stand-alone, this title can also be installed merged with Strike Fighters 2 to provide a wider selection of stock airplanes to fly and fight against.

Background

Strike Fighters 2 : Vietnam is a vastly enhanced simulation based on Wings Over Vietnam and released in 2009. The game was primarily rewritten to work on Vista and Windows 7 but this also means the game can take advantage of Microsoft's DX10/11 graphics engine. Although sticking to the "Lite" tag as previous Thirdwire games the developer has improved the flight models, and Artificial Intelligence to the point that the series is moving towards more realistic simulation with every iteration.

Gameplay

Despite the "Lite" tag, a fair amount of realism has been built in; 1960s-style bombsights are simulated rather than modern computer-aided aiming reticules. Dive bombing and level bombing techniques have to be worked out by the game player if they are to have success at completing missions.
