If your flying for the Americans *2020-10-20* Overall it’s a great game I put it up as the best mobile combat sim but if your flying for the Vietnamese your simply out gunned in every scenario 90% of the time you get shot down before your even in engaging distance. Coming from someone owns both versions f4s can become lethal and engage 14 km away vs the 5 with the mig 21 ohh and that’s before mentioning that flying the migs you have no radar guided missiles so you have to be a someone’s six to even pose a threat great game but unbalanced ### 4/5 — Not much detail... *2020-05-01* Maybe you can add more detail to the cockpit and ground because I don’t really see a bit of good detail in the cockpit and ground stuff ### 3/5 — It’s good but... *2018-10-21* I think this need to be updated. My reasoning is that if I do the campaign missions, only one sole b-52 will spawn in at any given time despite mission objectives and threats listed in the mission briefing. Perhaps taking a look into this would be nice. Otherwise, the detail shows how much time was put into this game. ### 4/5 — 敵少ない *2018-03-04* プレビューみたいにB52編隊で飛ばせてください。一機だけじゃつまらない。護衛の戦闘機がいなくてシングルプレイした時にやることがないです。他はすべて良し！ ### 3/5 — Gunship 3 is a great game but the Vietnam package has issues *2017-11-10* The single player in this game is the worst thing ever. They will talk about how you’re about to go and attack a US fighter plane but then the message comes up “destroy all b-52s to win”. Then you destroy 1 B52 in the area and that is the mission, needs to be changed. There is no dogfighting in the single player. Good thing using the Migs in multiplayer is a fun experience! ### 5/5 — Great Combat Flights Sim, but updates please! *2017-07-18, version 3.8.4* The Gunship III - Combat Flight Simulator is one of the best combat flight Sims that you can purchase and get in the App Store or the Google play store! The graphics are unmatched, the gameplay is the most fun I've had with any app that I have gotten before. In fact, I deleted all the other apps that were flight Sims and kept only the flight Sims that are made by PNTK (Phanotek). I purchased all of them! There's one annoying flaw that I see in this series and it persists and all Gunship III sequels. That is the issue of deadly grass! You cannot crash land your jet or touch any grass in the game or your jet will instantly explode! And in large you are NOT updating Gunship III (Vietnam War) or Gunship III Heroes of Mig Alley (Korean War)!!!!! Why?!?! One major issue is that there is no speed or altitude in the heads up display when your are using easy mode and using the fly behind camera view!!! Why?!?!?! Please fix this to in Gunship III Series. You have left these Sims unupdated for a LONG TIME!!!!! By the way, more objectives or any objectives in Gunship III Heroes of Mig Alley would be nice! Only single player objectives!! Why?!? Maybe you can do a capture the base in these flight Sims to like you did in Wings of Duty? It would add a lot more fun to the Gunship III series. Also, it would be nice if you could be a ground anti-aircraft cannon or Sam missile battery.maybe there could be another installment and make it the ground forces package where you can be any type of ground force, Either anti-aircraft gun, Sam missile battery, or even a tank that can help capture bases, if you employee capture the base in gunship III series. By the way, thanks for including this unique perspective of being able to fly for North Vietnam! It is very boring plain one sided games. All is fair in the name of fun. :-) ### 5/5 — Poo *2017-07-17, version 3.8.4* Great app ### 4/5 — Realistic and fun *2017-02-12* This game is great realistic physics good looking cockpit and what's awesome for the Vietnamese team is the small community and good communication ### 4/5 — I want a refund *2016-08-01, version 3.8.0* I thaight you could shoot down more than one plane per mission like in the USA version pls let me get a refund so I can get the USA version of this game for free ### 5/5 — Wow thumbs up *2016-06-01, version 3.8.0* I really like it but make it better like more bombers and fighters.Really like it thank you ### 3/5 — Fun, but... *2016-05-10, version 3.8.0* The aircraft in the game are cool but the main problem is singleplayer. In singleplayer the only thing you are doing is shooting down b-52 bombers. There are no other aircraft to shoot down. The only fun part about this game is multiplayer since you can face other players in multitudes of aircraft. ### 4/5 — Jack *2016-02-05* I like your games get mr of it game 😃😃😃😃😃 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — THE THUMBNAIL IS A SCAM, THERE ARE NO USAF PLANES AND ONLY 1 B52 WAAAACCCKK *2025-01-18, version 3.8.4* WHY REMOVE STUFF ### 1/5 — App Crashes on iPad mini and iPod touch *2022-10-15* Please fix ### 1/5 — Constant crashes *2022-05-02* Every time I even try to open the app it immediately crashes the ken time I entered it booted me out the seccond I tried to fly this game is garbage don’t ever buy it. ### 1/5 — Ios 6splus *2018-09-02* Continually crashes...cant even take off before it kicks me off. ### 1/5 — Buggy - unflyable since 2015 *2017-04-05* i frist mentioned about the bugs in this sim about Feb 2015 that it was not flyable - you cannot fly properly, you either spin uncontrollable or you cannot left the nose up after you just taken off etc. Now it is 2017, downloaded it again, still the bugs are still alive. Very disappointed that they had not fix the problems since 2015. I'm going to downgrade this game to ONE STAR. So do not spend good money on this game until they fix the problems. Don't buy until Monkey tested it and let you know! ### 1/5 — Shoot the B52, then shoot the B52, then shoot the B52, then.. *2016-07-26, version 3.8.0* The only thing here is shoot the SINGLE B52 that respawns. Literally, the entire US Forces has been reduced to one lonely single B52. There is no one on multiplayer if your into that kinda thing. So, once again, the entire country of Vietnam consists of you, another Mig and this poor B52 that is cursed to be shot down over and over again. I just saved you $5. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2015-10-26* App appeared on my 6 year olds iPad followed by a $7.99 charge. Unable to explain how this could occur given the App Store account is password protected & in app purchases are disabled on the device. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-06-18, version 3.7.8* Don't buy. This game is the worst full of bugs ### 1/5 — Awful - urgent fix needed! *2014-08-08* The latest update to the existing version, together with the other variants in the Gunship series, is utterly awful! Graphics are much better and three great new aircraft but... THEY DON'T FLY! Even with input settings turned up to the max, there is minimal if any response to controls. Taxiing is like watching paint dry with huge turning circles at full rudder, roll is the same and pitch is almost non-existent resulting in a crash into the ground before long. This needs a very urgent fix. Once it's in, 5 stars. For now though it's a 1 and a big shout of "I want my money back"! ### 1/5 — Cool but Glitchy and Confusing *2014-06-28, version 3.5.7* My screen randomly turns red or black in the middle of the game and then when it starts to clear up, all I can see is myself crashing. I recalibrate my WEEK OLD IPAD MINI and then it still does. And now it won't even let me take off. #Ripoff #MoneyBack ITS A TRAP!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — still active great *2024-04-11, version 3.8.4* great game love it <3 ### 5/5 — 一言で言うとモバイル版War Thunder *2022-10-24* リアル思考なゲームなだけにエースコンバット以上に機体ごとの性能差が凄いけど、それを乗り越えて敵を撃墜したときの快感がすごい! 　スパローが避けられないって怒ってる人もいるけど超低空飛行に慣れれば対処は可能で、敵がスパローの誘導にミスってすれ違った所にミサイル打ち込むのが最高に気持ちいいんじゃ〜 ### 5/5 — Huanaco *2021-12-08, version 3.8.4* Por favor actualicen el juego a iOS 15 por qué ya no me deja abrirlo ### 5/5 — I like *2020-12-31, version 3.8.4* I like dis game ### 5/5 — Good but it has small flaws *2020-01-03* It's fun. That's as far as my mind goes to describe it. I just don't like how quickly gray-out comes in. ### 5/5 — VPAF *2019-10-28* The great VPAF Pilot ! Quốc Tuấn vivat ! ### 5/5 — Not yet perfect but almost *2019-06-19* Can you add the helicopters like the hip and Hind and make it to where the free version you get kills and rescues to earn points to get the expensive jets and in the full version, you have to earn points to custom paint your jets ### 5/5 — Add tutorials *2019-04-14* ADD TUTORIALS FOR WEPON SYSTEMS ### 5/5 — So good *2018-10-19* No joke this is a piece of art. Well done. You deserve the money I pay for it. But I do have to say 1 thing, please keep on improving the game. You can make it even better ### 5/5 — Fun game *2018-01-26* Needs updating --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
