They do a great job ensuring the different Air Force’s have accurate fleets (ex: the Portuguese Air Force first super tucano’s went operational in Dec 2025. The Portuguese Air Force fleet in strike fighters now included the super tucano). Some ideas for improving the game are below: 1. Add more helicopters: We currently only have one helicopter in the game (the Cobra). There are many helicopter gunships and attack helicopters that could be added to the various campaigns. 2. Add more campaigns (ex: Arab-Israeli wars, Korean War, South African conflict in Angola) 3. Add the option to takeoff and land 4. Cold War: Expand the date range on “Cold War Europe” so that earlier aircraft can be featured 5. Add African conflicts that occurred during the Cold (ex: South Africa’s Angola conflict which included the Cuban Air Force, Portugals African conflicts, etc ) 6. Add a padlock view where the camera focus’s on the target. This is useful while dogfighting or maneuvering for a ground attack run Keep up the great work. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Top tier fighter simulator game, miss a couple things though *2026-06-21* All and all, this is by far in my experience the best, most challenging air to air and air to ground combat game I have ever played. Several things I would like to have changed would be: 1: I realized the most recent updates in the year 2026 seemed to have removed the USA Navy F18TX fighter. Aside from the F15EX Eagles, the F18TX was another awesome U.S. fighter I liked. Even if the U.S. in real life may have cancelled the project of the F18TX, I would still like to have it back in this game if possible? 2. One (somewhat) annoying issue is that while you can look at both the friendly and enemy aircraft when in “Pause” mode, there has been nothing get a good look at ground targets, except through the “Image Infrared” camera. If there could be a way to change that, that would be great? ### 2/5 — Point available *2026-06-11, version 8.11.4* My aircraft’s engine is underpowered. Can y'all please help me get the maximum needed to fully enjoy my game? Can the B2 have the same weaponry as the B-1 and B-52,pls?? ### 3/5 — Good *2026-05-17, version 8.11.4* Needs some improvement like spear 3 for typhoon upgrade and spear ew for lighting 2 UK. Also have the naval strikes been discontinued ### 5/5 — Add idea *2026-05-09, version 8.11.2* Been playing since 2018 and it never gets old to me but I wish some day we will get helicopters for and new missions that involve building and enemy also newer weapons and cockpits for more aircraft please add these things ### 4/5 — Improvement ideas *2026-02-23* This is a great air combat game and I like the concept. They do a great job ensuring the different Air Force’s have accurate fleets (ex: the Portuguese Air Force first super tucano’s went operational in Dec 2025.

Add more campaigns (ex: Arab-Israeli wars, Korean War, South African conflict in Angola) 3. Add the option to takeoff and land 4. Cold War: Expand the date range on “Cold War Europe” so that earlier aircraft can be featured OR make a Cold War campaign with a wider date range (ex: Include Air Force’s of South Africa, Cuba, etc for South Africa’s Angola conflict) 5. Add a padlock view where the camera focus’s on the target. This is useful while dogfighting or maneuvering for a ground attack run Keep up the great work. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Took my money *2026-02-15, version 8.9.1* When I got a new phone the app deleted all of my purchases. Also with slower planes the mission time runs out before you even reach the target area. ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-02-02, version 8.9.0* Fun game ### 5/5 — Please fix the b-52d’s and the b-52h’s hitbox *2025-12-23, version 8.7.3* The b-52’s hitbox needs to be fixed because how do I get hit with bullets that never even hit the plane? It would be nice if you could redo both the b-52’s hitbox. Also could you make it so that you can see the ground targets in the Vietnam campaign by like smoke or something. Also squadron markings for the bombers would be nice. ### 5/5 — 🛬 LANDING & TAKEOFF🛫 *2025-12-21, version 8.7.3* We need to landing and takeoff from carriers and airbases ## Frequently asked questions about Strike Fighters ### What is Strike Fighters?
