Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: US Army Helicopter Simulator at none against Fighter Pilot's 5. US Army Helicopter Simulator also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Fighter Pilot's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
