Sorely tempted, just so I can rock a Y-Wing.

Y-Wings and B-Wings and BOMBS.  BOOM.

You do realize I was an expert Tk'er in Medal of Honor back in '01? My 6 grenades found friend an foe alike.

You do realize 12 years and you going soft have happened since then, right?  Besides, I hide and wait for everybody else to kill each other and pick off stragglers.

I was king of the Rocket fags
I was king of the shotgun fags
I was the prince of grenade spam

In battlefield 1942, I rammed the carrier into wake island
I mined my own airfields
I used the Natter as a tank ramming device.

I am death.

Interesting, I may have to fire up the laptop at home and check it out.

[Barrister]

Interesting.

Wonder who developed this since LucasArts was shuttered.  Never heard of this Area 52 Games, and their website says nothing.

You are always the Kubelwagen chauffeur of choice for me.

The question will be whether this is just a money grab jumping onto World of Warplanes/War Thunder train (at least that seems to be what they're going for based on their webpage), or actually a good game.

16 player death matches are kinda smallish.
