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...
New coloured concepts of the redesigned Fighter
and Fighter Bomber:
Fighter (Fokker Dr.1)
The Fighter is the first aircraft designed for
the sole purpose of engaging and destroying enemy
strike craft, and it is a role it excels at. Armed
with two .303 machine guns and a propeller mounted
cannon, the Fighter tears through lighter aircraft
with ease, and has the speed to match enemy
fighter craft or intercept enemy bombers before
they reach their targets. The fighter’s weakness
is its inability to meaningfully damage enemy
airships, while many will fall prey to the
anti-aircraft guns of these behemoth gas bags.
Figther-Bomber (Albatros)
Armed with dual .303 machine guns and a 50lb
bomb, the Fighter-Bomber is equipped to deal with
almost any aerial threat. In groups its bombs can
be devastating against enemy airships, while it
possesses the firepower to engage enemy fighters.
It is however a jack of all trades and a master of
none, lacking the higher speed of dedicated
fighters and the heavier bomb load of other
bombers. The Fighter-Bomber is still a valuable
aircraft, especially early in a battle when
resources are tight and the first strike might
prove decisive.
