The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of a traditional campaign mode, leaving players feeling that the experience is repetitive and reliant on online multiplayer dogfights. Many users express a desire for more immersive missions and a structured narrative, suggesting that the addition of a campaign with engaging storylines and varied missions could significantly enhance the gameplay experience. Overall, while the gameplay mechanics are praised, the absence of a compelling story mode detracts from the game's potential.
“Great gameplay, realistic graphics, real sounds, and stunning storylines make an entertaining game that keeps the player engaged.”
“I suggest making more campaigns with missions in line to finish to get more stuff you need for upgrades... silver... tokens... parts.”
“Aside from all of those things, the game feels boring for not having solo campaign missions or an offline mode.”
“If there's no option for mission-based games without playing everybody online, this won't be worth it as constant dogfights online are just repetitive without missions on your own terms!”
“A campaign mode with a story would make it 5 stars!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious, often requiring a significant time investment to unlock new aircraft and progress, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Many reviewers express frustration with the slow advancement due to the introduction of multiple currencies and the high costs associated with upgrades, suggesting that a more balanced system or the option to purchase specific items would enhance the experience. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the grinding mechanics are seen as a major barrier to progression, leading to calls for improvements.
“What would make this game so much better (and worthy of a 5-star rating!) would be to shave off some of the sheer grinding players have to go through in order to obtain better aircraft.”
“It was hard enough grinding to get silver and gold to upgrade; now with plane parts, tokens, and blueprints, forget free-to-play grinding. Unless you pay, it's going nowhere.”
“Game play is good, graphics are nice, but time-locked loot boxes and high advancement costs make progression only possible through massive spending or countless hours of grinding.”

Players express disappointment with the game's music, noting a lack of war-themed tracks, particularly during missions, which detracts from the overall experience. Many wish for the ability to play their own music while gaming, as the absence of engaging sound effects and music is seen as a significant shortcoming. Overall, while the game has potential, enhancing the musical elements could greatly improve enjoyment.
“Amazing game! You should try to include some intense old war music in the menu during gameplay.”
“I really think if you include some WWII music within the game, like when the mission starts, it would really make it a whole lot more enjoyable.”
“The game was good, but since they stopped you from playing music at the same time as playing the game, I really hate this part of the game.”
“Please change it back so we don't have to choose between listening to music or playing the game.”

Overall, players appreciate the realistic aircraft flight and performance models, but they report issues with matchmaking consistency and high memory usage leading to crashes. While the game runs smoothly for many, there are calls for improved optimization, particularly in graphics quality and performance during complex actions, to enhance the overall gaming experience.
“Aircraft flight and performance models seem more realistic than in other flight sim games.”
“Pretty good game; it runs smoothly.”
“I like the fact that you can actually see the damage done to the aircraft and how it affects its performance during combat.”
“Really weird matchmaking; one game will be an easy kill where you take everyone out in seconds, and the next match you are hunted and destroyed within seconds. Plane performance is obviously throttled to ensure that you die.”
“Improve the quality of graphics more and more like PlayStation 5, if possible with fast and smooth performance, especially in complicated actions.”
