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...
Scout aircraft for the British and German
airforces.
Ornithopter - The ornithopter mimics the beating
of birds wings to sustain it in flight. This has
the benefit of incredible fuel efficiency, a high
speed and the ability to hover in the same area
for extended periods of time. It is also one of
the few aircraft able to fly through storms with
impunity. These attributes would make the
Ornithopter one of the finest craft in the air
were it not for the downsides of a weak internal
structure that can resist little damage from enemy
fire, and its inability to carry anymore than a
single machinegun. As such it is relegated to
scouting out enemy forces, and to the occasional
skirmish.
Autogyro– like the Ornithopter the Autogyro
possess incredible characteristics thanks to its
unique design, but is also incredibly fragile in
combat. Scout aircraft are indeed such easy
targets that many fighter pilots consider it bad
form to attack one without due provocation or a
direct order to do so. None the less the Autogyro
has a vital role to play in scouting out enemy
forces, and occasionally engaging enemy scouts.
The British ship is cool.
