Heyup everyone!.. I was trying to play Dogfight 1942 on Steam Deck, but no success up to now.. i've tried to paste " protontricks 217790 -q winxp vcrun2008 dotnet35 " in the launch options like some users suggest on proton db (i've got proton 7.0-4 set, i can't find the 7.0-2 suggested by the first user on pron db).. Has anyone managed to get it working? Forgive if i wrote some wrong stuff, but i'm completely new to Linux..
For the most part, you won't get shot at too much as a lot of the planes are either too busy bombing their targets or dogfighting with your friends to bother with you. One thing to note is that if you do crash, reloading the checkpoint won't "fix it" and you'll have to just play the mission again.
In recent years, as those who survived grow sadly fewer in number, World War Two has become increasingly romanticised, and none more so than the idea of serving in the RAF. An era of bushy moustaches, dogfighting that required skill, rather than "fire and forget", and that "Tally ho, pip pip!" attitude, there's little nothing quite like putting on your best Basil Fawlty accent, stepping into a virtual Spitfire, flying helmet perched on your head, ready to "give those krauts a bloody good thrashing". And that's exactly what new downloadable game, Dogfight 1942 allows you to do.
Set across pretty much the entire globe during World War Two, and, brilliantly, playable in full split-screen co-op, Dogfight 1942's two campaigns let you and a friend take in the sights of the world - from the choppy tides of Midway, and a revenge attack on the Japanese fleet, to the deserts of North Africa, and more familiar skies over Dover, Kent, and London. With over 40 planes on offer, from the common (Spitfires, Hurricanes, Messerschmitts), to the rarer (a Gloster Meteor and a Typhoon), there's a decent selection of planes to choose from - although as most are locked to begin with, you'll have to play through the campaigns if you want to unlock them all.
Unlike the stereotypical intimidating "simulator", though, Dogfight 1942's been designed from the ground up to be easy for players to get the hang of. A concise tutorial takes you through the basics, while an adjustable difficulty level lets you choose a style that suits you. On the hardest, you're alone with few aids, as you glide through the skies - although you don't appear to be able to stall, and it's certainly a long way from the realism of Birds of Steel - but on Easy, things are a lot, lot simpler. With a number of assists to help beginner pilots, including auto-levelling of your plane, throttle that automatically scales to help you stay behind your target, and a sort of emergency-autopilot that yanks the controls away from you if you're about to crash into the ground, the developers have gone to great lengths to make Dogfight 1942 easy(er) to fly than any game that's come before it - but there's somewhat mixed results.
But for all it does so well, there's one main problem with Dogfight 1942 - and that's because it's all over a little bit too quickly. While the game may brag about providing a "full boxed product experience", what it sadly fails to provide is the equivalent length. With around five hour's worth of co-op gameplay here, it's not overly short, but when all was said and done, we were still left desperate for more. The few other co-op modes that round out the package - a survival mode against waves of enemies, and a dogfight mode sadly don't quite manage to fill the hole in the same way a third campaign would have done. Luckily, there are a few things to go back for, as you can improve your score (you're awarded a rating out of five stars at the end of each mission), and complete specific sub-objectives for each mission, from the basic (complete the mission again and improve your score) to the more extreme (shoot a plane down whilst flying upside down) - but sadly, when playing in co-op, it's not possible to unlock any of the sub-objectives. And while you'd imagine that unlocking the sub-objectives would in turn unlock new planes, or camouflage and customisation options, there's surprisingly nothing to tell you when you've unlocked something, or how far you are away from unlocking the next.
With a strong focus on co-op play, an accessible control scheme, a decent variety of planes, hugely different missions, and above all else, a large dose of fun, Dogfight 1942 is a blast. While it's sadly lacking some of the authenticity of Birds of Steel, and we'd have liked to have seen a cockpit view, or at the very least, a mission where you all man the turrets on a bomber, Dogfight 1942 accomplishes exactly what it set out to deliver - it's easy to pick up and play, it's action packed, and it's a heck of a lot of fun.
