The Gamblers campaign was jointly developed by Baltic Dragon and John ‘Rain’ Waters, a former Viper Demo Team pilot, member of the 77th Fighter Squadron and host of the Afterburn Podcast.
Throughout the 13 missions of the campaign, the player will have an opportunity to relive some of the sorties that Rain and his squadron mates flew during their deployment to Syria as part of Operation Inherent Resolve. Furthermore, the campaign recreates the most iconic moments of the allied involvement within the theater, including the Battle of Raqqa in 2017, the US TLAM strike against the Shayrat Airbase in retaliation for the regime’s chemical attack on Aleppo and the standoff between US forces and the notorious Russian Wagner group, which is now known as the “Battle of Khasham”.
This campaign also introduces a new, more immersive way for the player to interact with the environment using their HOTAS, this practically completely eliminates the use of space bar or F-10 menu.
The campaign also includes features that account for the player’s performance and possible errors. This means that his wingmen or other assets in the mission can take over tasks the player is struggling with, which can lead to multiple ways in which each mission can progress. All of these scenarios were meticulously checked and tested to avoid possible bugs and problems and ensure an enjoyable player experience.
