The game starts off with you having access to a single country’s military forces, with you then branching out to research more aircraft and purchase more crews for you to use in battle. These were just my early encounters, and though I did get better at hitting ground targets, the air targets are still largely beyond me. Eventually I do perish, and run through my three available aircraft and crews. However, more often than not I’m on the losing end of an encounter, though I feel like I’m doing well to evade their attacks for as long as they did. I pull up, just at the last moment, and find myself soon in a dogfight and able to shoot down a plane on the other team.

There’s a wobble and imprecision to the way in which they turn and I found fine aiming was just as tricky in my more controlled setting as they had been at EGX, with the meters rapidly counting down to me crashing into the AA battery I’m trying to shoot up. It’s really, really hard to shoot stuff.ĭabbling with the early parts of the game on PC, my early German biplanes were just awkward enough to sap a little of the fun out of the game at that crucial early stage. Thankfully, all it takes is a few well landed bullets and an enemy will go down, but I do think that this is going to be the real sticking point for newcomers who just want to dabble in the game.

Hitting distant targets is really quite tricky, even with each target you select having a leading marker, for where you want to aim when shooting.

Admittedly, I was finding it difficult to hit a proverbial barn door, whether I was playing with Oculus Rift or the PS4 version.
