The Vietnam War is a fascinating and underused setting for air combat simulations. Planes of the era were transitioning from subsonic and transonic fighters that relied mainly on guns to down other aircraft to extremely powerful and fast fighters like the F 4 Phantom that were built as missile delivery platforms. These fledgling wonder weapons weren't nearly as effective as planners had anticipated, and American pilots had to face the dual threats of enemy aircraft that were designed for dogfighting and the most sophisticated network of antiaircraft defenses the world had ever seen. Wings Over Vietnam lets you experience much of the flavor of the conflict, but it's fraught with problems that can be very difficult to ignore.
