This package manages to capture one of the most impressive creations in MD history in all of its glory. The awesomely named Strike Eagle is an aircraft that holds an incredible range of respect and reputation across the globe for its deep style and interesting nature – but it’s also an aircraft that manages to bring a lot of the power and strength associated with modern aircraft to the fore. If you are no used to flying in a military aircraft then doing so in this model will come as a bit of a shock to you along the way!


Strike Eagle screenshots

Resplendent with totally complete panels and sounds, this aircraft manages to really capture the crowning glories of its real-life counterpart. This aircraft really does the best that it can to capture the detail and style at which it can move forward with, creating a very enjoyable and incisive way to manage and prepare for moving forward with this aircraft thanks to its fantastic range, style, and speed – looking to try something truly fast? Then come and try this out!

This model comes with all of the additions that you would hope for, as well as a fine range of additions along the lines of liveries that depict it being from the RAF, the Fighter Wing, and the Fighter Squadron respectively. The graphical nature of the whole thing looks outstanding and it makes it nice and easy for you to see the whole thing managed as effectively as it can.

Another important thing to consider, however, is the range of precision that the aircraft has in terms of the way that it performs. It flies just as it should, capturing all of its real-life glories perfectly and ensuring that it can take off and fly into the sky at the same petrifying pace of the real thing. As far as aircraft go, few come close to managing to capture the real power and presence this manages to hold. It really does hold that A-list style in design and in presence but you do need to consider that it flies with the same power and ferocity, also!

It comes with a brilliant bomb ability that can be dropped from a great height, as well as animated ailerons, a completely moving tail, rudders, flaps, engine intakes, airbrakes, compression gears, canopies and an emergency tailhook all equipped. This absolute load of new features, animations and techniques make flying this more of a challenge than it might have appeared to begin with!

However, the whole thing looks just outstanding and it manages to really capture that precision and that energy that is so desperately needed in an aircraft like this. The fact it comes with totally authentic sounds only further adds to the way that this feels when you fly it – utterly dynamic.

If you are interested in seeing a comprehensive and passionate remake of one of the most awesome aircraft out there, we recommend that you check out this grand remake of the Strike Eagle.
