Advanced air simulator, in which we sit at the helm of the A-10 Thunderbolt II plane popularly known as Guziec and perform a number of missions in the Guantánamo Bay area of Cuba, aimed at defeating local partisan forces. Tasks include destroying tanks and bases or escorting allied units.
A-10 Cuba! is a sequel to the A-10 Attack game released a year earlier! Compared to the previous edition, the creators changed the area of battles, and also improved the graphic design, thanks to which the title gained even more realism. Again we are at the helm of the Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II, a plane specialising in close support of land forces. This is a single-seater unit with high resistance to damage and two turbo-ventilated engines, which has been adapted to eliminate ground targets.
The action takes place during the Guantanomo Bay conflict in Cuba. The player's task is to carry out twelve missions against local partisan units. Most of the stages consist in reaching a specific place and liquidating a key target such as a tank unit or an important enemy post.
The creators attached great importance to the simulation character of the game. This means that both the flight model and the whole apparatus of the aircraft have been faithfully reproduced. The gameplay is watched directly from the cockpit A-10. Depending on the player's preferences, it is possible to abandon control by means of a keyboard or a volumetrician in favour of a direct mouse click on the elements of the two-dimensional cockpit. There are also four tutorials for beginners to introduce to the arcana of particular aspects of aircraft control. There are options in the menu to simplify the control model a little.
If you are a fan of playing with other players, you should use the online gameplay mode, which allows up to eight users to fight aerial clashes at the same time.
Game A-10 Cuba! has a three-dimensional graphic design. The objects on earth consist of a small number of polygons. Much more faithful representation of Guziec. Due to the climate of Cuba, most of the time we spend flying over vast areas of the desert or the waters of Guantánamo Bay.
