It's amphibious in Birds of Steel, which is pretty much an offline version of the game, so yes.

I must know more about this "Birds of Steel"

But BoS won't have the playable land units and ships...

Thanks Cybermat. I'll look at that link. I haven't looked at BoS too much actually. I'm just surprised that there's a halfway decent console flight game.

well after playing this game for a week now, I must say I am very impressed.

and the community is not too bad either, just have to ignore some of the "kid's" flamming

Don't go into it expecting IL2, BOBII or CloD, set your expectations around the Wings of Prey area and you should have some fun.

It's a good bash, the main action is in the arcade area but HB and Full Real are getting more popular as it goes on. Don't bother with a joystick for arcade, use keyboard and mouse.

The visuals are quite stunning, the choice of aircraft is excellent and the promise of the addition of playable tanks and ships in the future is something to look forward to.

Have fun.

Just flew my first sortie and it's quite fun.

Though, it could use a tighter chase-cam.
