EXPERIENCE THE VIETNAM WAR AIR COMBAT

Not like other flight sim games for mobile devices, in Gunship-III the cockpit is highly simulated with ultra-realistic 3D cockpit, full function dashboard, realistic sound effects and all moving parts.
Graphics are highly detail with cities, jungles, airbases, also includes a vast terrain covers Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.
In Gunship-III, you have more aircrafts available to fly more than any other games. We're working hard to bring even more in future updates.
Weapon systems in Gunship-III are also highly detail and accurate with real recorded sounds, high fire rate for miniguns as well explosion effect for bombs and rockets.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT (AI)
Each mission features many AI aircrafts, you also have AI gunners onboard who will shoot at anything firing at them and make sure nothing could touch your aircraft.

Community Insight:
Its really we really like the fact that you can eject out of the aircraft because most flight games like that dont allow you to eject and plus its really fun to fly around Sometimes Flying too low and drop a bomb by accident you might explode we kind of didnt like is that When you get hit by a missile you instantly explode thing we want this developer to probably add is that if you get hit by a missile you dont immediately explode into bits you should just lose control and then The yellow text you usually get pops up saying eject and It will give you time to eject But overall, this game is really fun and we recommend it.
This game is good but we dont know how to rescue the downed pilots.
The graphics are pretty good and is an all round fun game.
The game is awesome! We love it since we do like both FPS and aircraft games its awesome to see this! And would also like to apologize to some of the comments we were reading. You know one of them was about how the player hated the blackout effect and stopped playing the game until you removed it. Theyre probably just bad and dont know how to fly. But we support you guys thank you for giving us this game.
What a great game good graphics good texture good controls.
As the title states we love the Vietnam war mainly because our grandpa was in it, so when we saw this game we knew we just had to buy it.
We wish they kept updating the game it has sooo much potential.
You dont have to read this we just wanted the planes we could get for writing a review.
Super fun really realistic game.
Wish they could bring players back.
Great game, absolutely love it. Would recommend.
Tasks are excellent it takes skill to complete them and an overall fun experiance.
The game is good except for the title.
Been playing this game for a while we like it a lot wish they would make more of game like this.
Love it is great way to learn about veatnam.
If we do this, we get the little bird unlocked.
Super realistic fun game our favorite part was that there is no glitches.
This is super cool for what it is.
Amazing magnificent game. Must try. Best. Nice. Uh yeah.
Gunsight III is a great game for anyone whos into WW2 planes and helicopters the only thing we would like to add is after you eject you can walk around.
We love the game dont get us wrong but. It cost way too much to actually have fun. Its good but.. We wont be paying that much for a game.
It is a good game, only problem is there are basically new updates, we do know they are focused on other projects but if they could really add anything new that would be nice.
This game is one of our old favorites. Please make new updates.
We honestly love each edition of there air war simulators and can not wait until the devs release the full blown version. This game is truly amazing to be a phone/ tablet game.
We stabbed our grandma over the marshmallows old bih shouldve gave it to us but good game btw.
Super memorable game that still holds up today.
Actually a good game, we jst need to say nice so we can get the oh6 though.
Such an amazing realistic game so many so many small little details we love it. We recommend it.
We did this rating for a helicopter.
Good game just wish we could get free jets.
Great game, we have a great time playing.
Great game, core memory of our childhood.
We really like it but for a while it automatically quit the game but its fixed good game worth your time.
We li,e the helicopters and planes, we just wish there was more free stuff. Over all though, its a good game.
Like the Huey just make the gunships free.
This game reminded us of wet socks.
Yes, Everything is great and the controls are amazing!! Keep it up.
Great starter flying game for kids.
Can you please add more aircraft free pls.
Hey Mr we like your game very much but when we load the game it crashes can you fix it for us please we havent played this for 4 years already.
The starting stuff is pretty good, but we would personally love to see either a free American jet or game-money purchasable items.
It kicks us out of the game and it wont let us play please respond.
We really enjoy playing this game but we wish more of the jets were free so can you please make some of the jets free we would enjoy playing the game better.
Fix this problem we cant join the game.
Good game, true classic, only downsides is vehicles behind a paywall and how to turn the plane, except that, great game.
Always been one of our favorites.
Its kinda like the other one but with helicopters and thanks for reading.
Best if turn controls were modified so migs and other US fighter jets could have a better chance in dogfighting. Now currently, the migs have tighter turn capabilities. Our app is not opening.
Super cool and fun game to play.
We love this game its really fun for about a week then you just get bored of doing the same mission over and over again so if they make more missions then this game could be great but right now its just okay.
