story8 positive mentions
stability7 negative mentions
  • Good flight model that balances between simulation and accessibility, making it enjoyable for casual and experienced simmers.
  • Impressive VR support delivering smooth performance and immersive cockpit experiences with clear visuals.
  • Beautiful aircraft modeling with detailed AV-8B Harrier and varied terrain including accurately rendered areas like the Mach Loop.
  • Lacks meaningful content such as missions, campaigns, and working dynamic campaign despite long early access duration.
  • Numerous technical issues including bugs, crashes, poor control mapping especially for HOTAS, and broken tutorials.
  • Development progress is very slow or stalled with lack of regular updates and poor communication from developers causing loss of confidence.
  • story
    92 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story and mission content are widely criticized for being incomplete, buggy, and lacking coherence, with many users reporting that training and combat missions do not work properly or are absent altogether. While the dynamic mission generator and editor show promise, the current state offers little meaningful campaign or mission progression, leaving the experience feeling unfinished and frustrating. Despite some enjoyable flight mechanics, the lack of structured narrative, tutorials, and reliable missions severely hampers gameplay immersion and satisfaction.

    • “Combat Air Patrol 2 for PC offers a dynamic story campaign allowing you to fly both individually and in co-op mode – you can join another player's campaign.”
    • “With a dynamic campaign like Falcon 4.0 and a community to create more missions, this game is just what the doctor ordered for this genre.”
    • “Dynamic campaign is a really awesome and remarkable feature, and with the mission planner you can create your own objectives to do.”
    • “The game is incomplete, and not at a playable state; there are no missions, enemies, or anything to do.”
    • “The campaign doesn't work, there are no combat missions, and there are still a lot of basic bugs (e.g. you can surf the waves of the ocean since the sim will forgive you hitting the water at a very small angle).”
    • “Very, very incomplete, what is here is buggy and broken (most of the training missions didn't even work); while it doesn't seem abandoned (the dev posts occasional updates) progress is so slow that after 4 years it's hard to have any hope this game might eventually go somewhere.”
  • graphics
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, ranging from impressive aircraft and terrain visuals with smooth performance and immersive cockpit details to criticisms of bugs, poor damage effects, and boxy building models. While many praise the graphical fidelity and VR support on mid-level PCs, some hardcore simmers find the visuals inferior compared to top-tier sims, and a few report frustrating glitches and subpar overall quality. Overall, the graphics show promise but still need refinement and optimization.

    • “No, but it really has some fantastic elements to it, clickable cockpits, a respectable flight model (not perfect, but let's not be pedantic), decent audio and I love the style of graphics and perspective within the sim.”
    • “The game has very impressive graphics, cockpit immersion is amazing without draining your PC.”
    • “Graphics are great and performance is really sharp on my mid-level machine.”
    • “Large amount of bugs, bad graphics, bad audio, horrible scenery.”
    • “Missed the point with this game, the graphics are not up to much. Took me a lot of googling to figure out how to even take off. Would love a refund.”
    • “Graphic poor, lack of tutorial on playing the game. Not anything like a sim, more arcade than sim. 1 out of 10, deleted it after an hour's frustration.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a semi-realistic flight simulation experience with detailed mechanics and realistic physics, appealing to fans of the genre. However, it is hindered by flawed tutorials, incomplete features, and unclear instructions that affect player comprehension and overall enjoyment.

    • “In terms of the mechanics, Combat Air Patrol 2 for PC is a semi-realistic game, comparable to titles such as Strike Fighters or IL-2 Sturmovik.”
    • “Although a set of simplifications were applied to the mechanics, flight physics are far from arcade here, which separates the game from console simulators like the Ace Combat series.”
    • “I loved flying the Harrier in X-Plane growing up, and this game nails the flight mechanics and adds incredible realism, especially given the small development team.”
    • “The game is currently plagued by a multitude of issues, including flawed tutorials, incomplete features, and a lack of clear instructions on gameplay.”
    • “When the gameplay is finally comprehended, it is often imperfect.”
    • “Only VR game after hundreds of DCs VR gameplay and dozens of VR games that causes it.”
  • stability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from numerous glitches and bugs that severely impact stability, causing crashes and frustrating progress, particularly in training missions. While some aspects run smoothly and occasional updates show developer activity, the overall stability remains poor and incomplete, with key features missing or malfunctioning.

    • “This new update for this game has glitches and cannot load the game at all.”
    • “Very, very incomplete; what is here is buggy and broken (most of the training missions didn't even work). Progress is so slow that after 4 years, it's hard to have any hope that this game might eventually go somewhere.”
    • “As I tried to move through the training missions (there's no training element, just judgement), the glitches and bugs leaped to the fore. I deleted the game after 2 hours of zero progress and frustration.”
  • optimization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game demonstrates excellent optimization, delivering smooth and sharp performance even on mid-level hardware, with high frame rates and clear visuals. It is largely bug-free and well-polished, though some features are not yet fully available. Overall, the optimization contributes significantly to a seamless and enjoyable experience.

    • “Graphics are great and performance is really sharp on my mid-level machine.”
    • “Bugs aside, the actual VR performance is excellent, the clarity of the view is top notch and the performance is butter smooth - no glitching or jumping.”
    • “Excellent performance; averaging 300fps on an i5 and GTX 970.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music is generally well-received, described as cool and rocking, contributing to the immersive and realistic atmosphere. However, some users feel it could be livelier and better integrated with gameplay elements like mission starts. Overall, the sound design, including effects and music, enhances the experience.

    • “In-game music is pretty cool.”
    • “Very realistic environment, excellent weather effects so far, great sounds, good flight physics, and the music rocks.”
    • “Though I wish they could work more on the music and mission start positions to make it livelier; the tower control keeps saying sniper 1, 2, 3... overall a nice game.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is hindered by a tedious initial setup, as none of the controls are pre-bound on any peripherals, requiring players to manually configure axes and buttons. This process can be time-consuming and confusing, especially for those unfamiliar with the Harrier.

  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional response to the game is one of surprise and frustration, as unexpected in-game mechanics, like an aircraft taking off without player input, disrupt immersion and control.
