What did I buy?

Excellant packaging, cool screenshots, interesting concept. That's it. I bought the game. Ran home and loaded hoping to fight the villians of modern Russia. The game loaded well enough, the opening screen provided one of the best cut scenes I have ever seen. Then POOF! it spit me right back out. I was never able to get the actual game to play. My system far exceeded the minimums required, just nothing. My best advice would be to save your $30 and invest in Gunship!. KA52 unfortunately collapsed in on itself. Oh and yes, I did buy another copy and the same thing occurred. Maybe they forgot the exe file. Regardless, nothing. A waste.

I did manage to get the program working but it is definitely buggy. Something is terribly wrong with the audio and it has a tendency to freeze. And I have a pretty typical high-end system. Still, I find the graphics slightly more interesting than Gunship and it is decidedly less arcade-like. It is admitedly a middle-of-the-road helicopter sim with greatly simplified avionics and a flight model that drives more like a monorail than a flying machine. For some reason, an advanced flight model produced during the beta testing didn't make it in the final product but you can download it from the web for free. A patch is greatly needed here but in the long-run, this program shows promise.

This game is so realistic they even speak with a russian accent and your ranks are displayed in russian. they also react to what you are doing... like my first ever mission he told me not to take off so I did and he yelled at me

GREAT GAME

Better then Gunship! But not the best!

I play alot of simulations. Attack helicopters are difficult to control. But I hope that whatever hardware problem experince by that should provide patched or at least at work around. It is very similiar to Team Apached. Good Time Interactive has work on the Tech Support division to help people with different configurations. On Final Note the game had you fight mainly former republics of the Soviet Union not the U.S. or France. That was sort of disappiontment not Fighting the Patriot Missile or Hawk or Longbow AH-64 or even Commanche stealth helicopter. It is on par Commanche Gold a older Novalogic Game.

A sim with an identity crisis.

This sim tries really hard to be a helicopter simulation, but the emphasis has been placed more on team-based tactics than a realistic flight model. The fact that you have to fly the aircraft is more of an afterthought when it comes to mission success.

This is a truly amazing aircraft in real life. This "sim" does not do it justice.
