In terms of its release date, the graphics and aerodynamics of this game r pretty decent. But honestly, it's hard to stand the smooth experience under 30fps. [hr][/hr] [h3]Reviews: 3/10[/h3]
Did not age very well, controls are clunky, user interface is dated. Not worth it at that price anymore.
Take On Helicopters – More Like Take Off the Fun 🚁🙅♂️ I had high hopes for Take On Helicopters, especially with Bohemia Interactive’s reputation for crafting realistic simulators. Unfortunately, this one crashed before it even got off the ground. 🛑 The flight model? Sure, it’s “authentic,” but only in the sense that it makes you feel like you’re piloting a helicopter that’s been drinking too much coffee. The controls are stiff, and even though I tried to embrace the challenge of a “realistic” flying experience, I quickly found myself wishing for something a bit more forgiving. Maybe even… fun? 😅 The landscapes? Well, they’re beautiful, but no amount of stunning scenery can hide the fact that the game feels more like a flight lesson than an engaging adventure. If I wanted to experience a slow, tedious ride through the skies, I’d just look out the window of a real helicopter. 🌍✈️ Honestly, I was expecting to feel like a daring helicopter pilot on a high-stakes mission, but instead, I spent more time trying to figure out how to land without plummeting into a mountain. Spoiler alert: it didn’t always work out. Take On Helicopters is the kind of game where the realism might appeal to hardcore flight sim enthusiasts, but for the rest of us looking for a bit of joy while flying around, it might be best to just stay on the ground. 🚁💥 Created with <3
It's hard to actually recommend this game... It's... rough. Especially on a keyboard and mouse. With that said, I did enjoy it. It's running on an engine between Arma 2 and 3, the engine they initially used to start DayZ Standalone. It runs really badly, on my i7-7700k and RTX 3080 I get about 40 fps with med-high settings in 1080, lol. If you have HOTAS this game is probably a LOT better. I really feel like it was not meant to be played on keyboard and mouse, although I managed to beat the game on KB&M. My main frustration with the controls is the collective is SUPER SLOW, so I have shift bound for raise collective, I have to tap shift like 5x just to raise it a hair (make sure to disable Windows sticky keys... grrr). On the other hand, I have a button next to LMB and RMB that I use for antitorque/rudders (which was frustrating and difficult to bind). If I tap RMB, it sends full pressure to right pedal. So it's either 0 or 100%. It is great to see how far they've come along in Arma Reforger, it is so much more enjoyable to fly with KB&M. The campaign was interesting but ends abruptly with very little resolution. I really enjoy the sling load missions and police missions where you have to deploy units via tactical insertion. I like the attempt at a realistic flight model, I love that wind is a factor. I am curious how realistic it is. I love the location of the game (Seattle area). There are missions where you will need to fly ~20km with nothing happening, thankfully with the = key you can speed up the game x4. Overall I have to admit you probably will not like this game. It's frustrating, clunky as all hell, and challenging for the wrong reasons. But, if you love helicopter sims, are familiar with the old Arma engines, and can pick this up for a low price AND you have a HOTAS system, this may be worth it for you as a 10 hour experience.
Terrible performance on modern computers. Awful controls, awful gameplay with lags, crashes, and just general unhelpfulness. I tried the career mode to check the story and see if the game ever gives you the options to buy helicopters on your own as it promises but could never finish it because of terrible game design. Do not even think of buying this. Too late to refund for me.
Zróbmy symulator śmigłowca przecież mamy super silnik gównolitVirtuality z Army. Co może pójść nie tak. Damy trzy śmigłowce ale z kilkunastoma wariacjami kolorów i przeznaczenia. Dajmy dwie mapy do latania w tym jedna to niemal cała pustynia. i grafikę budynków zostawmy na poziomie roku 2000, przecież nikt nie będzie z bliska się przyglądał latając. Aaa no i nie optymalizujmy tego niech nawet po 13 latach chodzi jak kupa na dobrych parametrach. Będzie super , wszyscy kochają Bohemie i jej wysryvy gejmingowe. Toporne, ubogie w content, brzydkie i optymalizacja spierd0liła jak zobaczyła co tu się odpi3rdala. Generalnie czuć, że to gra robiona na kolanie. O zgrozo mam tego wydanie pudełkowe sprzed lat. Nie wiem z jakiej gry to screeny w sklepie, ale nie z tego gniota na pewno.
This is nice for a simulator. Scenery is better than expected. Learning to fly helos in the sim is a learning curve, not like real life
the game launched without steam, and i regret starting it, -3/10 game
