Community Insight:
As of now we can only access ww1 fights where nobody plays. How do we join ww2 battles.
Dogfight elite is a great game, but it glitches a lot sometimes. And we cant get in a game to play often. But other than that, Dogfight Elite is great.
The game is good for its ww1 planes but where is the ww2 planes as it shows in the pictures.
The game pretty good, but every few minutes we play the game the screen blacks out for the hole time we are playing the game, so we have to close the game, and start all over. Please, can you fix that.
We love this game so much been playing for a while and just got back into in Shadow Wolf99.
Best ww1/ww2 dogfighting game out there. Great physics. Exciting gameplay. WW2 is so fast.! Dev. Is around all the time if there is a prob. DOWNLOAD THIS GAME NOW.
We love this game there is nothing better no bugs. The only thing that needs to be improved is how far the shells go.
We want developers to fix ww1 and ww2 server apart and not the mixed wars, because like us as a newbie other players take the advantage of ww2 planes on manoeuvre fights and faster bombing while our plane are still on ww1 and no fun. We want developers to make different server so only ww1/ww2 planes can be used. Thank you.
At some point you are forced to buy planes because the ones you own become too old to fly. The only way around this is to spend actual money on points to buy a new plane. (we dont spend money on any games) Ive been playing for years and now that Im unable to play because our planes are too old. Good community and good people, but the creator needs to rethink some of his ideas. If it aint fixed soon, Im done playing for good.
Got paired up with some dude with a better plane meanwhile us with our ww1 plane Edit: Thank you very much dev. We appreciate it. We may have left that comment a little heated since we wanted to go back and play a game that was part of our childhood.
This is the only good dog fighting game on the App Store this is just crazy good.
We have been playing this game for who knows how long and it never gets boring.
We paid for a plane and then they take it back.
We like this game quite a bit, out of all the dogfight games available its probably the best. But it could be better, we still appreciate the effort by the dev to update maybe 2 – 3 times a month.
Graphics are pretty good you can parachute out of your plane and walk around or go into a tank and thats alot of fun. Plus they have planes from ww1 ww2 and even jets you can upgrade your plane snd everything it just such a fun game.
We're a long time player since this game came out. You can find us on Youtube. That was years ago. But now coming back with a bran new account and bran new iPhone 12 Pro Max, it won't calibrate. We didn't dream there would be an issue with such a simple thing. We went and wasted 8 bucks before checking calibration. Just an FYI ya'll.
Hello im a fellow player ive played the game before and deleted it for about 6 years. And im playing it again but we have a issue for some reason we cant log into multiplayer it wont work pls fix this thank you and have a wonderful day.
Its absolutely perfect just the game Im looking for.
We love this game amazing features and reality In the game you can give yourself a name ,for instance ours is Flier Favorite.
Why should we have to buy a subscription to buy a plane we unlocked by getting promoted. Makes no sense. Take away a lot of these subscription restrictions and we Would keep playing. Also why does it cost 5.49 in game for a year commitment and 1.99 month by month on the appstore.
Quality is not good, UI is subpar, and aiming is impossible. Lag is horrendous in this game. Very frustrating to play.
This is a console level game for mobile, and it isnt pay to win or slamming notifications and ads in your face every 5 seconds. This game is amazing, but a little underrated. We would recommend this to anybody who has a phone and likes good games. The Analator.
Its a very good game and the community is wonderful. The concept is not new but its applied in a creative and original way. We want to see this game to improve and these are some ideas for that we would recommend adding some more planes and some more gear for infantry pilots. Maybe even a couple more game modes.
Well we jointed it a month ago but then we realize everything looked like so good.
We loved playing this game on our tablet when we were little, now that Im older and we have a phone, we can snort some nostalgia, thanks dev.
We really like this love the airplanes and everything we just wish there was not that subscriber thing please get rid of it then we will rate 5 stars. BaronHawk.
We were the creator of the Alaskan Polar Bears squadron. Username oldt1m3r. We tried to leave to join another squadron and we cant. As we are somehow still the owner of the squadron. We originally deleted it but we guess there was a glitch or something and now Im stuck without a squadron. If this were fixed we would give 5 stars.
Great game! A lot of free stuff to try.
We really like this game because it is our only WWI game we have not had it for a very long time and we had never shot down a plane yet in the game but soon we will but we have shot at enemy planes before but anyway we still give the game a 5 star review.
This game is a lot like gunship ii in some ways, but it also has its unique parts. This game combines realism with fun and exciting gameplay. Definitely recommended.
Okay, we love this game first off. We love that you can eject and hop in a tank. We love the multiplayer option. We feel that the graphics could be updated, even though they look great already. Im also exited for the new cavalry and tank. Thanks so much for this game.
Personally we like this game, but we think it would be way cooler if you added more maps, and missions, and changed the layout of the home screen, and add damage graphics to the panes rather than they just smoke. Also maybe maps just for tanks, or infantry, and add more first person weapons and more customizations to the planes.
Ive been playing for years took a break notice that there are fuel restrictions now to make it more realistic we guess. However maps are so large you can fly around looking for folks to shoot at and run out of fuel Ok different from bata version for sure also bullets no longer have range either.
This game we've notices became free. So we decided to give it a shot and noticed many things that made you guys who made the game responsible for killing it. -game forces you to pay in order to have the ability to do whatever you want -lacks good updates to help keep it on top of mobile dogfight games -graphics by now definitely need improvements -very little reason to even play. What we mean is it doesnt take long for grinders to get all the planes and stuff and once they got it all whats the point? Best thing to do is pretty much give the game a whole new version of the game The game was good years ago but now you guys need to do something. This game is no different besides the fact you could use a bike, horse, or etc when your not using a plane.
Also plays on windows man multiplayer experience is so gratifying Also on Apple TV HOWEVER THOSE JERK OVER THERE HEVENT UPDATED SINCE 2017.
We like the game it has good taste but it needs a calibration button so that way when we fly an airplane like the Fokker D.VII we dont crash all the time.
We think this game is one of the most fun ww1 apps straus.
We have been playing this game for about 5 years off and on now. And it is actually a lot of fun. The graphics are not out of this world, but the game is simple, you fly, you fight, you win. We highly recommend more players to play this, it deserves a high player count.
It is a super fun game, and we love it that you can also be a footman or a tank. The only thing is that it is SUPER hard to bomb stuff because you dont have a crosshair for bombing. By the way, our name is yeeeeeet in the game.
You cant buy anything if you dont pay for a subscription. This is because gaining in game credits is painfully slow. We hope this game becomes not dumb sometime.
OK the game has improved and graphics and scenery are very adequate! Finally you have a choice to fly as WW1 OR mixed WW1 and WW2… This fixes the jets-vs-bip|lanes that so many hated. Good 3D feel as you can decide when and how to fight in several different missions. Many of the old-timers have come back to this game now that its upgrades have been fixed. Very affordable to play this game. Watch out for "Ace" she's the best pilot in this male dominated game.
One of the levels were too protect the carrier but we couldnt shoot down a single german aircraft. We played this for nothing.
Okay, World War II is back thankfully. Kinda over reacted on that, but now we have another problem to discuss. We were about to purchase our first World War II plane when we noticed the price. It was almost double the original cost it was before which immediately ticked us off because we wanted to see some World War II action. So now we need to work double time to gain enough points to buy it. Please fix the prices so we can save points for upgrades.
Its fun…….thats it……….. ………l.
This game is fun and hardly any online lag.
This game is awesome!! The Vickers Gunbus(Airco[default plane]) needs to be named properly, the Vickers Gunbus. The first person aiming controls need to be fixed, and there should be more guns with different stats, but all in all, it is awesome!! Our name is Kazoo Lad Boi.
We think it needs to have higher up controls so you can pull up all the way and it should have more modes and an easier way to get money.
We love this game, but it needs some changes. First when we fire the bullets dont go far at all, we think this game is more killing a person is by luck because we were in front of this guy and we shot him but the bullets went like nerf darts straight a few feet then down, if the bullets distance was improved we wouldve killed him, anyway he was 25 feet away we can see the pilot inside. Another thing is we want new maps. It is fun on the open world map, but after awhile it bores. The map is so big and so little players we can hardly find anyone. The new map would be great to explore and have new buildings. Oh, maybe the new map could be cityish. So bombing raids on buildings, stuff like that. Anyway great game and we hope you take this feed back and do the changes. At least fix the bullet distance thats the most we want.
We used to have this game, and it was great fun. But now that we have reinstalled it it keeps telling us to register but not letting us. We click the button over and over and nothing happens no matter how long we wait. Cant even play.
So stupid how you count kills and deaths because this game is super hard for new players and obviously they are going to die a lot. Also, Ill be shooting at a plane and our crosshairs will be directly on him from like 25 feet away and he take no damage yet we get killed. This game isnt even that fun either.
