Then you can not only make choices of what weapon loadouts and choppers to use for yourself but also their platforms as well. As your rank increases you are put in command of other pilots. As you succeed in battle you slowly win medals and your rank increases. You start off as a brand new greenhorn chopper pilot. This game was one of my fondest memories from the old DOS games days. The enemy can be well armed as well, from deadly 2S6 gun/missile combo to old-fashion ZSU-23, even the occasional MiGs. Plenty of weapons are available for your side from the latest Hellfire missiles and Sidearm anti-radar missiles to the old fashioned chain gun and gun pods are available for your use. A full mission recorder allows you to view EVERY member of your team as they fight or die. Crew learn and grow in experience as they survive and succeed. Attack, defend, sweep, scout, rescue, drop. The dynamic campaign generates new missions based on multiple maps. When you are promoted to a sufficient rank you can take along multiple helicopters to accomplish your objectives. Updated graphics engine has much more detailed terrain variation with true valleys/hills and even train tunnels that you can fly through. Take the Apache, the new Longbow Apache, The Blackhawk, Comanche Scout, Comanche Gunship, or the MD-500 Defender on campaigns or missions.
