U.S.H.F.: Beyond Armageddon

U.S.H.F. -- United States Hover Force is a hovercraft combat training simulator. The flight model utilized in this simulation is unique. Many things have to be considered when piloting your hovercraft. As your hovercraft travels forward and builds momentum, it will continue to travel forward until gravity and wind resistance eventually slow it down. This effect is particularly evident when turning at full throttle. It is possible to be traveling forward with the nose of your craft pointed to the side until the thrust from the engines overpowers the momentum. Driving a wheeled vehicle on ice at high speed would be one example of a hovercrafts flight model. To make sharp turns, use reverse thrust, then turn. You will discover that you can maneuver very effectively using this technique. The turret mounted on top of your ship can rotate 360 degrees as well as up and down. When you have selected a target (by pressing joystick/mouse button 2 or ) the turret will begin tracking the enemy, and will attempt to acquire a clean shot at the target. The center display console displays a view from your turret camera, so that you will always be able to see what you are shooting at. in many cases, you will be firing behind or to the side of yourself. Using the rockets is a bit trickier, since they are launched from a hard-point under your stabilizing wings, you must have your selected target directly in front of you long enough for the rockets seeker heads to lock on.
