### 4/5 — need more features

*2022-06-20*

this game is a banger but its sad to see all the wasted potential i feel like im playing a game that has the environment of a bunch of children who chat spam and hack the game. overall very enjoyable game IF you only play single player.

### 3/5 — It keeps crashing

*2022-06-18, version 3.8.4*

Pntk.Inc, you’re games are very cool and interesting but sadly Gunship 3 has been crashing all the time and now I can’t play it. Phanotek, could you fix the issue and hope that we can play again.

### 4/5 — Awesome but could use more aircraft

*2022-05-31*

I think this Game is awesome but it dries up kind of quick, I Believe if you had some more aircraft like A6s or more carrier based aircraft it would be even better, also on the A4 the gun sight is off, the cross hair isn’t on the hood

*2021-10-14*

Bought this game for $3.99 at first I enjoyed it but all of a sudden when I would want to play the game it’d start but crash and close on me I’d start it up again and the same thing would happen so I just deleted it I tired requesting a refund but it says there’s no purchased app so I re-downloaded the app cause I thought that was the issue but nope still nothing

*2021-08-04*

1. Can u combine the 3 apps to switch teams and aircraft or just the 2 US to switch aircraft 2. Different navy prototypes 3. On the Skyhawk there should be 1 with 4 missiles and whatever 4. Navy helicopters 5. A new jet but free with missiles

### 5/5 — 3 stars because you not updating this game

*2021-05-30*

Plz update this game this game is fun and l think you will be able to review this game

### 5/5 — New planes and load outs

*2021-05-16, version 3.8.4*

I would like you to add the a7d Corsair for the navy and the a lot of others like the,f111f, and a lot of other veintnam navy planes and for the strike package to it only has three planes like navy I would love it if there was more to chose from. I would also like if the af Skyhawk had a all bombs loadout same with the phantom it would mean a lot and I would play it more if it had more planes please and thank you.
