The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with many players noting that missions become repetitive and monotonous over time. While the graphics and gameplay mechanics are praised, the absence of a cohesive narrative or campaign mode leaves players feeling disconnected from the experience, leading to a desire for more engaging storylines and mission diversity. Suggestions for improvement include adding historical missions, character development, and a more structured campaign to enhance the overall narrative experience.
“The missions are amazing and so unique, as are the landscapes.”
“Single-handedly, the best feature is the community missions that give so much depth and replayability.”
“This game is wonderful, thanks to the developer for such efforts, but we need to develop the project further so that it becomes even better; I would like more nations and interactivity, as well as a variety of missions.”
“The game is good, but the concept is very lame; all missions are quite the same and repairing costs are a problem.”
“It's only just the storyline; it's not even there, it's just pointless dogfighting and destruction.”
“The game has excellent graphics and great controls, but the missions are long and boring.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its excellent graphics, smooth controls, and engaging mechanics, making it addictive and enjoyable for many players. However, some users express concerns about repetitive missions, unrealistic flight mechanics, and a desire for more diverse gameplay elements, such as additional aircraft and multiplayer options.

“The gameplay feels real and the music adds intensity.”
“Great graphics and gameplay, with lots of great classic aircraft to fly.”
“The mechanics are great and the diversity of aircraft is amazing.”
“What makes me dislike the game is its repetitive gameplay; you get into a mission, do objectives, kill some fighters/bombers, defend your base, etc. It's not that enjoyable.”
“Once you have mastered the controls and gameplay, it becomes very samey.”
“With the choice between 4 types of missions and very limited weapon selection, it got very repetitive with less than mediocre gameplay.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the limited and non-intrusive nature of ads, which are often optional and provide in-game rewards. However, some users have expressed frustration over occasional intrusive ads that can freeze the game, as well as the presence of microtransactions for unlocking certain content. Overall, while the game is generally seen as fair in its monetization approach, there are concerns about the balance between ads and gameplay experience.
“I loved it, but it would be awesome if auto-pilot was added for when I switch to tail gunner. The pilot could take care of the front while I defend my rear. Other than that, I really have no complaints at all. This game is great, and yeah, there are some in-app purchases, but it's not a pay-to-win game. I got all the planes without paying a single dollar; the game provides more than enough and also makes it harder.”
“There are almost no ads.”
“Good game... no ads in between while playing.”
“It's unfortunate that some planes are locked away with microtransactions.”
“This otherwise great game has 'aggressive' advertising; by 'aggressive', I mean that some ads literally force the player out of the game (after finally getting out of the 'hard sell'), one has to restart the game, without any 'rewards'.”
“Could be a great game except all the ads and it keeps crashing while playing the ads.”

Most players have not experienced significant problems, indicating a well-optimized game.
“Overall, the graphics are fine, the planes perform well, and I haven't encountered any glitches.”
“Only one problem, I play pilot mode and after I played a certain amount of levels, every time I click on the naval option to do a mission, the whole game freezes and I have to close the app.”
“It is a very fun game and the only thing I don't like is that it glitches a lot, but other than that, it's a very fun game.”
“When I try to play the mission, the game freezes; other than that, everything works perfectly.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the limited gold rewards from missions and the reliance on real money for upgrades. Many feel that the grind becomes increasingly burdensome as they progress, requiring excessive playtime to earn enough resources for meaningful upgrades, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“Though there are flaws as well, because the longer you play, the more grindy it gets as you always only get 15 gold from missions.”
“The whole upgrade system with pilots and exchanging different resources and having to build stuff is tedious and an annoying way to make it freemium.”
“Will be a great game if developers were not so avaricious and if they included AI, which is currently lacking. Gold farming is much more difficult; you need to play 20-30 times if you want to buy a mid-tier fighter and another 20-30 just to upgrade it. The best planes go to the premium.”

The music in the game enhances the overall intensity and realism of the gameplay, particularly in the WWII pilot experience, with many praising its contribution to the atmosphere. However, some users noted that while the music is generally good, it can become repetitive and lacks variety, particularly in the sound design related to the planes. Overall, the music is seen as a strong element, but there is room for improvement in its diversity and depth.
“The gameplay feels real and the music adds intensity.”
“Amazing WWII front seat pilot experience with good graphics, music, and sound effects.”
“Best fighter plane game; it can even become better with a little bit of good music, improved graphics, a little bit of story, and new missions.”
“The sound is just fine, but the sound of the planes has about 7 musical notes repeated over and over, which tells a tale of your shortly recorded experience.”
“The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it less engaging during gameplay.”

The game is considered fun and highly replayable, though some users criticize the decision to place a significant portion of plane customization behind a paywall, which may detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the inclusion of more playable scenarios enhances its replay value.
“It's a very fun and replayable game, but putting half of the customization for the planes behind a paywall is just goofy.”
“There are more playable scenarios available.”
“The game lacks diverse scenarios, making it feel repetitive after the first playthrough.”
“Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to replay it.”
“The limited choices and outcomes mean that replaying the game feels more like a chore than an adventure.”

Players find the game's humor enjoyable, noting that it can become amusingly easy at times. However, there is a desire for increased challenge, suggesting that making enemies more powerful with each new plane could enhance the comedic experience.
“As an experienced player, I found this game to be hilariously easy at times.”
“This game is genuinely funny to play, but could you make the enemies more powerful each time we unlock a new plane?”
