Wings Over Israel Download PC

Wings Over Israel (AKA Combat Over Israel in some European market) is a Windows game (Combat / Flight Simulator) covering the three major Middle Eastern conflicts Six-Day War (1967), Yom Kippur War (1973) and Lebanon War (1982).

The game includes a wide variety of real jets and weapons from the era, which can be employed in various mission types such as Combat Air Patrol, Interception, Close Air Support, Escort, Defense Suppression, and Reconnaissance. The game is based on the Strike Fighters engine and was developed by Third Wire Productions.

Background

Wings Over Israel was released in 2008 and was part of the Strike Fighters series of "lite" flight simulators developed by Third Wire Productions. The term "lite" was applied because they are designed to be relatively easy to learn and play compared to other more "hardcore" flight simulators.

The game was set in Middle East from 1967 to 1982, player flying the IDF/AF jet fighters in three historical campaigns. The developer took and improved on its existing Strike Fighters engine and thus the game was another step forward in terms of quality and game play.

Gameplay

Despite the "lite" tag, a fair amount of realism has been built in; 60s-style bombsights are simulated for the pre 1970's aircraft 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. Aircraft that come into service after 1970 have advanced Head-Up-Displays that allow the player to aim bombs with more accuracy than manual dive bombing techniques. The A and B versions of the AGM-65 Maverick, allowing much easier ground target destruction for the late 1970s aircraft.
