Glory Days 2 - Generals are learning to fly

In September 1911, Italian airplane dropped a bomb on a strengthening of Turkish troops, located on the territory of Libya - so the application was launched cruise machines in large-scale hostilities.

Planes, helicopters and then quickly won the status of the most dangerous weapons and began to play a pivotal role in all the wars of the last century. Intelligence, bombing, ground transportation escorts, boarding landing - without it is not an armed conflict, none of our time.

Creators of the project Glory Days 2 went further - they have conferred on air aces and another commander duties. If from the usual pilot during fight requires only the specific tasks, there IDDK blends the action and strategy, he is also responsible for the fate of the abstained infantry, tanks, antiaircrafters and civilians, plus have to develop a strategy and economic issues. From these responsibilities from anyone's head explode, but not from the brave American aviators believe in the Odenis Studio.

Front notes

Sweat over thrilling plot authors did not, rather than the usual briefings before each player assignments director under the nose letter that pilots write relatives and beloved girls. Stingy texts talk about the tough military weekdays, and on each row are patriotic pathos.

Stories of some characters, in spite of the job performed, and the tragic end, instead of the regular news of a son whose parents receive formal condolences to the Minister of Defence.

Equally frank and brutal local field of battle. Levels Glory Days 2 denied a third measurement - opponents of the rod at each other, lining in line. Ground troops do not take quality and quantity, while the pilot falls opportunity to reduce the number of tanks and soldiers of the enemy, thus enabling the odnopolchanam move deeper into the front on the extra few metres. The most effective tool for this is a bomb, the staffing is suitable only for the machine-gun shooting of a hostile aerial vehicles.

Take off, saw defeats

Each scenario unfolding battle for the same scheme. Pilot takes off at maximum speed rushes to the front line, carefully drops and deadly projectiles, Pocket of missiles, which have a urine flies back to the base - where the aircraft for a few seconds Channel and download portions of fresh cords under bombs. In some skirmishes fighter instead used a helicopter - he is moving not so salty, but the show with the help of an enemy tanks - a pleasure. Helicopter, in addition, is capable of carrying paratroopers.

Without troopers weak, in large deds of explosions and tank tread is indispensable - only they are capable of capturing enemy bunkers. It's generate money - cash is spent on the purchase of new weapons. Other military units also perform specific role: Technology destroy enemy tanks and its headquarters and jeeps with missile installations masterfully confusing helicopters.

Refugees with the money

Sometimes currently happening on the screen The End Of The World - glitter bombings, rocket rush, feeling army marches. Get involved beyond these measures is not as big a chance to hook unfortunate people caught in the hell of battle. The evacuation of the civilian population also is among the responsibilities of flying direct general, but in this unpleasant little, in fact, for their salvation accrue large number of virtual dollars.

Some things in the Glory Days 2 seem redundant. Huge missiles fire covering the whole screen at once, trucks with ammunition to charge the aircraft without returning to base, strange jumping mines - the usefulness of the economy should not be underestimated, but in practice it turns out that you can handle, and standard. Main - to rivet tanks and soldiers and continuously without stopping to dangle between headquarters and the front lines.


Despite happening on the screen, almost bored do not have. And half a dozen affordable levels before the rush like a newsreel shots - no caffeine and eye blink, and the primary campaign has already finished. Fortunately for developers vtyanuvshihsya stored regime "Expert", as compared to a standard which looks unhurried walks of Forest Lawn. Sometimes it seems that the constant roar of bullets and cod collapse console directly in the hands. While strange symbiosis of strategy and arcade simulator, in the person of Glory Days 2 differences ideal similar range of feelings and emotions is not able to cause any other game. Indeed, nowhere is no command of entire armies in armchair fighter jet.
