I am in love with this DLC!
I have only played as the US so far until 1939,
but the amout of action that is included is insane for that small time frame.

Everything they Mentioned in the Feature Breakdown videos is here!
Completely redone skill trees,
and games rules.
This allows you to change the simplicity of justifying war, and can allow you to make nations other than yourself go down a
certain focus tree.
This adds maximum replayability.

The fuel system is amazing, as it takes into consideration the most vital resource when waging 20th century warfare.

The four new soundtracks it adds are beautifully conducted and composed, as are the previous ones.
But these are truly great soundtracks, especially "Shatter the Empires".

The American Skill tree renovation brings a tear to my eye, as it adds countless paths, for whatever party or ideology you pick.

Speaking of which, THEY FINALLY ADDED A ALF LANDON PORTRAIT!

The updated Mexican skill tree is also very interesting, allowing deep interactions between the American Nations in pre-war times. Making both the US, and Mexico infinetly more interesting to play as.

I still have ways to go till I unbox all this DLC has to offer,
hopefully, if you love this game as much as I, you will also
add this DLC to your library too.

Kerbal Space Program: My favorite Video Game, Interactive learning platform, Pass time, Place to goof off in:

Kerbal Space Program, just as the idea of space exploration, has immersed me into a world of wonders and understanding,
and I, as an understatment, have greatly enjoyed my current, 415 hours online.

What this game does:
This game, launched back in 2015, has provided ordanary people, a realistic, yet interesting take on orbital mechanics and physics. From my very first rocket I built on my friends computer, to my current ones riveling the power of nations, I have always been constantly engaged to get further into this seemingly endless solar system; and is that not what the origanal pioneers of space felt like? From orbital operations above Kerbin, to getting a Kerbal to land on Eeloo and back, there is always a challange, for any catostrophic failure could result in missing your target, hundreds-of-thousands of dollars down the drain, and a mission failure.

What you need to do:
You, the engineer, the builder, the budgeter*, the physist, the Mission controller, the communications manager, the Pilot, etc. Must insure every step of the way, that with your ever expanding knowladge through trial and error and success, that each part does what it needs to do when it needs to, that each and every orbital manuver is executed with enough accuracy to hit the target, that every part of the mission, communications have a strong effect on your spacecraft, that on landing you don't hit the ground at 20,000 m/s, that in reentry, your kerbals don't explode. It is all up to you, and with these responsibilities comes freedom, you build your spacecraft, you complete the missions you choose to do, and you control it your way.

(Keep up the great work)

Great game, a game with real helicopters, real locations, real wars, and real adreniline.

Co-Op Operations: This requires you to pick your helicopters wisly and preform Airstrikes, Landings, Resupply landing zones, plant troops, escort/destroy convoys, and even scout out enemies. With custom difficaultys and player number, you are bound to run into blood rushing challanges. With Team work and/or AI Support, youre not alone as other combat games suggest, but you ARE the force that turns the tide of war.

Battles: I have littile experience with Battles because of Air-to-Air combat which I personally find FUN and AMAZING, but in realism, its EXCEEDINGLY RARE to have Helicopters Dogfight. But its the same concept as Co-Op: You have Objectives and a main mission; But this time you have other helis opposing you.

Graphics: My standards for graphics are pretty moderate, it takes a Super game to get a 10/10 on graphivcs for me though, I'd give this game a 9/10 on graphics, Its easy on the eyes, realistic, and the foilage is AMAZING as well as the Shadows and shading. The water moves when you fly low too.

Helicopters: Right now the selection is either America, or the Soviet Union (I chose the USofA) They got all the Iconic Helicopters, very few will make you regret spending points on. The game includes Door Gunners, Rocket Pods, Main Guns, Gun Pods, Grenade launchers and more, each having their own variations of them by MM, targeting, Firerate, ETC. The great thing about loadouts is that they are customisable aswell as the camos.

Overall Great game: 4 1/2 (Thanks For Joystick Support.) Money very well spent. Best Helicopter combat game out there.

UPDATED (2023 v1.3):

Brickrigs is a fun game that allows you to make things with an awesome brick-based editor, that can be used in the physics sandbox, and various gamemodes with friends, and strangers of the awesome community that are always making new workshop creations that anybody can use. This game has regained its great trajectory in my heart, and I wholly recommend it for anybody who enjoys sandboxes and a little bit of lego LARPing.

UPDATED (2021):
Its been a while since I wrote this review, with a lot of changes to the game as a whole. It might just chalk up to nostolgia, and me not wanting to let go of the direction the game was taking in the past, but I feel like a lot of the changes at release were unnecessary and alienated a lot of the original community. I'm fine with Physics changes, which are necessary to keep improving a game so centrally founded upon that aspect, but the GUI, even if they look better, make the player's interaction so complicated, that the focus is no longer on the game itself. The new layout of the building mode is both, in my opinion, nonsensical, and many changes stripped the game of any sense of environment.

I hope that as the post-release period goes on, the game is able to fix these issues, that in all honesty shouldn't have spawned in the first place.


OLD (2017):
This is a rare game with great community, and Greater Gameplay. This game is money well spent, with many features that even big companys like EA couldn't master, IN EARLY ACCESS for only 15$. The Destruction Physics are amazing, giving it a new dimesion of world interaction, while in other sandbox games you are immune, and even games with destrution, blocks only wear; While in Brick Rigs, you are able to have Fires, Explosions, Brick loss, and even destroy buildings!

Another feature that makes it better than other games is that so far, if you pay the upfront price of only 15 bucks, you buy in to the game, you have access to every thing in the game, what you are looking for in a sandbox, TO BE FREE!

The ever changing community and Gameplay of this game has also given me the single ability NO OTHER FPS OR SANDBOX has allowed me to do, to Build, Download, and Edit vehicles with a large viriaty of guns, which I can then
RIDE INTO BATTLE AGAINST OTHERS IN ONLINE BATTLES, never have I played a game with this type of freedom, challange, and Drive.

Game modes and maps in this game are engaging, well made, and in many cases, have their own levels of challange and purpose: Conquest is based off YOUR GAMEPLAY, if you dont play the points, or get any kills, you cant spawn any Vehicles. In Battles, Its based off your skill of operating and even building combat vehicles, with no real limets for who can drive what. And Sandbox is a free, Self driven world, with amazing terrain, structures, and skyboxes, you can Roleplay, Build, or just mess around.

Community: With Workshop support, you can download and Upload creations at will, this free ability to post youre own creations strengthens community, making the online gameplay amazing.

This game is amazing, I would suggest this to almost any type of gamer, the brick look may not look "Butifying" at first, But the game has amazing art, and this type of game is what steam needs more of, the Dev is working hard on this great game, and I can only imagine how amazing the full version will be.
