Community Insight:
We miss playing this game.. Please update it so that we are able to play it on latest ios versions.
Downloaded a lot and deleted them cuz they got boring. This one is challenging and the story mode is great. Hooking up to the gas tanker is the hardest but we love it . May not have American fighters but we love the su30.
Very cool game indeed. Cant call it simulation game in real sense but graphics are good. Storyline is excellent. If you like this game you may also like airfighters. Which have some indian planes too!!!! We love indian airforce. We are proud of you!!!! JAI HIND.
It would be fun if they made the buttons not impossible. The thrust and brake are extremely hard to press.
This versions of game has difficulty in landing than the first virsion.
Bug in Goal Keeper level keeps you from landing and going any higher. We will be deleting right after this review.
Even after multiple landing, the stage doesn't get over and next stage doesn't unlock. Also, unrealistic shooting unguided rockets at dinghies from su30mki.
Nice graphics and well executed..Really special way to promote defense services.. :).
Overall nice game. Add Tejas aircrafts. Nice controls. On menus selection buttons are too small to touch in ipone 5s.
We really like it, but it only has 2 levels.
We're stuck on the SOS part help! But overall good and challenging game.
It's a good game and we liked it. No new missions. Please update asap. Add to air and air to ground missiles. No idiot fires rockets from a su-30 mki. Planes have air brakes and they can be used during mid flight as well for greater maneuverability. So add that option for fighter aircraft. Remember su-30 is not a mig 21 to mig 27 to fire rockets on bunkers.
Very disappointed by the delay in release of next version which was promised to be released on 8th Oct 2014 and yet not update :(.
Game was good but where are new levels first it was 1st Oct then 8th n now just no change. Typical Indian babu style n so characteristically Indian Forces.. Never respect deadlines like every other project of forces. Forget real machine/fighter jet you can't even deliver a Game on time. Very unprofessional.
Where the update !??? You told next level coming up on 8 October Still no update Liars big liars Great job Indian Air Force…Jai Hind.
