### 3/5 — Mission broken,

*2020-12-06*

Mission 4 is broken, You can’t complete it, or at least I can’t, Because before I can even take off, At the start of the mission I lose, The game tells me we have lost to many ground units to complete the mission, Please fix it

### 2/5 — Level 8 is stupid

*2018-06-22*

What’s with level 8? It fails before you even get off the ground

### 2/5 — Good Idea

*2017-10-26, version 1.4.3*

This is not a bad idea for a game, but it suffers from unrealistic physics and bugs/glitches. It also incredibly repetitive; nothing new really happens. Ok, for the first 10 minutes of playing it, it's fun, but beyond that, it just gets old.

### 4/5 — Crash

*2013-11-23, version 1.2*

It crashes a lot

### 2/5 — New version needs fixing

*2013-11-07*

How does a helicopter fly backwards?

Love the original and it's great to see an update, but, 
The way the heli moves is bad

The rockets are too powerful

### 3/5 — Great game but..........

*2013-02-17, version 1.0*

This is a very addictive game, but it has problems such as; the U.S. soldiers sometimes look like they don't want to fight, the enemy can be standing next to them and they do nothing. How do you beat level 9, because I made every camp American, but as soon as I shot that last soldier it went off quickly and I couldn't read what it said. I need more control of the soldiers and I want to fire the helicopter's guns. Please upgrade this because I would hate to see this game be just another game that you end up sorry you bought.

### 4/5 — Good game!

*2012-12-29, version 1.0*

Good game, challenging some interesting game play. AI soldiers leave a little to be desired! I'd really like a meter to show helicopter damage so I know when to return to base for repairs!! Please!!

### 3/5 — Good game, but not balanced

*2012-09-19, version 1.0*

This would be a 5 star game if the difficulty wasn't o out of balance. Games are fun when challenging, but this is mission impossible. Update for a difficulty tweak. That is the only thing keeping this game from becoming a legend.

### 4/5 — needs more

*2012-02-06, version 1.0*

level five us hard. they havedouble troops what to do? please add a renforcement button so we can bring in more troops👍👍👍👍

### 4/5 — AMAZING

*2011-11-09, version 1.0*

it's full action and realistic it would be better if you had more control of ground units I am stuck on level 9 update for more levels and control of ground units

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2019-01-16*

The game won’t let you go past level 4.
Something is wrong with it.

Don’t waste your money like I did.

 Very  disappointed.

I want my money back.

### 1/5 — It’s pretty good but when you first get it do not do skirmish

*2018-08-11*

I have been looking for an iPad Vietnam war game for a looooong so this was great. It was working fine until I tried to pass lvl four it said I failed before I got lift of my Huey. Do not try skirmish if you are a beginner you will die. I wish this game was free because it’s not worth 3 bucks for this but I do enjoy so ya.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2017-08-20, version 1.4.3*

By mission four its over because of a glitch.

### 1/5 — Great Idea, Poorly Developed

*2016-10-22, version 1.4.3*

I love the era of Vietnam. I especially love the aviation side. So when I searched and found this game, I figured it's gotta be worth the small amount of $2.99. Dig side-scrollers and love the Huey. Bad news is, I was wrong. 

Graphics are low quality, physics are unrealistic, controls are poorly set up, and the helicopter glitches every time you change directions in a very unrealistic manor. Campaign is not a campaign. It's the same level every time with a different order of the limited two tasks (kill bad guys or cap a flag). No immersion whatsoever. It's says the word "simulator" in the description somewhere. Don't be fooled by this word, as there is nothing of the simulator type involved in this game. This would need to be a free game in order for it to be slightly worth the HD space. 

I wanted to like this game, but there isn't anything to like about it. Which makes me very sad. I would never recommend this to anyone. Wish I could get my money back. Save yourself the pain and suffering of wasting 10 minutes of your life buying, downloading, uninstalling, writing a bad review and just don't buy it. It would need a lot of work to make it worth the price tag. Not likely to happen.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2013-11-19, version 1.2*

Really bad on every level

### 1/5 — Update it already

*2012-09-13, version 1.0*

Controls need to be more smooth and soldiers need to react more realistically and u need more control over ground units. Other than few tweeks it's a highly addictive and well
Made game. Even though I'm stuck on level 5. Update soon.

### 2/5 — Level 8 broken

*2022-07-17*

Get to mission 8 and you fail the mission immediately. Good game, difficult to turn helicopter around and control aim of rockets. Please fix level 8.

### 2/5 — E

*2022-03-15, version 1.4.3*

I like chicken nuggets

### 2/5 — Broke

*2021-07-04*

Mission 4 broken. As soon as take off the mission fails

### 2/5 — Not

*2018-12-27, version 1.4.3*

Worth 3 dollars

### 5/5 — Good Game but needs a hot fix

*2015-08-31, version 1.4.1*

if you reach Major General in the skirmish campaign the screen will keep showing rank so you can't play anymore, the next thing is in the regular campaign the rescue missions say there aren't enough troops to complete the mission but there are more than enough to, the game would be the best app out there if the creators would fix these two major problems

### 5/5 — Great game

*2014-01-23, version 1.2*

It's a great game and worth the money. It every missions a challenge and makes you feel like your in Veitnam.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2012-08-08, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Unique concept and fun gameplay

*2012-08-03, version 1.0*

Not every day you come across a game that makes troop transportation the primary emphasis.  Very fun.  Level nine is a pain but will keep trying.

### 5/5 — good game

*2012-06-27, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Very Good!

### 5/5 — Update

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2012-02-19*

Good but a few things missing, needs music and  more missions but all round good fun.

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2011-12-08, version 1.0*

Best game ever

### 4/5 — Great game

*2015-07-18, version 1.4.1*

The game is great but some missions end to quickly because the units die to fast and the background music keeps turning on by its self even tho it's shut off in the options.
