Doc HoIiday Really? :) Oh man i wish me Birds of Prey back for my PS4. I think B o P has the best soundtrack compared with Birds of Steel / War Thunder.
Lazerus X No, you got PS3 and PS4 confused. Doc HoIiday Actually Warthunder's theme is a slightly retuned version of Birds of Steel Itself a remixed variation on Birds of Prey's theme. Birds of Steel was the successor to IL-2: Birds of Prey, and was succeeded by War Thunder a few months later in case you're wondering. Personally i count all three games as part of the IL-2 franchise, but War Thunder is different, with ground combat as well as the Free 2 Play formula.
why do so many people compare these games to war thunder? its a fucking P2W, how is it in any way worth being mentioned before a masterpiece of a series?
***** go to a warthunder video and compare it's theme to this, because this game was first. and the IL-2 series is much more realistic... have you seen IL-2: 1946?
The Arctic Gamer war thunder is not at all pay 2 win lol you always get matched up with same levels. and yea the war thunder theme comes from this as well
It all began here, now look where we are now, we never thought we'll ever see tanks and now we have modern present say ones, we jumped into the jet age and not only went beyond the speed of sound but we doublet it, we have misiles capable from firing from many miles away, legendary jets like the Mig-21 and 23 the F-4 and F-5, we even have "modern" jets like the Viggen, and all thanks to this game
This was the good old days. Before premiums, bought camouflage and all the other stuff. I sometimes go back and play it on the ps3 from time to time and what a game it is. Absolutely stunning.
Yep, his soundtracks are legendary, IL-2 reminds me a lot of Back To The Future music wise. As in the two music could be switched between mediums and would still work.
I remember when around 7-9 years ago my dad would let me watch him play this game. I would always jump a little when the plane exploded on the ground. I still remember that time I was (99% sure he gave me the easiest mode) and he said "wow I think you're better than me at this game." And I took that really well. still have yet to figure out how to get battle of stalingrad working..
This music is ear sex I wanna make love to this music, it's beautiful, it's romantic, it's mighty, it's dramatic, it's awe inspiring, it dances and fleets about much like the aircraft in the picture. In each note there's a tinge of tragedy, of death and sacrifice, but this is replaced by the high pitched trumpets that mimic the angels of heaven. The deep trombones help maintain the bridge between the material world and the world of God. Because fighting amongst the clouds like this is like fighting on heavens doorstep. I feel romance and the I feel the love stories between young men and their first love with women at the time. Men doing their duty and fighting with all their strength to defend the island of Britain from surrender. I feel the pressure and pride in this music that was bestowed upon these young men and how the fate of the world relied upon their actions in the sky. These pilots spent their youth fending off attacks from a foreign power, they were following in the footsteps of great kings before them like at Hastings. The song also alludes to the graciousness and stark beauty of the Supermarine Spitfire the most sensual and caring aeroplane there ever has been. She was the engineering that held Britain together and upon her wings rested the future and destiny of mankind.
God, I wish Gaijin included this theme in War Thunder. It's so majestic.
Actually they did...its just a lil bit different :)

Back for your ps4?
This game came out in 2009, you would have had to buy it last year!
The Arctic Gamer U misunderstand me. I played it on my PS3. But i would be happy, if i can play it on PS4.

"oh cool i unlock the realistic mode, let's see whot it does"
proced to stall myself in cockpit only view to my death and give up
Still a great game
brings back good memories!
This song brings back my child hood
So this is where the war thunder theme is from.
why do so many people compare these games to war thunder?
its a fucking P2W, how is it in any way worth being mentioned before a masterpiece of a series?
Um, they are both by the same company, and the theme songs are very similar.

The agrarian revolution was a mistake. The War Thunder updates from 2016 was a HUGE mistake
remember playing this game as a kid on the 360. it was amazing. SO MANY PLANES. want more games like this. remaster this new consoles and pc please.
Technically war thunder is a remaster
man,this song make me feel like i'm in WW2 with the RAF
You'll never be able to recreate that type of feeling veterans of that Era went through.
Those were the good days
I heard this play on war thunder when the new menu song ended, and holy shit, the memories came flooding back
This was the good old days. Before premiums, bought camouflage and all the other stuff. I sometimes go back and play it on the ps3 from time to time and what a game it is. Absolutely stunning.
Hey mate, I do the same here, love this game so much and still playing it nowadays.
I always have loved it on xbox 360
It's so sad that the historic theme is completely gone from War Thunder. It made the game special.
Guys you should still be playin it still looks like a nowadays game
@@chokworld Now we have DCS
this is, in my opinion, the best flying game made so far

@@trainknut they are a joke for me
@@trainknut the strongest point of wings of prey was the campaign
You should have played 1946.
damn, i miss this Game 😭
Anyone else play this four hours as a kid?
Loved this game so much. The dogfights were so insane. Long live the spitfire, the most majestic fighter of that era.
Bed to differ, Focke-Wulf 190 is more graceful.
@@simbadooo9055 Beg to differ, the Corsair and Hellcats were better
@@sayhallo3769 They both fought in different theatres of war so it's difficult to see how they would fight.
@@simbadooo9055 True, the humidity of the ocean below changes aerodynamics
@@sayhallo3769 no you had it right.
An yes. Where it all began for me. Birds of prey, to birds of steel, all the way to War Thunder.
Amen brother
Jeremy Soule? The guy who composed the music for Skyrim?! :D
Yep, his soundtracks are legendary, IL-2 reminds me a lot of Back To The Future music wise. As in the two music could be switched between mediums and would still work.
The Arctic Gamer idk about that

This music is representative of IL-2 Birds of Prey.
Better than Warthunder.
nice joke

We shall *never* surrender!
This just sounds amazing
I can't think if anything epic to say about this video being 10 years old
i was humming a tune in my head like this and i knew it was a real thing but i forgot so i typed warthunder theme then birds of steel then this
oh hi me
@@arandomyoutuber6634 hello me
@@arandomyoutuber6634 did u forget u commented this, came back for the song, and then found ur comment again?
@@An_idot yes
This game was so much better than Secret weapons of Normandy and Blazing Angles 2.
Hell yeah it was!
It was not however better than IL2 1946 or Cliffs of Dover.
SR71ABCD - BETA TYSON the first Blazing Angels is now on xbox one
This is the most stupid comment that i have seen. You try to compare a Arcade game to Simulator game? Same as COD vs Battlefield comparison
perfect
Il-2 sturmovik birds of prey is the same game as wings of prey. This is actually Wings of Prey Music :D
Отличный саундтрек!
Would be great as new theme for the incoming Battle of Britain 3D movie
+Seaxuan what Battle of Britain 3d movie?
Memory
BATTLESHIPS LADS!
brings back memories
THE BEST
Honestly amazing
Came back here after the war thunder battleships video, absolutely glorious
Un tema que trae muchos recuerdos
In this game, only one thing was missing to its perfection...Stuka's with Jericho sirens...
Who here after War Thunder video with first battleships and navy changes?
Müthiş bir oyun
