European Air War

This game is very good!

One of the best games i have ever played. My top 3 games are Empire Earth 1, Silent Hunter 2 and European Air War and I can't put this game in first place because these games are the best in their own way. First version of this game (1998) is unbelievable. I've played this game over 2 900 hours and that includes the first version of the game.

I really wanted to like this but the lack of joystick support really makes it unplayable for me. Too bad as I was really hopeful MicroProse would breathe new life into old gems like this. Also, game seemed to require DirectPlay. No other game I've played requires it. It probably has not been updated and has tons of issues itself.

Golden oldie made new again ,danke

Gave a thumb up for nostalgia, Awesome game at the time, Don't expect too much nowadays.

Me pueden decir, como funciona ?

das ist alles ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥:(( erst hat die verbindung zum joystick logitech 3d pro nicht funkzioniert, keine möglichkeit den zu programmieren.. dann hab ich das original eaw installiert und mit dem den joystick programmiert und eaw wieder deinstalliert. Aber ihr eaw startet nicht, fehler 7217. was soll der mist??? mal ehrlich, wie soll ich das spielen? übers keyboard oder was? total daneben dies alles....

all time classic, never get's boring due to it's well-blended mixture of simulation and arcade. Must-have for all ww2 enthusiasts

EAW is a *really* good and accessible ww2 sim by MPS even by today's standards. If you ever played 1942 pacific air war it's pretty much the sequel to that but focused around the euro theater around the battle of britain and the subsequent years of invading and taking the fight back to the nazis. Visuals might not stand out now, but that was a point made at the time the game released and the game was mostly praised for the gameplay\systems it had, that classic MPS loop of doing a seemingly infinite amount of missions and ranking up as you earn points. However! on the highest rank you can earn the chance to maintain and manage your own squadron! Lots of cool stuff here for a nearly 20 year old game.

I used to play this many years ago. It's the only flight game I've had that let you fly axis planes. Music is great and boardroom assignments add realism.
