|
The Modern
Air Power series of games will
explore the "Era of the Missile", when these devices became the
premier air superiority weapons. The Vietnam War was the large-scale
combat debut of the missile, and that conflict heralded the beginning of
modern aerial warfare. |

Reconnaissance and intelligence
aircraft overfly targets and record bomb damage for headquarters
assessment and mission planning. Radar- homing and heat-seeking air
intercept missiles, “dumb” and “smart bombs” as well as “SAM
Killer” anti-radiation missiles are all modeled. |

First Title
in New Series |

|
War Over Vietnam is a
tactical air warfare simulation that features an extremely detailed and
accurate depiction of the operational air war over the expansive Southeast
Asia theater of operations.
Electronic warfare,
including standoff jamming, chaff corridors, and self-protection ECM pods,
helps strike aircraft penetrate successfully to their targets in the thick
of the dense and lethal North Vietnamese air defenses.
A full suite of sensors is
modeled, from ground controlled intercept and airborne warning and control
radars down to SAM and AAA target-tracking radars.
War over Vietnam is the
first computer game to attempt to authentically portray the full
complement of offensive and defensive weaponry the “River Rats”
employed when going "Downtown" over Route Pack Six. |

War
Over Vietnam covers a truly diverse range of airspeed and altitude
flight profiles: from a supersonic F-111 'Aardvark' roaring 200
feet above the jungle canopy at night; to an SR-71 'Blackbird'
blistering through the lower ionosphere at several times the speed of
sound; to an HH-3 'Jolly Green Giant' hovering motionless 50 feet
off the ground near enemy troops while 'PJ' rescue men winch up
downed airmen.
