You can only buy half a tank but it takes days to get there. Not enough in game currency. Missions are not open space and heavily rely on using auto guidance. Crash the landing you start all over minus the fuel. ### 2/5 — Has Potential. *2019-10-25, version 1.4.7* Was hoping this was better than Gunship Sequel: WW2 especially since their developer is useless. Slow game play, no device tilting - can be made so much better. ### 3/5 — Varoom !!! *2019-10-10, version 1.4.7* Pretty good so far !!! ### 3/5 — Cool game *2019-02-01, version 1.4.7* Crash a few times and you’re screwed. Fuel refill is more than you make after a few crashes. Try to force you to spend real money to continue. Other than that, cool game. ### 4/5 — Be a pilot *2017-06-04, version 1.3.9* This game sends you to the WW II. It's an exciting opportunity! I feel myself like a real pilot! Just wow! ### 5/5 — One of the best games about planes *2017-06-03, version 1.3.9* I appreciate the wide choice of plane models. The graphics and combat system are realistic. My son loves it even more. ### 4/5 — 4 *2017-06-02, version 1.3.9* I'd put 5 stars as the game is great but ads sometimes are too annoying. ### 4/5 — so.... *2017-06-02, version 1.3.9* It's so realistic and addictive, I just can't put my phone down ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Greed. ‘ pay or you no play’ *2020-04-25, version 1.4.7* You gotta buy fuel and ammo to play... no matter what, you are going to have to pay.. hate greedy people, get bent..uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Stop Wasting Our Money... *2020-03-24, version 1.4.7* This game has the worst form of monetizations. I just want enjoy this game without the need of buying energy and ammunition for every mission I play. I can’t progress with all missions because of how much energy and ammunition I spend for single mission. I am hoping that you remove the energy and ammunition counter and let me enjoy the game without the need of wasting money for something irrelevant. To make the game better, add free flight mode for training purposes... it will good... ### 1/5 — Lame *2020-01-15, version 1.4.7* Super limited game play without buying their stuff I’d rather see ads than this app. ### 1/5 — Clunky *2019-12-25, version 1.4.7* Unresponsive menu and clunky controls. I played it on an iPhone so maybe an iPad works better? I barely got into the training mode and had to bail. Also doesn’t look like there’s a cockpit view. You can’t really call it a simulator without a cockpit view. It’s a half-assed shooter at best. ### 1/5 — Unrealistic *2018-07-22, version 1.3.9* A bomber can NOT take on 4000 shots from a 50 caliber machine gun in the fuel tank and continue flying. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-07-07* Every time i go to enter a password the game crashes. Frustrated ### 1/5 — Crashes.... *2018-06-25, version 1.3.9* I have an IPhone 6+. When it requires an email I put it in. Next step is to select a handle. When you try to select game crashes. Come on FIX IT PLEASE ! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-06-18, version 1.3.9* The game crashes when I put my email in. ### 1/5 — Crashes after I enter email *2018-04-02, version 1.3.9* This game crashes everytime I enter my email address. ### 1/5 — Way to expensive *2017-01-27, version 1.3.2* The free game only gives you one plane... a crappy Brewster... after that you pay and pay... I bet this review never gets posted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Free Fuel recharge? *2025-10-11, version 1.4.7* Hi. I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Y’all have been a blessing for me. This game is AWESOME! However, I do have a suggestion, if it’s not to much trouble. Can the developers add a free 24-hour fuel recharge? Thanks Cadet Lieutenant Songbird. Also, where is the link to the music in the game? It’s AWESOME. 10 star rating. ### 5/5 — Free Fuel recharge? *2025-06-18* Hi. I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Y’all have been a blessing for me. This game is AWESOME! However, I do have a suggestion, if it’s not to much trouble. Can the developers add a free 24-hour fuel recharge? Thanks Cadet Lieutenant Songbird ### 5/5 — What music is on your app *2025-06-13* Hi. I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Y’all have been a blessing for me. I lost a game similar to this one and had been disappointed in that I could not play it anymore. Then I found this one. It’s AWESOME! I love everything about it, the game play, setting, music, and everything. Speaking of the music, where did you get the intro and in-game music. It’s beautiful. Thanks Cadet Lieutenant Songbird ### 5/5 — True Story *2020-03-19, version 1.4.7* This is the best WW2 dogfight game ever! It tells a True Story about an American fighter who is helping Great Britain to lead them to victory! ### 5/5 — Loads of fun!!! *2019-04-30, version 1.4.7* You’ve got to check this game out. Lots of fun and easy play. By far the best flight sim available for mobile devices. ### 5/5 — Use the training *2019-01-21, version 1.4.7* Great selection of aircraft. Fly the training missions a few times to really get the control you need. I crashed more than a couple of planes along the way. 👍 ### 5/5 — Ole Ace *2018-12-30, version 1.4.6* Really nice graphics. Good online tutorials. I’m just starting but it’s fun to see the improved performance as you upgrade aircraft type. Great game! ### 5/5 — Best free *2017-06-04, version 1.3.9* This is the best flight simulator I could find that was free. Graphics are very impressive, though the scale can be amusingly wrong ### 5/5 — Almost like war thunder *2017-06-04, version 1.3.9* I a big fan of war thunder on PC. Now I can be a pilot using my iPhone as well. Really good feelings! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2017-06-03, version 1.3.9* Thanks to the developers I got much pleasure from this game. I really like the 13-th mission. As to the graphics, it's more than OK. I wonder If I had unlimited fuel.. :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
