Our take on AirFighter
Its defining structure is direct air combat in a World War II fighter, with radar-guided target finding and a choice between cockpit and behind-the-plane views.
What is AirFighter?
AirFighter is a 3D flight game centered on air battles between World War II planes.
Players control a fighter during combat and use mini-cannons and missiles to destroy opposing aircraft. A Power Boost changes the plane’s speed, allowing the player to close distance with an enemy. The on-screen radar indicates enemy locations and supports finding targets during battle. Combat can be viewed from behind the plane or from the cockpit, providing two perspectives for controlling the aircraft. The stated objective is to eliminate enemy fighters and win the encounter.
