Aeronautica Imperialis Flight Command Free Download GAMESPACK.NET In the Imperial Air Force you control futuristic planes that try and shoot down the enemy without being shot at themselves. Each plane has a set of statistics and manoeuvres that it can perform. Not all planes are the same, some have better manoeuvrability than others, some are better armoured and some better armed. Somehow you have to get your planes to coordinate together to bring down the enemy. To do this you select a manoeuvre for each plane and then select commit. All the planes move at the same time, so you need to try and second guess what the enemy is up to, there’s no point sneaking up behind where they are on the screen as by the time you get there they might have done a power dive and are not even close to where you are. Essentially you need to pick a speed, altitude and direction and see what happens until tactics evolve.  TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Players can build their own squadrons of aircraft, choosing from a range of different models and weapons to create a force that suits their playstyle.

The beauty of Aeronautica Imperialis is its simplicity to control. Picking up the gameplay is child’s play, but learning the tactics that you need to win is a little more taxing. Trial and error will come into play a fair amount, but every time you play, you learn, you improve and you get closer to winning, or if you’re already winning, closer to total annihilation on a regular basis. As per usual there are different playing levels, three in the case of Aeronautica Imperialis. Rookie, where there are less experienced enemies, Ace, where there are better-trained enemies and more of them, and Apostle where you are flying planes that are on fire, have no weapons, the enemies are doubled and all have 50 heat-seeking missiles on board. OK, that was a lie, but it’s bloody hard.

The player can customize their aircraft with different weapons, armor, and upgrades to fit their playstyle.

Whether you chose an ace pilot with long-range missiles, or outfit a heavily armoured bomber with autocannons, no amount of micromanagement will save you until you can accurately predict enemy movement and speed. While traditional hit points and attack numbers all roll around in the background, the most important part of this experience is easily initial placement of any forces and accurately predicting the movement of your enemy just by glancing at their heading and targets. It’s like 3D chess without Spock, unless Spock was a grunting Ork.

In practice, even if we are in a good initial position, our target could go straight, veer to the right or left, or indeed make an inversion, and in addition it can raise or lower its altitude: in essence, our chances of putting other planes in our sights are also greatly reduced when we coordinate the movement of our entire squadron . While wing commanders and fighter aces watch their squad race through AA fire or blaze through overwhelming enemy odds, the view isn’t bad. Aeronautica Imperialis might come out of an indie outfit but the graphics are appropriate for this WW2 inspired, steampunk slice of 40k combat. Sure, it’s no Total War Warhammer, but then the Skaven cant fly and for the cover charge it more than does the job. Anyhow, Skaven can’t fly, can they? While the graphics won’t blow up your PC the bright explosions and accurate depictions of the air vehicles in this PC title are well enough presented that II found the whole thing blatantly charming in an odd way.

The game emphasizes tactical gameplay, with the player needing to manage their aircraft’s speed, altitude, and positioning to gain the upper hand in combat.

Visually, the game has some polish to it. I have personally built some of the models present in this game – and I was thrilled to see the same detail applied to the in-game models. I was less thrilled however, with the lack of momentum in the aircraft animations. Spending your turn planning a particularly epic action for your pilot, you envision the dramatic turn in your head – going into a plummeting nose dive, to then suddenly ramp up and start blasting the foe, you can’t wait to see it. Instead what you get is a ship that feels like it’s on some kind of rail system – like a mine cart following tracks. It looks even goofier when you have planes banking or performing proper barrel rolls, they look weightless and it crushes the immersion. I understand it’s only a small scale studio working on this project – but even some small contrail effects on the wings would have done a lot to sell the movement of these space-era aircraft. There is a level of pilot management within the game, and the title even touts a little persistent gameplay in how a lost pilot is gone forever. Training up new ones can be a chore, so you might be better off keeping them healthy. Of course, playing as the Orks does wonders for making you care as little as possible for your pilots – being a never-ending green horde, you feel there are plenty of nuttaz willing to get in the cockpit if given the chance.

Aeronautica Imperialis Flight Command uses a simple yet deep ruleset that allows for fast-paced and exciting gameplay.

The audio design in the game is worth commending – the tone of Warhammer 40,000 is essentially a borderline case of taking yourself just seriously enough to not come off absurd, and the voices and music fit perfectly in this space. Orchestral music swells and punctuates your gameplay, while voiceover work for the mission briefings sounds believable enough to sell it. My only gripe would be that the passive audio effects for aircraft jarringly jump up and down in volume during the ‘play’ phase as the game’s camera rapidly jumps from ship to ship. It ends up sounding jittery and weird. Upgrades, crew assignments, and a number of other multiplayer aspects ca similarly feel functional rather than special, and it’s something I fully expect to get some love and attention as time goes on. Aeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command is a mixed bag of dice. It’s a unique concept and the tabletop conversion and combat interpretation feels fantastic, its just a shame that when your head’s out the clouds the rest of the game doesn’t feel quite so special. Fans of strategy titles should definitely take this interesting new title for a spin but don’t expect it to be a long haul flight.

The game supports online multiplayer with up to four players, allowing players to compete against each other in real-time aerial combat.

Aeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command is out now on PC, via Steam and Green Man Gaming. Other titles act on the amount of movement covered by each move and on the lines of fire of the weapons to allow tactical programming that goes beyond the single turn. Alternatively, at least a countdown for the special maneuvers would have helped , instead in Flight Command we find ourselves constantly having to guess the enemy’s moves , also because the maps are mostly parallelepipeds with few obstacles that allow continuous circle in search of the lucky shot. The real breaking point for me was discovering that the game had committed the most grievous of flight-combat sins – there were no gorgeous crash animations. An enemy exploding in the air vanishes in a brief and disappointing flash of light and smoke, not careening out of the air into the nearest surface. Camp Buddy

And if you do somehow crash yourself into a surface (something I am quite guilty of) you will see the same effect. No glorious plume of fire and smoke, no wreckage screaming away from the impact site – just the same sad little POOF of something immediately becoming nothing. I can imagine that people learning the game should at least enjoy some spectacle in their failures. Aeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command is a game that knows what it wants to be. An ambitious project that is aware of its identity but feels a little like it is still growing into loose-fitting clothes. If it were an aircraft, I’d imagine a couple rattling bolts that might concern you, but once you get past those the flight is relatively turbulence free – albeit a little plain after a while. At its core Aeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command does a fantastic job of taking the core play mechanics of the tabletop title and bringing them to screen but not a ton more. The combat systems and action gameplay work fantastically but that certainly doesn’t make a game. Aeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command seems to feel like it lacks an identity at times.

While classic strategy titles like Command and Conquer or even Total War build a narrative campaign for players to battle through, the areas outside of combat feel functional at best. Blow up the Orks, upgrade some pilots, then it’s back out into the air for another sortie. Whether this was a choice to focus on a desktop port, or simply a lack of time we might not know but these other aesthetic flourishes from Pathe newsreels to cheesy debriefings would have gone a long way to give each commanding officer agency in the world. To give a significant example of a larger problem, the ubiquitous Immelmann tack comes to my aid ; this stunt consists of a half loop followed by a half roll, essentially an aerial U-turn along the vertical axis that allows for a sudden change of direction. Where’s the trouble?
