"What If" Dogfights Become Real In Air Duel

Imagine taking on an F-16 Falcon in a World War I Sopwith Camel. Are 
you so sure it would be no contest? Remember that the Sopwith Camel 
would give off no radar signature, and the full-throttle jet would 
have to rely on visual sighting. Now things get interesting_

That's the premise behind Air Duel, Micro-Prose's new dogfighting game 
that lets you pit planes of different eras against each other in 
scintillating battles that test your cunning in new, amazing ways. Air 
Duel makes a great introductory combat flight simulator as well, 
because it places a great deal more emphasis on fast action than on 
the ultra-realism common to most simulations in the genre.

"Air Duel is designed for the flight simulation novice who wants to 
learn the basics of dogfighting in a new, exciting, and challenging 
way," said Product Manager Carl Knoch. "But it's also a fascinating 
experience for even the most experienced simulation buffs."

Air Duel becomes even more exciting in its two-player (modem play) 
mode. Now gamers can take on their friends in the aircraft of their 
choice, in any of six different eras of aviation history: World War I, 
World War II, Korea, Vietnam, The Falklands, and the Middle East. 
Among the aircraft you can fly are the Sopwith Camel, the Spitfire, 
the F-86, the F-4 Phantom, the Harrier Jump Jet, the F-16, the Fokker 
DR1, and the MiG-23.

"The potential matchups aren't as lopsided as you would think," Carl 
adds. "Planes from different eras each had different strengths, 
including maneuverability, speed, or armament. Heat-seeking missiles, 
for instance, do no good if they can't find the target.

"Air Duel is a simulation, but it's also suspends reality enough to 
make for some memorable adventures. It's the ultimate 'what if' game 
to a combat flight simulation fan and it doesn't waste time bogging 
you down in the details a typical combat flight sim would find 
essential."
