### 5/5 — Best game ever.

*2026-07-24, version 1.53*

I have been playing CB2 for years now, I have purchased the F22 raptor which is such a great addition, now I am on level 512 on arcade mode and am 5 start general if the Air Force with 6 medals very very addictive game with no annoying ads 10/10 game excellent job lads 😝😝😝

### 1/5 — Неудобно

*2026-04-22*

В первой части камера не дергалась, играть было приятно.  А здесь это ушло, а появилось непонятно что. Удалил игру через день. Пишите лучше продолжение первой части.

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2025-10-03, version 1.53*

Very lovely game with nice love story 😇 thank you pleasure to fly with tomcat!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-09-02*

One of the best games I ever played on phone. I have reached 800+ level guys good job!

### 5/5 — Weather

*2025-05-16, version 1.53*

That would be great if you could add some changes in the background like snowing or raining weather conditions.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-04-15, version 1.52*

This game is is really good , it’s fun when you 

can grind to get the best aircraft. But could you add more aircraft and helicopters please.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-04-15, version 1.52*

Tho shame has amazing graphics and definitely worth playing, you will love this game if you are a TOP GUN fan as the first fighter jet is the F-14. Chefs kiss

### 5/5 — Ideas

*2025-03-10, version 1.52*

Definitely a 5/5 mobile game for me! I have recommendations for the game as well. I think it’d be really cool if you added in more Helicopters such as the Mi-28, AH-1Z, Ka-52 and even the Blackhawk. I also think more advanced munitions would be really cool like long range missiles (or Fox 3’s) and more air to ground ordinance for aircraft such as maybe AGM-65’s for the F-16. But overall, an amazing mobile game!

### 4/5 — Bugs!

*2025-01-23, version 1.52*

During the rescue mission, many survivors die after getting out of the helicopter even if the helicopter has not been damaged throughout the entire mission.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-01-16, version 1.52*

Really great game!🤠😎☺️
