While AWAAP development is still paused, hope is at hands: "Bandits, coming in at eight o'clock high...break, break, break,........Gold Wing take those fighters, Natley and McArthur with me, we're going after the bombers....I'm going in on the leader.........got him! his starboard engine's burning up.....follow my lead men, tally ho!" ".......Damn it Gold Wing keep those fighters off us, I'm being torn to pieces......primary fuel lines been hit.....Jesus, keep them off me you bastards....those last two bombers aren't going to shoot themselves down....good God they've got the Bristol, her tanks have blown, she's going down!" A Wing And A Prayer is a total conversion for the Homeworld 2 engine, moving the action from space combat to early twentieth century aerial battles between a variety of fictional aircraft and airships, ranging from scout fighters up to ironclad super Zeppelins. Drawing on the style of games like "Crimson...

Description

Gunship - The gunship is, as its name implies, as
well armed and heavily armoured flying weapons
platform, who's sole purpose is to make life
difficult for other strike craft by pummelling
them with heavy anti-aircraft fire. This is
usually done by simply circling an aerial battle
firing stream after stream of heavy anti-aircraft
fire at enemy aircraft, without directly engaging
them. Should an enemy fighter wing come after a
gunship they will find it a hard nut to crack,
covered in heavy armour which makes machineguns
almost useless against it. However against Flak
the gunship fairs less well, and takes longer than
fighters to get beyond the range of an airships
guns.

Rocket Gunship - The rocket gunship is something
more of an anti-gunship craft, armed with heavy
Flak rockets that blast burning shrapnel across
large areas of sky. That said it is also effective
against tight formations of enemy strikecraft,
where its rockets can do serious damage to
multiple craft. Its biggest problem is the need to
fly straight at an enemy before launching, making
the gunship a real target for defensive fire.
Airships will also prove troublesome, pounding the
Rocket Gunship into oblivion with Flak turrets.
