History
Heroes Over Europe is a tactical flight combat game developed by Transmission Games and published by UbiSoft. It is the sequel to Heroes of the Pacific.

Game Plot
Heroes Over Europe takes aspiring combat pilots into the bullet-ridden heart of major World War II European air battles in glorious dogfight-friendly high definition. Heroes Over Europe follows the Allied campaign from the attacks on London to the destruction of Berlin, with players under orders to strap themselves into the authentically rendered cockpits of the campaign’s iconic aircraft. Their mission: to survive the most ferocious dogfights ever seen in a flight combat game.

Game Play
HOE focuses mostly on dogfighting. You simply maneuver behind enemy fighters and fire unlimited bullets in their path. Against bombers, you dive in from above so as to avoid their gunners. As you have an enemy in your sights, a meter will slowly fill around your targeting reticle. You can then press a left shoulder button to slow down time and target individual sections of the aircraft. It’s still difficult to pull off as the reticle is quite shaky, but taking out a wing or the fuselage makes for a one-hit kill, and then you’re free to move on to your next target. Currently, weapons are limited to guns and bombs. Ironically, our Swordfish torpedo bomber was armed with unlimited rockets rather than actual torpedoes. Though fun to fire, we hope that actual torpedoes will be added. Fans of Battlestations: Midway will recall the thrill of dodging antiaircraft fire to successfully deliver our payload, and we hope torpedoes are added before the game’s release.
HOE still has a ways to go in development, but the view from the sky was a treat. There was a noticeable amount of texture pop-in and some of the plane models were unfinished, but the landscapes and cities looked as if they were pulled from a 1940s version of Google Earth. One notable omission is cockpit view–try as we might, we could only select between two different follow cams. Let’s hope that feature is added before release, because nothing puts you in the cockpit of a WWII plane like a, you know, cockpit view.

Game Modes
The single-player missions will begin with the German bombing of London and finish with the final bombing of Berlin. The game will also have you play as three different Allied pilots in an attempt to immerse you in the story. As for multiplayer, Atari is promising 16-player online action and four different modes, though we have yet to see it in action. When we do, you’ll be the first to hear about it. You can fly the unfriendly skies for yourself when Heroes Over Europe is released in 2009.

Apparently. . . .
This is what I heard about the game. I am a racer not a violent jet fighter, loving the war in its every aspect. But apparently the above is what flight simmers think about the game. So if you like sky fighting HOE is the one for you. The true flight simulator.
