Players express a desire for more engaging content, including additional missions and a potential mission editor to enhance replayability and creativity.

“The game includes a variety of missions ranging from infiltration and reconnaissance to high-risk operations, requiring players to have both piloting and strategic skills.”
“The game is very good and pretty realistic but it would be nice if there were new missions/maps and better/smarter AI; but other than that, I would recommend people play this game.”
