So true

This game looks better in lots of aspects besides textures up close. Dang.

I put so many hours into Birds of Prey. Spent so long on the BoP forums. League tournaments (of which I won one: proudest moment). So much nostalgia. I love that theme music.

"why does this game still lowkey look kind of good" funny you say that, games back then seems like they had better quality in passion compared to games today, when you look at games like battlefield 2042 compared to bad company 2 or battlefield 1, 2042 looks like a complete joke, warthunder still looks good. It's ridiculous, I miss when the gaming industry had more passion.

Considering its age, it looks good. Great vid ty for making me smile in the afternoon. Squire would be proud of your commentary.

Birds of Steel on the PS3 for me was my Wings of Prey. Absolutely loved that game, had every aircraft. 8 year old me still has a distinct memory of flying a H6K trying to do a torpedo run in a multiplayer lobby. I got hit by flak and a fuel fire started, I was amazed. A fire usually meant the aicraft was gone and it automatically made you bail out and zoom out. Yet here it was, I could still fly and watch my aircraft burning. I was completely stunned. Got my torps off before the tanks detonated. Unfortunately a decade old memory has been hazy so I have no idea what happened then. I don't even know what type of ship I was aiming for, I just have one grainy image of a burning H6K and a feeling of wonder.

I'd definitely love to see more! Had the same experience u did a couple weeks ago. Played the game on ps3 growing up and when I fired it up a couple weeks ago, I struggled with the controls and asked myself how I used to play this 💀

Such a good vid WeBe! The nostalgic content is so sick🙌🏽

That’s the sequel to this game

this game is my friggin childhood! picked up wings of prey on steam a few years ago but i noticed the narration isn't the same sadly. also this has one THE BEST soundtracks out of any game. period. by the same dude who did the ost for skyrim ;)

The fact that i played this game on ps3 brings me back to my childhood. Thanks man. Now im gonna go boot it up and see if it still runs

I remember playing this back on the PS3. I didn't even know it was proto warthunder until last year.

I was like 5 when i first played Birds Of Prey, or around that time. Thank you!!! For the nostalgia

Man I loved this game so much growing up. This is what reallyyy got me into sim. I got back to it every now and then. Its a lot buggier than I remember lmao. The comment about the flak at the start was hilarious, warthunder flak is so messed up its sad,

Oh wow… kinda reminds me of a game I used to play. Back when my Father bought me the 360 for the first time he bought 4 games with it. Cars 2, Bolt, Some car game I forgot and Blazing Angels 2. Blazing Angels 2 was what got me into fighter aircraft. I was so invested into the story I enjoyed it so much. Thanks Dad!

I played the demo of this game every day before it came out and then played the game to death. Honestly one of the best games of its type for the time.

Dude I remember playing this game for hours and hours on my PS3 non stop and learned how cool planes really are

I remember the opening to birds of prey, and it made me very hype for air combat. They had a great music director and I sometimes play it when I fly War Thunder or DCS.

I remember playing this game as a kid and it had the most detailed graphics I'd ever seen in a WW2 flight game. I was also horrible at it lol but I remember being so immersed in the Battle of Britain mission and how intense that was.

My first sim game I played was IL2 1946 and Mig alley which were if im not mistaken both on 2 DVDs. And it was mainly because my father is an extreme enthusiast into military planes so he was teaching me how to play these 2, I was about 13-14.

holy shit, dude. i remember playing il-2 sturmovik on my 360 YEARS back. the snail planned it all out, i swear

The game that got me into WW2 aircraft was Heroes of the Pacific on the PS2. Never played Wings of Prey. I think I'll check it out

@WeBeStronk

That's a proper throwback! I think that was the first plane game I played but I wouldn't call it realistic. As for wings of Prey, if you've played War Thunder you've played Wings of Prey 😂

OMG the memory lane bro ❤❤❤ I use joystick to play this legend, and it work great 👍

That was my first flight sim too. It had a fantastic music score!

I played this game once at my cousins house before i was allowed to have a gaming console .. years later i got into war thunder and i thought hey.. this game looks alot like birds of prey so i did reseach and came to tye realisation it made me happy

I was prepared to charge my phone after long work day, but i saw this in my notification screen, actually my phone can wait😉

I remember playing the tech demo of this (Birds of Prey) over and over back on PS3. It was a different time for gaming. I guess I’ve been playing WT even longer than I’d thought.

You just unlocked something in my brain with this game

I remember seeing this in the blockbuster and how I always wanted to rent it. Memories

I remember playing arcade multiplayer battles and using the IL-2M in air-to-air because of how overpowered the plane and its rear gunner was. I regularly shot 5 or more fighters off my tail without dying

I played the hell out of this game back in the day. I was disappointed that war thunder didn't bring the online game mode where you attempted to land on the enemy runway to take their airbase.

this looks so fun. please make more videos playing wings of prey

I think the one that I played first before War Thunder was Birds of Steel or something like that. It had the Gaijin intro and the iconic theme as well as a full-on tech tree. And the mouse aim circle thing for console.

Playing Blazing Angles: Squadron of WW2 is a blast from the past

I played this games Pacific Version, Birds of Steel, and it stilll holds up today!

I was one of the cool kids who had a Logitech Attack 3 joystick for this game. Thing didn't even have rudder twist but man did it make playing this game so much fun way back when.

The reason all the flak is better and stuff, is because gaijin was only working on aircraft and aircraft, gaijin has to work on three separate things in war thunder, and their budget as a result in split between the four trees of each nation

Only the OG of Wings of Prey remember the strat of deploying the landing gear to slow down and kill everyone

I played birds of prey like crazy jeez just unlocked some memories for me

Great game, I'd like to see more, since I can't play it anymore bc my ps3 doesn't read cd's anymore...

Anyone else remember grinding the planes and crashing into the pillboxes over and over

Bro I used to play this on an Xbox 360 and loved the spitfire

man it saddens me to see that devs that actually care can make this but we have a kind of p2w warthunder that almost looks worse than this and cant connect with the player base

World of planes (yup. it's original war thunder name) was basically a pc port of birds of steel. Then it start to evolve intro war thunder.
