DOGFIGHT

FLY THE FIGHT

Use A/D to bank and W/S to work the throttle. Your speed changes your turn radius — bleed it off for tighter turns.

Hold SHIFT for a sharp turn. Tap Q for a barrel roll — you are untouchable mid-roll and it breaks missile locks. In a jet, Q releases flares instead, and full throttle lights the afterburner.

PUT THEM DOWN

SPACE or left mouse fires the Brownings. Watch your ammo and hit R to reload. Lead your target and get close — convergence matters.

E or right mouse launches a guided HVAR rocket. Six per sortie. It locks onto the hostile nearest your nose and tracks it — reserve them for aces, bombers and point-blank finishers. Modern jets swap the rack for a limited load of homing missiles.

SURVIVE THE TOUR

R reload, ESC pause. Campaign sorties are fixed battles: Level 21 fields 42 hostiles against you and 20 wingmen.

Every wave is tougher. Every fourth wave is an escort — keep the B-25 alive. Every sixth is a strike — kill the enemy bombers. Every eighth, an ace will come hunting. Endless Survival keeps that endless wave format.

Equip a jet and the mission switches to Modern Operations: OPFOR fighters, Su-34 strike packages, an E-3 escort and the Felon stealth ace.

Grab + repair crates and ▸ rocket crates dropped by downed raiders. Chain kills within five seconds to build a score multiplier.

Every sortie banks credits. Spend them in the Hangar & Depot on new airframes — each one flies with its own hull, speed, guns and ordnance.
