With problematic controls and simplistic missions, Whirlwind Over Vietnam probably won’t appeal to many sim fans.

Description
The War in Vietnam has become one of the most significant political events of the sixties. After World War II military technologies got a new impulse and started developing quickly. One of the most noticeable changes was the all-round usage of military helicopters. Even now, after 40 years, the image of a Huey helicopter is one of the most typical associations with the War in Vietnam and almost every movie dedicated to this topic features these machines.
Features
- Story based on the events of the military campaign in the Ia Drang Valley in November 1965
- Different positions in the helicopter crew - pilot, co-pilot, gunner
- Unprecedented level of details - helicopters, vehicles, equipment, human models and environment
- Various mission types: fire support, fire coordination, enemy search and destroy
- Autopilot mode allows to change view and watch the course of the game
- Engine-powered cut-scenes
- Real Vietnam locations
- Persistent non-playable characters accompanying player (crew), skills development
Hardware Requirements
Intel Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz, and a video card with 128 Mb RAM (minimum Radeon 9600 or GeForce 6600). But one should really have a rather hi-end PC to see all the beauties of the game.
