ARCADE MODE: ANTI-SHIP - Send enemy ships to the bottom of the ocean. - Evade heavy cannon fire and swoop in to attack! CUTTING-EDGE MANOEUVRABILITY - Featuring a perfect harmony of poststall supermanoeuvrability and good old video game action. - Test your skills and attempt advanced manoeuvres such as Pugachev's Cobra and the Kulbit using only thrust and pitch controls. - Combine thrust vectoring with the AoA Alpha Limiter to experience airborne combat manoeuvring like never before. - Harness the power of next-generation combat manoeuvring to take even the most formidable enemy right out of the skies! MASSIVE LINE-UP OF POWERFUL ARTILLERY - Equip your jet with everything from missiles and unguided bombs to 20mm cannon gun pods and 37mm anti-tank guns. - Take out oncoming enemy missiles with a barrage of bullets from your 20mm cannons, use your 37mm anti-tank guns to turn both enemy tanks and ships into a coarse, grey mist, or employ whatever battle strategy works best for you. - Freely combine a vast array of weapons and take to the skies like a boss!!
