Description

The much anticipated sequel to the first Red Baron, this game allows you to take to the skies once again in actual World War I aircraft. You are allowed to fly a wide variety of fighter craft (scouts, as they were called) from both sides in "instant action," single mission, and campaign modes. The campaign mode features a dynamic war front that is always changing based on the actions of you, your squadron, and all the other squadrons positioned along the Front.

The basic idea stays true to the original Red Baron, but with improved graphics, more realistic flight models, smarter AI, and a much larger, vibrant game world.

Trivia

Sierra eventually released a patch for Red Baron II that fixed most of the glaringly obvious bugs and provided 3D support (hence the name change to Red Baron 3D) but in this gamer's opinion, it was a matter of "too little, too late."
