## What is Warplanes?

Be a pioneer of aerial warfare in Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces. Fight above the battlefields of World War I and become the ultimate Sky Ace!
The game will take you into the times when aviation was in its dawning of existence – the first Wright brothers machines went into the sky just 11 years before the Great War! Engineers were quickly adapting this brand new invention into military purposes while creating fascinating and sometimes oddly looking planes.
In Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces you take control of over 30 historical airplanes – including the Fokker Dr.I, famous for its pilot Manfred von Richthofen a.k.a. “Red Baron”. Others stemming from light fighters like the Airco DH.2 to an enormous 4-engine bomber like the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets – all planes can be customized and upgraded.
Choose between two modes suited for different playstyles and skillsets. In Pilot Mode you can simply focus on air combat, collecting and upgrading planes. Squadron Leader Mode adds an extra layer to the gameplay – apart from combat, you also need to manage resources, hire and train pilots and expand your base.
Two campaigns for Triple Entente and one for Central Powers will let you experience all major fronts of World War I – you’ll fly above most countries that participated in the conflict in various types of mission. Pilot fighters and bombers. Protect or destroy ground targets. Face mighty zeppelins and anti aircraft artillery to change the tides of war.

### 1/5 — Разворот

*2026-07-15*

Сделайте возможность развернуть самолет. Я на втором уровне из за того что не мог самолетом управлять все время проигрывал.

### 5/5 — Ashman64

*2026-07-10, version 1.6*

Great game but can you add actual trenchs on the battlefield like real WW1. It can be one of the objectives. Maybe it can even have an animation of men fighting. Thanks.

### 5/5 — The best WW1 flying game ever made.

*2026-05-26, version 1.6*

I love this idea of the game it is realistic and it fun. It is so cool when you shoot someone down. You will love to download it now if you want a good WW1 flying game ever made. And no problem with the game 100/100 :)

### 5/5 — Awesome game, but needs upgrades

*2026-03-15, version 1.5.6*

This game is really good, but it needs more to it. It would be great if there was an online version of this game, because the bots are sometimes easy. Also being able to go POV would be a great feature on mobile. And lastly having more plane variants would be great. Overall, this game is great and I would recommend it.

### 5/5 — Sopwith 5F1 Dolphin With Possibly Some Others Maybe

*2026-03-11, version 1.5.6*

You Never Know But Please And IF Ever Hopefully Someday Soon Add The Sopwith 5F1 Dolphin I Love IT Better Compared TO The Sopwith Camel It’s Got A Quick Turning Radius And It’s A Better Dogfighter Compared TO The Sopwith F1 Camel Please Also Add The FE2b And Maybe The Halberstadt DII And Two Seater Halberstadt CL.II Maybe Even The Two Seater Hannover CL.IIIa Sorry But Sadly Never Ever Enough Resources TO Add Those Remember What You Guys Told Never Say Never Right Don’t Hesitate TO Ask Any Attempts IF What Really Want See Added TO The Game IN The Future

### 3/5 — The subtitles for the voices (at least the German ones) don’t work anymore

*2026-03-07, version 1.5.6*

Not kidding.

### 5/5 — Your games are the literally the best !!

*2026-01-31, version 1.5.6*

Your games are very good, but you should add a feature that allows you to add new guns to your planes and new planes overall

### 1/5 — Really good game but

*2026-01-03, version 1.5.6*

A pov view of the cockpit if you can do that that would be great 👍 and more plain variants, please, please, please

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2025-07-15, version 1.5*

This game is very fun. It has two modes for two different types of players. One side is strategic and one side is more casual. So if you wanna be strategic this game is good, if you wanna be casual and simply shoot down planes, this game is also good for you. The planes are also customizable. You can make a plane red, black, any color of your choice. You can even make the planes have any nationality that is from that alliance it’s from. In the central powers you can make any plane German, Italian, ottoman, etc. On the triple entente you can make any plane American, British, Belgian, French, etc. I have only seen one con and that is the dumb Ai. They can crash into you. It happened to me lol. So far my favorite mobile game.

### 2/5 — Why so slow???

*2025-07-14, version 1.5*

Graphics: I’ve seen worse. Gameplay: I almost thought that it was a scam at first! Game altogether: good…?
