A Wing And A Prayer mod for Homeworld 2

While AWAAP development is still paused, hope is at hands: Moddb.com

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 Skies", and "The Hunt For The Red Baron" and books like "Jack Black and the Ship of Thieves" A Wing And A Prayer will thrust the player into the gold age of flight, as the German Imperial Airforce and the British Royal Flying Corps decide the future of the countries far below, and attempt to uncover why the Kaisers ultimate aerial killing machine has mysteriously disappeared in an Arctic storm.

Features:

• Original setting, story and premise set during the stylistic and technical golden age of the 1920's, the first Real Time Strategy to focus exclusively on aerial warfare.
• Two fully realized races with unique ships and abilities; the German and British airforces, and one Mini-race, The Air Pirates.
• A broad selection of original units, from ornithopters and fighters to gunships and heavy bombers, nimble flak Zeppelins and refinery ships to flying dreadnoughts and carriers.
• Dynamic weather conditions benefits or undermines player strategies. clouds, sunlight, rain and wind all effect your aircraft. Alter the weather with Weatherships, Harness the suns deadly rays with the Sunbeam airship or electrify your opponents with the Lightning Zeppelin.
• Upgrades including amour piercing and incendiary bullets, improved engines, armour and more give your units the edge over other enemy craft, Customise your fighter to annhilate bombers with incidenary bullets or to devastate gunships with armour piercing rounds.
• Altered game physics recreating high altitude aerial combat, aircraft bank and slow when turning, gain speed from diving and slow as they climb. Pilots try to outfly and outfight their foes rather than gun them down in simple head on attacks

• German Imperial Airforce The IAF emerged after the disastrous losses of the European ground offensives as the premier military force of imperial Germany. Well equipped, professional and battle hardened, the IAF rely on brute force and conventional firepower to knock opponents from the skies. The war is an opportunity to relive the glory of the 1914-18 air war, settle the score with Britain and above all to make clear once and for all the dominance in Europe of the young German state; it is a war for Kaiser and Reich.
• Royal Flying Corps What was once a small reconnaissance unit has expanded massively to counter the German aerial threat, and the RFC is now all that stands between German bombers and the British mainland. Utilizing cutting edge technology with old fashioned British ingenuity, the RFC fight with a mixture of valour and desperation, mindful of the fact that defeat will mean not just the end of the empire, but of Britian itself.

[*]Air Pirates Psychotic murdering scum with no sense of honour and out for profit alone, the Air Pirates wouldn't want anyone to think of them as anything else. Robbing the passengers of civillian airships, claiming bounties on enemy ships and scavenging their remains to sell, the Air Pirates make a healthy if unscrupulous living in the skies above Europe. Wanted criminals across the world, there is no love lost between the Pirates and the British and German airforces, and any encounters are likely to be explosive battles to the death.
