DESCRIPTION

A hypothetical Soviet invasion of West Germany sends the Cold War spiraling into WWIII in Wings Over Europe: Cold War Gone Hot. Gamers can climb into one of a dozen of the era's fighter jets and engage in dogfights with 13 Soviet aircraft across central Europe in three campaigns spanning the 1960s and '70s. Flyable planes include the F-100D Super Sabre, F-4 Phantom II, F-15 Eagle, A-10 Thunderbolt II, British Hunter, and the Harrier "jump jet."

Wings Over Europe: Cold War Gone Hot features a random mission generator designed to give campaign missions a different outcome each time for greater flexibility and replay value. Each successful mission results in pilot decorations, awards, and promotions. The game also features open architecture for mod support allowing gamers to download user-created aircraft, terrain, and campaigns already available on the Internet. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
