However, the Allies have some heavy firepower on their side in the form of a massive battleship and the USS Enterprise. This battleship is much larger than the Japanese destroyer in Wake Island. The Enterprise, which, interestingly enough, lists to port because of kamikaze damage it sustained during the actual battle, can launch two aircraft off of its deck at once. Both of these US Navy ships can also launch Higgins boats to land troops onto the beach.
Quand on voit la taille de la map Wake (pour ceux qui ont eu l’idée de suivre les conseils de Conspy) on s’imagine que beaucoup vont rusher sur les moyens de transports rapides (avions etc…)et les autres vont aller se perdre dans le niveau.
We also played a little bit of Kursk, a map based on a decisive tank battle in the Eastern Front where Russian defenders managed to stop the onrushing Germans. This map plays similarly to Tabrook, though the area is heavily wooded, and provides for much more cover than the wide plains of North Africa. Each side has access to a number of tanks, jeeps, and armored personnel carriers, as well as a pair of fighter aircraft. The Russians can also operate a very powerful rocket artillery unit that can be driven nearly anywhere on the battlefield, and has the ability to fire six long-ranged and extremely deadly rockets.
Il explique aussi qu’il a pu voir que le B-17 transportera jusqu’à 3 joueurs, pilote inclus (ce n’est pas une nouveauté mais il fallait le rappeler). La version finale du jeu demandera beaucoup de bon sens et de coordination entre les joueurs si tout ce qui a été promis par EA est respecté et surtout si les serveurs supportent bien 64 joueurs. Affaire à suivre de prêt.
