  • Realistic and challenging WW2 aircraft and tank combat simulator.
  • Good physics and flight controls, immersive cockpit views, and accurate aircraft damage modeling.
  • Large variety of aircraft and vehicles from multiple nations, with historic battles and large maps.
  • Extremely grindy progression with many planes and vehicles locked behind paid gold currency; limited gold conversion frustrates free players.
  • Buggy saving and server connectivity issues causing frequent loss of earned XP, gold, and purchased items.
  • Controls rely solely on gyroscope tilt, which is difficult to master and not adjustable to joystick or touch controls; causes player frustration.
  • graphics

    253 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    66% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The game features generally praised graphics that are realistic and detailed, especially in plane models and cockpits, offering an immersive WWII flight experience suitable for mobile devices. However, users note that terrain and ground textures are often underwhelming and suggest improvements like enhanced lighting, water effects, and more detailed environments. While graphics hold up well for mobile standards, some players desire further upgrades to match higher-end simulators and express concerns about performance and outdated visuals in certain areas.

    • “The graphics are amazing, and the plane models are becoming increasingly detailed which I really appreciate.”
    • “From Pearl Harbor to Stalingrad all the way to Battle of Britain, the Blitz, to the 1944 D-Day land, new update: new graphics, stunning lighting.”
    • “Graphics are amazing, realism is crazy... you won't regret downloading this game...”
    • “But you must improve the graphics of the terrains because it looks bad as hell.”
    • “The graphics are also quite potato.”
    • “Not worth giving it your time, you'll suffer, the graphics are if they were from 2010, and it is still laggy.”
  • gameplay

    97 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    59% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 3% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for its realism, physics, and immersive controls, resembling a mobile version of war thunder with engaging dogfights and flight mechanics. However, many users highlight issues with grindy progression, pay-to-win elements due to gold-only aircraft unlocks, unbalanced matchmaking, and a lack of easier controls like joysticks. Despite some bugs and glitches, the core gameplay remains enjoyable and rewarding for those willing to invest time and effort.

    • “I'd happily recommend it if this changes, because the gameplay, physics, and flight controls are really well done.”
    • “Realistic and challenging but fun gameplay.”
    • “Physics are spot on, graphics are great, and gameplay is awesome!”
    • “However, gradually the ability to upgrade the aircraft models has shifted more towards having to buy with money rather than earned points from gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay of this is similar to War Thunder, but since it's a mobile game, there are things that it's lacking such as better terrain or graphics.”
    • “5 stars if you fix the bullet mechanics, I was a B-25 and a dive bomber exploded me mid air, all guns do very unreal damage but the game overall is nice, except the main guns.”
  • story

    66 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 74% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The game's story aspect is widely viewed as limited, with only one campaign mission and a heavy focus on repetitive training missions. Players express a strong desire for more varied and extensive single-player campaign content, including historically inspired missions, additional offline modes, and diverse mission types. Many also highlight issues with mission glitches, lack of progression, and pay-to-win mechanics impacting access to story content.

    • “This game is really good but I felt like the developers could have done so much, like campaign missions that are really long. All the WW2 dogfights and bombings could have been added to the campaign mode, but overall this is a really good game.”
    • “Could be more planes from each country, maybe a few more missions - I have been playing this game for a serious minute, it's fun, one of my favorites.”
    • “I really really really love this game. This is the best game I ever played. Can you add story mode please...”
    • “The training missions often glitch, causing both the player and enemy to explode immediately upon spawning, preventing mission completion.”
    • “On the bomber hunt training mission, only one bomber spawns instead of two, making it impossible to fully complete the mission objectives.”
    • “Many missions besides training are locked behind a premium subscription, leaving players only able to access slow-progressing vehicle unlocks and multiplayer modes.”
  • monetization

    63 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    5% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 81% negative mentions

    The monetization system heavily relies on gold, which is primarily obtained through slow, low-reward ad watching or costly in-app purchases, creating a frustrating pay-to-win environment for free players. Many users report buggy or ineffective ad rewards, strict gold-to-XP conversion limits, and overpriced aircraft, prompting calls for increased ad rewards, more gold-earning options, and reduced paywalls to improve accessibility and fairness.

    • “Very, very good, but with fewer in-game purchases and just an upfront fee instead, like other games, this rating would be 5 stars.”
    • “It's a great simulator by a good studio but the in-app purchases are just annoying.”
    • “Otherwise, I think it's good but the microtransactions for gold and to buy new planes, tanks, and other important things is not good, so I guess this is the lite version in a way.”
    • “The devs went a step further and ruined the watch ads to get gold method because the greedy devs weren't making enough money as is from ads.”
    • “Most aircraft cost gold, and the only way to get gold is to either buy gold or sell your soul to ads, that only give 10 gold, with most aircraft costing 2000+ gold.”
    • “You are given a limited rate of exchange for a while, then once it runs out, you either pay to exchange more XP for gold, or be forced to watch annoying ads that give you only 20 gold whereas vehicles cost around thousands of gold.”
  • stability

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from numerous stability issues including frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing during gameplay, especially in takeoff and control mechanics. Ads and account-related features are often buggy, preventing purchases and progress. While gameplay is praised, these persistent bugs significantly detract from the overall experience.

    • “Controls freeze when I spawn, making tank gameplay miserable; bombs killing tanks from unrealistic distances contribute to a buggy and unenjoyable experience.”
    • “Gameplay is fantastic, but there are too many glitches preventing plane and upgrade purchases; attempts to fix result in loss of XP and gold without resolving issues.”
    • “The game often crashes or freezes, particularly in historic mode, despite the device functioning properly.”
  • grinding

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is widely criticized for being excessively difficult and time-consuming, with many players encountering issues like lost XP and limited gold conversion that hinder progress without payment. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the grind often feels unfair, especially for free-to-play users, leading to frustration due to slow rewards, paywalls, and technical problems. Some players recommend the game despite the grind but urge improvements to balance progression and save progress reliably.

    • “Grinding is quite hard, especially for the poor souls who went down the US & German fighter tree.”
    • “This game used to be a lot of fun, but ever since the newest update the devs made everything so grindy (you need to play for 3 months to get 1 aircraft or pay for it). The gameplay itself is pretty good, it just used to be somewhat easier to get XP; now you have to grind for an eternity.”
    • “The game not being F2P player friendly which slaps you with paywalls on every tech tree, so no matter how much grinding you do, you still have to pay up to get all the planes.”
  • optimization

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 36% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The game generally runs smoothly with good graphics across devices, but users highlight issues with inconsistent aircraft performance related to altitude and unbalanced gameplay. Some maps suffer from poor optimization, causing lag on certain devices, and there is room for improvement in graphics detail and game mechanics to enhance overall performance and player experience.

    • “The maps and planes look great and all, and the game runs smoothly.”
    • “Good game runs smoothly thanks to its awesome developers. It was a pay-to-win kind, but the devs understood and fixed it at least a little. It's skill that matters. Outstanding developers of this game, underrated. The game should really optimize more as most new maps are unplayable due to high graphics or resolution—please fix it because this game has started dying.”
    • “Overall game performance is awesome.”
    • “Very unbalanced gameplay with planes being leagues better than others, and lack of proper optimization causing severe lag on some maps.”
    • “Bad stall simulation causing inconsistent post-stall maneuvers, poor hitboxes making head-ons very unfun, difficult gold grinding, and broken tech trees lazily optimized to encourage premium currency purchases.”
    • “The absence of altitude-based performance makes aircraft fly at 100 km/h above 6000 meters, where planes are usually faster than at sea level.”
  • music

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback; some users appreciate the nostalgic old lobby tunes and desire the return of classic battle music, while others find the current soundtrack repetitive and lacking music control options. Several players express frustration over the inability to mute or customize music, which impacts their enjoyment. Overall, the music is considered enjoyable by some, but its repetitiveness and lack of flexibility are common criticisms.

    • “Great music, authentic controls, lots of fun!”
    • “It's fun and the music is just very good and there is also tank.”
    • “I really like the old lobby music and I hope the old battle music is added in too.”
    • “Beyond the uber annoying music that is constantly repeating over and over, I spent $5.00 to upgrade to a better plane only to have it removed the following day and asked to be purchased again.”
    • “It's a fun game, but the only things I don't like that bring it from a 5 star to a 4 star is that you can't turn off the music and it exits the battle whenever you leave the app, even for a sec.”
    • “It is too glitchy, I press the 'please select the location to spawn' and nothing happens, and when I get out of the app I still hear the music, so I had to undownload it.”
  • atmosphere

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is occasionally immersive, enhanced by active multiplayer and detailed models, but is somewhat undermined by basic graphics and unrealistic engine and gun sounds that detract from the overall experience.

    • “The atmosphere can be immersive at times and the multiplayer always seems to be active.”
    • “This is a great game, especially the models and atmosphere of the game and chaos.”
    • “Overall, the graphics even on max settings are basic at best, and the gameplay, engine sounds, and guns let the game down. This takes away from the atmosphere and entertainment, as the sounds don't resemble real guns or planes.”
  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is well-received, with players appreciating that even bugs contribute to the entertainment rather than detracting from it.
