As you'd expect, the aircraft are modelled in exact detail, as are the 3D cockpits of the seven aircraft that you can fly.

The graphics are quite simply state-of-the-art, and take full advantage of the latest 3D Glide technology. The emphasis, however, is firmly on dogfighting, and your skill in the cockpit - as opposed to developing a linear plot line and everything - is geared towards making this as realistic and enjoyable an experience as possible. In many ways, WWII Fighters follows the same premise, though this time around you get to fly seven different accurately modelled aircraft and take part in a branching campaign flying for either the Allies or Nazis. So where does Jane's WWII Fighters fit in? Formerly known as Jane's Fighter Legends, it's been developed by the same people who gave us Top Gun: Fire At Will, a modern-day combat jet sim which successfully blended gameplay that cocked it's hat to the less serious flight sim fan, with lush graphics and attention to detail. Both have a lot to recommend them in their own right, though to be fair the campaign mode in European Air War, along with tidier graphics, gives it the edge over Combat Flight Simulator. We've already had Microsoft's and MicroProse's entrants into the World War II combat flight sim arena (see Also Consider panel left), and it's fair to say that both games are aimed squarely at the serious sim market. Presumably, as we see the hardware get even faster and cheaper, you won't be able to move for World War I flight sims. Dedicated 30 hardware enables you to fly much lower and slower without the terrain breaking up.
Maybe it's got something to do with the introduction of 3D accelerator card technology - suddenly you don't have to be flying at 30,000 feet at 500mph for the terrain to look acceptable. It's somewhat odd that after going so long without any commendable World War II combat flight simulators there's now a deluge of decent contenders available - or soon to be available - for the PC.
