How it feels

A straightforward arcade flight sim set in WWII, where you pilot a dive bomber through historically-grounded missions with a focus on attacking ground targets and enemy planes, with an option for more challenging hardcore play.

What players say

Players compare it to Wings of Fury, a simple arcade dive-bomber from 2007. It lacks widescreen support. Some enjoy the upgrade grind, but others say fuel and ammo run out too fast, the plane is fragile, and turning near the runway forces an automatic landing.
