Mom and sis doing the dishes in the background while son kicks dads a** ingame on the kitchen table. Epic.
Not much has changed other than dishwasher so ladies can be on fb. *bad joke*

But somebody made a ripoff of that game and put baloons on these ships and called it Guns of icarus or something.

I agree, I would buy a game like that if it was similar to GoI in looks and mechanics and whatnot, and who else would make it like that xD *prepares money to throw at PC screen*

There may be some Halflife and Mount and Blade Mods that try and reproduce what you are asking for but those engines were not designed to do physics needed for this type of game play. GOIO occupies a pretty unique space. I would say GOI is a genera onto its own. There was a game called Air Buccaneers that is arguable in the same genera however it did not do too well.

Really though, in how many games would you have a team where each person plays a role so flat out different and interdependent on the others that one person out of alignment can get you killed even against inexperienced players? And that doesn't even take into account the other ships on your team.
I don't know of another game where individual play skill is so heavily dominated by teamwork and accountability.
In MOBA games, a bad player can kill a team, but an equally excellent player can save it anyway. GoIO doesn't really have that. It makes for a really interesting arena of play.

If I recall correctly there has been a battlefield 1942 mod for ship battles only. On the biggest ship there can be three on guns and one steering the ship. We had some hilarious fights back then.
the game is for free on origin.
