Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 21, 2026)

A combat flight sim set over the Korean War, it scores 72.6 across 380 analyzed reviews, with praise for its looks and doubts on price.

👍 Strengths

132 reviews praise the graphics, from detailed landscapes to beautifully modeled aircraft and cockpits, and some say it is especially striking in VR. Visuals & Sound ranks 544th of 1249. 70 find it fun, and a few call it easier to get into than other serious flight sims. 29 like the feel of the flight model and controls, citing an impressive damage model, solid controller support and a reworked key mapping system. Story & World ranks 595th of 1096.

👎 Where it falls short

Tech & Support appears in 51% of reviews and ranks 941st of 1399. 56 report performance problems, such as heavy video memory use, hitching in close combat and stutter in busy VR scenes. 47 say the price is too high for the small number of planes, and some object to paid aircraft sold at launch. Pricing & Fairness ranks 1202nd of 1399. 26 say new players get little guidance, with no flight school, few tutorials and a confusing pile of key binds to set up. Content Volume ranks 1039th of 1351.
