Number keys - Select upgrade when possible.Birds of Steel puts you right in the crosshairs of WWII's most intense skirmishes.NUMPAD, / V - Open/Close upgrade menu, when possible.NUMPAD 3 / C - Enable/disable permalock.NUMPAD 2 / X - Enable/disable Aileron Roll.
You are able to make upgrades as well, using credits obtained from destroying your enemies. Landing on allied airports will fix your plane, also filling fuel and ammo. If there are no bullets left, youwill not be able to attack.ĭestroying enemies and enemy bases allow you to buy new upgradesĪt allied bases. To prevent this from happening, you always can permalock the guns on a enemy: this way, the targetwill only change again when the enemy is dead or the permalockĪttacking must me manually inquired and costs ammo and one turn. Once a enemy passes in front of the plane, they will lock onto him however, they will change focus if anotherenemy passes in front of you. Your plane comes with two machine guns, that have the ability to lock-on your enemies. To aid the search for enemy bases (and allied bases as well, for when necessary to find one ASAP), there is an arrow that indicates the closest enemy base (and another that indicates the closest allied base). Doing a Aileron Roll will give you a major defense boost, at the cost ofusing five times (5x) more fuel. There is one last move: the Aileron Roll.
There is one exception thought: you may at any moment do a U-Turn, changing move direction by 180º. If you don't have fuel anymore, your plane will crash and you will die.Īlso, you cannot choose a direction and immediatly move towards such direction you must slowly turn towards such direction. Moving a tile will cost one unit of fuel (except one special cases see below). The objective of the game, then, is find enemy airports and attack them, converting them into property of Jandira.Īs a airplane pilot, you have a diferenciated moveset than the usual.įirst, every turn you will move a tile foward: just like a real airplane, you may not stand still on a same tile. In Birds of Steel, you play as him, trying to overcome the odds against a much bigger power. The country of Jandira is on the verge of breaking: attacks from the beligerant country of Pina, known for their skilled airplane pilots, left Jandira with only one airport left.Īll the pilots of Jandira deserted, except for one: Jao, a rookie full of courage.
