Is Combat Air Patrol 2: Military Flight Simulator worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Flight-simulation players who want an AV-8B Harrier II rather than a broad aircraft roster
- Players interested in combining air combat with naval fleet planning
- VR users who want to fly missions with a supported headset
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a finished, fully developed campaign may hit a wall at the mission planner and campaign cycles, which the vendor says are still under development.
- Players seeking multiplayer will hit a wall at the current single-player limit; co-op and fleet-versus-fleet modes are described as future additions.
- Players looking for a wide selection of flyable aircraft may find the focus on the AV-8B Harrier II too narrow.
Our take on Combat Air Patrol 2: Military Flight Simulator
Players expecting multiplayer will reach a clear stopping point: the current game is single-player, while co-op campaigns and fleet-versus-fleet play are described as future additions. Those waiting for a completed campaign planner may also encounter unfinished mission cycles and planning features.
What is Combat Air Patrol 2: Military Flight Simulator?
Combat Air Patrol 2 is a single-player flight and naval combat simulator centered on the AV-8B Harrier II.
Its cockpit includes radar modes, MFD and HUD displays, and selectable controls. Missions cover air combat, ground attacks, maritime operations, and training. A mission planner lets players set waypoints and targets, and coordinate fleet formations, routes, and speeds. The open-ended campaign features civilian traffic and shipping lanes, while player decisions in the air and on the tactical map affect its outcome. The game includes air-to-air refueling with three difficulty levels, radio communications, and support for VR headsets, flightsticks, HOTAS, rudder controls, MFD panels, and gamepads. Multiplayer is described as planned; the game is currently single-player.
