Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Navy Skies at 5.0 against Heli Attack 3D's 3.9. Navy Skies also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Heli Attack 3D's advantage is ratings volume (137 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
