### 4/5 — Needs more countries

*2026-07-29, version 2.5*

Well, first I’d like to say this game is great, but it could use a little bit of modifications. There are three countries that I want you to add one of them is optional the two I really hope you can add the first one is Italy and the reason why I’m saying this is because Italy was one of the major axis’s powers during World War II and I hope that you can acknowledge that by adding that into game the next one is the Chinese. The Chinese also played a crucial role inside World War II and they did have some amazing planes such as the P40 Warhawk that they used for the flying tigers. don’t forget the shark face and the hawk three by plane. China was a huge part of the allies and I hope you can add that. Finally the optional one is Canada it was an amazing country inside the war sending pilots to the RAF to defend Europe against German bombers. apart from that amazing game, but I hope you can answer my request.

### 4/5 — Good game, one small issue.

*2026-07-14, version 2.5*

The sb2c helldiver in this game has no rear defensive gunner, but in real life it has two machine guns, all in all this is a really good game that clearly took a lot of research and I respect it.

### 4/5 — Really good game but a few questions

*2026-07-03, version 2.5*

Let’s start by saying this game is good - really good for a free mobile game, it exceeds expectations ; it has a wide variety of fighters and bombers from different country’s and  they are really fun to play with. 
There are a few improvements that could be made though for example when in a dogfight or when you are divebombing/ just shooting at something you can just “ lock on “ to it - this makes the game far to easy and I suggest you should get rid of this feature, also I would really like to maybe see some bigger bombs such as a nuke you could drop out of the b29 on a city - speaking of city’s I think that maybe Berlin or London would be a really good map in the RAF and Luftwaffe modes also to make it even more realistic I think you should add a feature where you are able to kamikaze into boats with Japanese planes without just failing the mission also I would like a feature where you are able to buy the same plane more than once to make a squadron of the same bombers or fighters for example also another really good feature on the bombers would be where you are able to drop all of you bombload at once instead of just spamming the button - that would make it more convenient and realistic.
If you have read this far then thank you for taking my views into account and I hope to maybe see these in the future - as I said it is really good game already thank you developers keep up the good work!

### 4/5 — Добавьте пожалуйста в игру бомбандировшик ту 95

*2026-06-25*

Игра классная куча самолётов но Есть один минус иногда очень лагает Нет ну как бы по себе игра классная как бы так сказать просто добавьте самолёты там бомбардировщики премиум класса такие как у 95 би 29 супер скорость ну не знаю там ну разные самолёты времён Великой отечественной холодной войны Не ну игра в принципе норм советую скачивайте разрабы большая просьба сделайте так чтобы там были не одни теже миссии разные миссии ну для того чтобы как бы так сказать можно было покупать новые самолёты сделайте пожалуйста противников прям очень мощными очень 80 поним прям очень трудно попасть было в принципе до начат не надо играю не онлайн там можно всё легко заработать не ну короче игра топ спасибо за классный контент

### 3/5 — Controller Support

*2026-06-17, version 2.5*

Please add controller support for the Backbone controllers.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-05-27, version 2.5*

So i think you should add more planes like the b-24 and more versions of the air craft and the aircraft that you have to pay for i think you should not have planes locked behind payment and make it so you can have all the customization like the colours instead of them being behind payment too but other than that it is a good game

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-05-24, version 2.5*

I have been playing this for hours on end for days and it is still not boring. The game has a ton of planes and mechanics to make it fun but a little challenging. I think to make this game even better they could add harder mechanics to fly and drop bombs like radar and making plane formations. Also in the US campaign I really wish they had the P-61 black widow for night battles, it would look epic. Anyways great game having lots of fun. 5 stars

### 4/5 — Por favor agregar el Horten Ho 229

*2026-05-19, version 2.5*

Excelente juego , solo falta que le agreguen el Horten Ho 229

### 5/5 — AI improvement

*2026-05-04, version 2.5*

So, I enjoy playing this game, but why not improve it a little? How about upgrading the AI of the other planes in your team. Like, when dogfighting, make them use cannons, or make them destroy ground targets(not just buildings) with bombs! It will be much easier and less annoying for the player. And maybe, this will make the game somewhat better.

### 5/5 — Топ

*2026-05-01*

Сбил больше 1000 самолётов

### 5/5 — Absolutely cinema

*2026-04-22, version 2.5*

What can I say he cooked

### 5/5 — Лучшая игра

*2026-04-16*

Игра отличная редко встречаю игры про самолёты с АДЕКВАТНОЙ УПРАВЛЕНИЕ и много самолётов но я бы хотел чтобы были побольше наций Италии и Швеции   Ну и самолетов побольше и повреждений самолёта например пожар который будет длится где то 10 секунд  убивая хп самолёта и повреждений двигатель из за которого самолёт будет медленно летать и ище повреждения крыльев которых можно отправить их на починку  ну и Более адекватных Ии чтобы были поумнее разрабы пожалуйста увидите этот комментарий

### 4/5 — Need more aircraft

*2026-03-30, version 2.4*

I have to say,this game could be rated 5 star but I put it at four because. 1:Too little aircraft. 2:add landing gear physics

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-03-29, version 2.4*

This game is great I’ve had it for quite a few years but I have one request, PLEASE ADD THE LITTLE BOY AND THE FAT MAN ATOMIC BOMBS PLEASE

### 5/5 — Life Hack

*2026-03-29, version 2.4*

Das Spiel ist sehr realistisch, was die Grafik, die Motorkühlung und die Maschinenpistolenkühlung angeht, aber ich habe auch einen Life Hack herausgefunden, wenn die Motorkühlung eintrifft, kann man ins Flugzeugmenü gehen und auf das Flugzeug tippen, was man gerade fliegt, und dann ist die Motorkühlung wieder weg, und das die ganze Zeit, dann juckt die Motorkühlung nicht mehr, echt nice

### 4/5 — (PLEASE READ)Great game but some things should be changed

*2026-03-17, version 2.4*

The game is great I’ve been playing it for years and bought all the premium planes and have done over thousands of missions but there are some changes that need to be made.One change that should be made is there should be more variety of landscapes,biomes, and seasons.To add on I think that there should be more planes and a option of how hard each mission is, for example if you do normal you should get a normal amount of gold but if you do easy or hard the gold amount of each mission should very.The graphics are good for the most part but it would be better if the physics where better for example if you bomb a bridge or tree it should explode.The game could also be better if there was a larger variety of missiles and bombs.With this there should also be different explosions to show how big a bomb is or how fast you were going when you crash.I think there should also be more types of vehicles for example 3 different types of anti air craft guns.It would also be cool to see the people/npcs in the vehicles or manning the anti aircraft gun.It would also be nice if there was a bigger variety of enemy’s.A mission option should be available were you are on a recon mission(Once a day limit but gives a lot of gold).These features would make the game a lot funnier.Also it would be really cool if you made a similar game but more modern with the same ui but different planes such as f-14 tomcat,f-22 raptor,a-10 warthog,b-2 spirt stealth bomber,f-35 lighting 2,sr-71 blackbird (special missions only), f-15 eagle,b-1 lancer, and the b-52 stratofortress.With this there should also be more modern vehicles and buildings.Please do these things I spent so long typing this review.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t even control it

*2026-06-27, version 2.5*

War planes is impossible to control on iPads, but on phones and it is easy I don’t know why

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-06-20, version 2.5*

This game needs more nations way more planes and just make it gunner

### 1/5 — Not worth your time.

*2026-05-31, version 2.5*

This game is overran with ads. I downloaded the game on my phone. I'm mentioning my phone because is relevant to the story. As soon as I began playing, the ads started popping up regularly. Then you have to wait until the ads fully finish before they allow you to click the "X" to exit. This happens over and over and over. 
Developers must realize that if this is downloaded on the phone is because the play time someone has is limited and cannot be waged with ads. 
I gave it one star for this, but I had the choice I would've given -9 stars.

### 1/5 — Управление угг…

*2026-05-02*

Неуправляемая игра

### 1/5 — 还可以，就是有点毛病 It's okay, but there is a little problem.

*2026-03-02, version 2.4*

游戏是好游戏，就是中文翻译有问题，比如“战斗机（fighter）”翻译成了“斗机”，其他毛病就是游戏内充值有点多，但考虑到游戏是免费的，可以理解，我打一颗星主要也是翻译问题，毕竟我的母语是中文希望开发者可以对翻译上点心，毕竟这个游戏以前是没有反应问题的，我认为翻译问题可能只是一个ui的bug

The game is a good game, but there is a problem with the Chinese translation. For example, "战斗机（fighter）" is translated into "斗机". The other problem is that there are a little too many recharges in the game, but the game is free, it is understandable. My one-star is mainly a translation problem. After all, my native language is Chinese. I hope the developer can give a little attention to the translation. After all, there was no response problem in this game before. I think the translation problem may be just a bug of ui.

### 1/5 — Too much advertisement

*2024-12-24, version 2.3*

Did pay to play with out advertisement but it is again in the game.

### 1/5 — The game trying to charge me twice

*2024-12-22, version 2.3*

I bought this game about a year ago and I uninstalled it, still on iCloud but when I try to install it back it asks for my card.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2024-12-11, version 2.3*

The majority of missions regardless of what aircraft you choose the thing just dives and you are unable to get any height. I’ve given up on it

### 1/5 — Plz fix this game

*2024-06-11, version 2.3*

This game is just trash. Take it off the App Store

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-29, version 2.5.2*

Great game, love the challenge when in hard mode and is very fun. However, one thing I would add to the game is incorporating take off to start the mission and landing the plane after. I think it would add a lot more realism and challenge to the game, and please add different missions so that it isn’t so repetitive. Thank you

### 5/5 — Amazing for all ages smart enough    So 10-anything older

*2026-07-29, version 2.5*

The best

### 5/5 — 10/10 game

*2026-07-23, version 2.5*

THE STUFF U CAN BUY IS SO CHEAP BUT SO SOOOOOOO OVERPOWERED… LIKE FOR 8$ I CAN GET 2800 GOLD… WHICH LETS U BUY THE 2 BEST PLANES IN THE GAME . THIS GAME IS GOATED

### 5/5 — BRILLIANT

*2026-06-28, version 2.5*

I personally love the game because it’s so fun and realistic but you could’ve done with adding the V-1 and V-2 with say 1/3 per mission in the German campaign in the Japanese campaign please add kamikaze planes for the R.AF you need the dambusters Lancaster unlockable upon the completion of all R.A.F planes and a special dambusters mission the usaaf needs the atomic bomb adding and Russia requires an su-9 for and all campaigns a more accurate bomb weight and option for firebombs PS pls add the b-24 liberator your truly Connavar Lang to

### 5/5 — guuuuuut!!! 🛩️🛩️🛩️🚀🚀

*2026-06-19, version 2.5*

Das spiel ist eingach umwerfender als alle anderen flugsimulatoren.Es hat viele flugzeuge,manche sogar die auf dem papier waren aber nie fertiggestellt worden waren wie haunebu. Das spiel ist 💣. Nichts zu meckern ausser das einige flugzeuge geld kosten. Aber toll

### 5/5 — Как по мне игра хорошая.

*2026-06-15*

Мне понравилась игра,
из плюсов: реалистичность,управление удобное, вооружение есть разнообразное (пушки/пулеметы, ракеты, бомбы разный размеров, и даже торпеды), также хорошо что есть озвучка каждой нации а внизу субтитры.

Из минусов: торпеда всего лишь одна. Также здания (такие как шахты и заводы) очень живучие (по идее от попадания 250 кг бомбой здание разваливалось а тут нужно два-три раза попасть). также у некоторых наций нет хорошего вооружения (у японцев например) хотя это наверно вопрос уже к конструкторам. 

ну вообщем игра стоит того чтоб в неё можно было играть с увлечением.

### 5/5 — An interesting suggestion

*2026-06-14, version 2.5*

Well, why not try adding a cockpit point of view? That’d be more engaging for hardcore and regular players.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-06-09*

Très bon jeu mais ce serait mieux d’avoir plus de choix de pays

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2026-05-30, version 2.5*

The game is very good! I hope you add canada🇨🇦to the alliance team

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-05-29, version 2.5*

I love this game SO much,the graphics are amazing and I just love the animations of the planes that got shot down falling out of the sky!But there are some things that I wish where in the game.First of all, I think there should be a first person view.Second, I think there should be a customizable caricature in the game that you can control in the base OUTSIDE of the plane and if your plane gets shot down, I think there should be an eject button.And third, I think there should be a crater and fire when you drop a bomb.Any way, I think you’ll have to give it a shot.
