Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gunship Sequel at 4.5 against Air War's 3.5. Gunship Sequel also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 137) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Air War's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
