The Enhanced Reality System or ERS for short in Tom Clancy’s HAWX has been designed to offer a visual guide in which to properly maneuver your jet against ground and air targets.
The ERS creates a “tunnel” which you must fly through successfully to reach the correct position to take a shot. You can leave the tunnel for a short period but if you fail to return, the tunnel will vanish. Likewise, you must maintain speed within the tunnel or it will vanish.
Here are some of the tactical situations in which ERS will be useful followed by 8 high resolution screens showing off each situation in action.
Air-to-Air Interception
When you select an enemy target that is out of sight, at a certain range the ERS will generate a tunnel for you to follow that can be triggered by pressing a specific control button. If you manage to follow the tunnel all the way the target will be in front of you offering a shooting window
Air to Ground Interception
When you select a static enemy ground target the ERS will generate a tunnel for you to follow, that can be triggered by pressing a specific control button. If you manage to follow the tunnel all the way the target will be in front of you offering a shooting window.
ERS missile dodge
When you are targeted by an incoming enemy missile the ERS will generate an evade tunnel for you that can be triggered by pressing a specific control button. If you manage to follow the tunnel all the way, you will successfully avoid the missile.
Tom Clancy’s HAWX is still on target for a March release on Xbox 360 and PS3.
