Enemies

  • Arrows above another object indicate an important enemy that is either attacking you or that needs to be destroyed.
  • Red arrows indicate German forces, blue arrows indicate Allied forces. Red or blue arrows with a circle indicate an enemy that must be destroyed to continue.
  • Arrows over ground objects indicate enemies that must be destroyed in order to complete a mission.
  • When in a dogfight your plane and the enemy plane will alternate between offense and defense until either plane is destroyed or the enemy escapes.
  • You can avoid gunfire, flak, and planes by dodging out of the way. Your plane will lose altitude (sink) when in a dodge.
  • Your plane carries limited ammo so use it wisely.

Passes

  • Some missions will require a few passes to destroy or protect certain targets.
  • Passes will alternate the direction of enemies and targets.
  • The current pass number and number of total passes allowed will be displayed in the score bar (i.e. Pass 1 of 2).
  • The current destroyed targets and total number of targets that need to be destroyed will also be displayed in the score bar (i.e. T 3 of 4).
  • If all the targets have been destroyed on an odd numbered pass, the remaining passes will be skipped.

Strategies: Air

  • Use clouds as cover to momentarily hide from enemies. The cloud icon will appear when you are hidden from enemy sight.
  • The screen will flash red on either side when an enemy is attacking from that direction. Use the snap view controls to quickly glance at the threat

Strategies: Ground

  • Ground machine guns and planes with gun turrets are momentarily disabled when damaged
