CAPTIVATING COMBAT Casus Belli features a variety of exciting elements to bring dynamism and realism to war simulation. These include: ● The ability to fire decoys, allowing you to deflect incoming missiles and clear the way for a safe escape as a pilot. Decoys are typically flares or chaff, designed to attract the attention of missiles. By firing a decoy, the pilot can create a false target, leading the missile astray and buying time to escape. ● While under attack, pilots have the ability to eject from a plane, putting you in the position in turn, to be able to rescue escaping pilots. ● Anti-missile systems for tanks, putting you in the position to respond and defend against a barrage of enemy bombs.

STRAP IN, PILOT. YOUR SORTIE STARTS NOW. You command an F-16 Viper patrolling the Gulf — and hostile drones are swarming the sector. Lock them in your sights, lead with the crosshair, and rain missiles until the skies are clear. Every sortie is 30 seconds of pure arcade combat, extended by every kill you land. ■ SMART LOCK-ON Center the gold crosshair on a target, hold for half a second, and your system auto-acquires the lock. Fire a homing missile and track the impact through real-time telemetry. ■ HIGH-VALUE TARGETS Watch for drones marked in gold. Destroy them within 8 seconds to earn a 3x score bonus — but they're faster, they dodge harder, and they don't wait around. ■ EXTENDABLE SORTIES Every kill adds time to your timer. Chain kills, survive longer, climb higher. Each wave gets more aggressive. ■ COMBO MULTIPLIER Stack kills fast to multiply your score. Hesitate and your combo resets. Good pilots keep the pressure on. ■ HANGAR UPGRADES Spend Intel Points earned in combat to upgrade your jet across five paths: • Engine — top speed and acceleration • Airframe — turn rate and maneuverability • Avionics — lock range and targeting precision • Payload — missile cooldown reduction • Sensors — radar and detection range ■ COSMETIC LOADOUTS Customize your trails, explosions, and crosshair style in the Hangar. Earn new looks by ranking up. ■ GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS Three competitive boards: High Score, Total Kills, and Best Wave. Sign in to compete worldwide. ■ DAILY CHALLENGES Fresh objectives every 24 hours. Complete all three for bonus Intel Points and exclusive cosmetic rewards. ■ PILOT RANKS Climb from Cadet through 12 ranks up to Ace Commander as your lifetime kill count grows. Your rank travels with your account. ■ MILITARY HUD Authentic FLIR targeting overlay, radar sweeps, gun-cam telemetry, and corner brackets on every tracked drone. Lock-on boxes turn red when acquired. Gold when High-Value. ■ SIGN IN, SYNC UP Sign in with Apple ID or Google to back up your progress to the cloud and compete globally. Prefer no sign-up? Launch sorties as a Guest and play instantly — upgrade anytime without losing progress. ■ BOTH ORIENTATIONS Play in portrait for one-handed sessions or landscape for full cinematic view.
