### 3/5 — Mission loading is not working.

*2025-12-24*

Can’t move on to the next missions after completing first mission. There has been no update in missions for so many years now. Why can’t this game be made a good evolving game overtime.

### 3/5 — Appraisal + Request

*2025-04-06*

Hey Threye , this is awesome too much action and the gameplay is smooth. Absolutely love it! But there is one problem, whenever I complete a mission and gets to play new mission after completing then when i return to home , I see that non of my progress is saved , I am stuck on the very first mission ( the supply drop) for months , please fix this issue asap. Rest of the game is fantastic. Thanks! Jai Hindi🇮🇳🇮🇳!

### 4/5 — Mission progress issue

*2025-03-17*

This game is quite fun, I have been playing it since the launch but it  doesn’t recognises my progress of the missions and is stuck on the first mission and I have to play 1st mission again every-time to reach the next one.

### 4/5 — Amazing experience but game cant be saved

*2025-02-18*

I am thrilled to fly MiG-21 and Sukhoi MKis in this game.  Not just that there are Surgical Strike missions that keeps the player on the edge.  The only drawback - even though I successfully completed the mission, the stage is remains locked and I have replay again to unlock it. But I can't save the game thats the only negative with this game and which is why I took one star off.

### 3/5 — Nice but some issues

*2024-09-01*

This game is actually pretty nice and has some great graphics. The only problem is that mission three is luck based. Looking at the other reviews I seem to understand that this is not only for me. Now I get irl, flares don’t have 100% success rate but can u please increase the rate? Also seems like this game is dead

### 3/5 — Sagar

*2023-04-09, version 1.54*

Make it more challenging with new regular updates. Improve graphics and control

### 3/5 — The game has a lot of potential.

*2022-07-12*

Overall, This game is well designed and the graphics are pretty good along with the interesting missions. The only problem I see with this game is unrealistic physics. Even if a plane stalls, it falls down to the ground very slowly. When taking off, the planes reach 200 knots speed within a second. If the developers added a few more controls like flaps and rudders along with better overall physics, this game would become perfect.

### 5/5 — Nice Game, Why Not Make A US Air Force game like this one?

*2021-08-25*

I love everything in this game and I believed you may have worked hard to do it. But why not add a US Air Force game or something similar to this?

### 5/5 — Salute to the developer!

*2021-07-24*

I have always fancied about how does an IAF pilot feels inside the cockpit. The thrill, the responsibility, the situation of emergency and the feel of victory and accomplishment. This game has brought me so close to feeling that. Of course the actual experience is incomparable, but at least I got a good glimpse of what an IAF pilot must feel in those airborne dynamics. The graphics are very good, the aiming, the drops and the manoeuvring have been done with detail. The water graphics are really good. And the best part of this game is that it provides the official details of how to join the IAF. Every step and requirements. A fantastic start. I will support you in your endeavours.

### 3/5 — KToo hard can’t be past level 3

*2021-02-07, version 1.54*

### 3/5 — Great game, could be improved

*2020-11-26*

Some of the controls were a bit testy, especially when pushing the stick down on all  aircraft. Controls are confusing on the helicopters, especially the AH-64. 

Another issue is that the enemy aircraft are programmed somewhat poorly. 90% of each dogfight I was stuck in a Lufbery—ended up being kind of boring. 

Still a lot of fun though, and a fantastic recruitment idea. I wish the US armed services had similar games to garner service interest.

### 5/5 — Review

*2020-09-08*

Horrible game can’t even get past level 3 the flares don’t work an d the maneuvering cannot outsmart missles😡😤

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-09-03*

I love this game!! But could you fix the flip around screen so that when you charge your device you can play? Could you please make a US version of the game?

### 2/5 — No fun

*2020-08-26, version 1.54*

This game is fun to start but the mission number 3 is really bad and raging

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2020-04-08, version 1.54*

### 1/5 — Mission 4 issue

*2019-12-07, version 1.54*

Awesome game. But I’m stuck at mission 4 when enemy jet attacks. It seems like the cmd is not working!
Otherwise it’s an awesome game

### 1/5 — Bugs or hacks in multiplayer

*2019-11-26*

The scoring for multiplayer has bugs. Shooting down aircraft is scored and attributed correctly but bombing enemy base hits scores gets mixed up. One instance my scores went someone else for bombing enemy and at another got credited someone else’s score when I didn’t participate  enemy base bombing. Once it was victory with enemy base being bombed but when score it was defeat. Most recently I bombed the enemy base game end in victory  but when score came it was a draw.
Either there are bugs or players are using hacks

### 5/5 — PLAYERS NOT AVAILABLE

*2025-06-02, version 2.0.5*

Could you please upadate a section regarding One v One combat with friends online because there are no players for Deathmatch. With that, cargo simulation is really a hurdle because no matter how we manoeuvre, it always gets hit. 

App interface is great.

### 5/5 — About level clear

*2025-02-24, version 2.0.5*

I clear levels but after I restart game I need to clear level again so it’s very bad for me

### 5/5 — very good game

*2024-07-08, version 1.54*

i love the representation of the Indian air force even that im not a indian, but the quality can be better. The gameplay is awesome

### 5/5 — I love it

*2024-03-15*

This is cool but I wish they would get the machine gun sounds right but the game is cool I love it a lot if you like helicopters and jets this is the game for you.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2023-10-17*

Thank you for creating such a marvellous and interesting game. I am 13 years old and I want to join the IAF in the future and this game really keeps me happy every time I enter the cockpit of a jet plane or helicopter. This game really shows the power and might of our Indian Air Force. I always enjoyed playing the missions and my favourites ones are the c17 one and the su30 one. This game can also use an update with new aircraft like the il-78 and helicopters like the mi-35 it would really keep many people entertained. Also hats off to the developers, for creating a game to inspire the youth of the country to join the Air Force. Please add these aircraft it would really bring a smile to the faces of millions. And lastly thanks for adding a little more sugar and spice to my childhood.  

Sincerely 
Ethan Furtado🙂

### 5/5 — Nice game.

*2023-07-09, version 1.54*

The game has been a very successful initiative by the iaf. Although the game has been abandoned, if they work on the graphics and advertise it well, then the game could earn millions.

### 5/5 — I love my india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
