Engage in dogfights with a challenging AI, thanks to the mission editor, you can decide to fight either in a 1v1 or in a huge battle with dozens of airplanes. I am the only person working on it. You can check the discord server to be aware of new update and chat a bit with me and a lot of experienced players. Don't be fooled by the low-poly style , the game uses realistic physics , airfoil based and as close as possible to the reality ! It can be considered as the most realist WW2 flight sim available on mobile.
