This was my immediate thought: the only vehicle-related KS I'm doing is an I76 reboot or spiritual successor.

As cool as the theme of I76 was, I never got into the gameplay. It was just dogfighting on one plane. A good WWI or WWII sim had similar gameplay but in three dimensions. I76 was just too much circling, braking, firing.

Yeah, it wasn't as deep as a sim, but you did have objects to hide behind and stuff, so in that respect it's different from a flight sim. But the fun part was also the part I liked best about Mechwarrior: configuring your vehicle and tweaking it exactly how you wanted, then trying that config in the field.

Also, we've had SO MANY WWII sims, but very few vehicle fighting games.




Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
