Community Insight:
The game is pretty good, though there are some features we wish to see in the future 1. Radar Multipath 2. The R-3R missile for the mig21M 3. Game chat box abusers Everything in game is great, and even though we know you wont add these as this is an old game, it could be something you can look out if you randomly decide to come back.
Its unique in its simulator style and we LOVE it. Great job on the game.
We love this game. When we were a kid we played this and we remembered it so we came back to it, but we have an issue playing the game. When we open the application, it just kicks us out to our wallpaper. If you could fix that Id appreciate it a megaton.
We got the other version its on the U.S. Side but we like this version to because we kinda get to see the Vietnam side you should get this if you love aviation and if you like MiGs this game is for you God bless the developer and God bless you all.
The Developer Has Abandoned This Game. For Now At least The Developer Is Working On Gunship IV. It Will Be Based Around The 80s To Present Day. This Game Might Be Updated Later On, However The New Game Will be Developed For About Another 2 Years(Estimated). The New Game Will Have Great Graphics, Updated Controls, And Tons Of New Era Planes. Hopefully we Answered Some Questions, Bye.
Great work but it was abandoned.
When are yall gonna do some updates on this game. Its been six years since the last update and Im ready to see some more so please update yalls games and Ill redownload the game thanks again.
We love this game its cool that you can eject and other stuff. But could you we know you know what we are going to say pls make one of the other jets free, or go to one of your other games take one of the jets that might be the free jet that you get when you by the game and import it but its prob not as easy as we think. Also your games and Turbopropflightsimulator and f-18 Hornet fighter jet game that cost money we are not talking about the boring carrier one no we are talking about the one that has all the controls and no what it has a blue logo and has aHornet Fighter Jet on it are the best games throw the x planes or what ever out the window five stars also if you dont want to add a jet pls make a on screen joy stick option but pls consider. We will say it one more time one of the best fighter sims ever.
We would like to fund your next title or any updates for the current ones you already have. You guys have made very fun games that are still a pleasure to play even five plus years later. Please reply and We can get in touch. Thank you, Tobias.
Best game of Vietnam war aviation well really the only one ive ever played but it is not working for some reason when we open it on our iPhone eight it goes to the loading screen and kicks us out completely and exits the tab.
- Less blackout, as Im turning we blackout that fast, so chill on that 2. Sometimes the missiles miss there target when Im right behind them, so work on that 3. Combine the 3 games to switch teams and aircraft and whatever 4. Make the VN and US ground missiles accurate to make it more interesting and fun 5. Find a way to rescue our pilots 6. More of our ground troops 7. Better graphics and animation 8. Save fuel a bit 9. Our 20mm cannon needs to do more damage, helicopters take a lot of cannon rounds until they explode 10. Add a new mig with missiles but for free for people so they can have fun.
We really wish yall updated this game and improve it more because it really do have potential.
Hey bro, good game and all, but one prob, we want to sponsor your game on youtube, but we cant buy things until march, and we dont want to play this on youtube with only free things, so basically we were wondering if you would give us planes for free so that we could sponsor the gaming COMPANY for ya, thats right, imma play all your games, but your decision, not ours.
We just bought this because so many people blew us up as this and 1 in every 7 attempts we can get of the ground. For some reason as sone as you get 60 percent throttle it starts spinning around in circles. There are no problems with the other jets. PLEASE FIX.
Please add American fighters to engage in addition to the B-52s. Or maybe even spice up the missionsperhaps close air support missions even.
This game is the best mobile fighter jet game Ive experienced but you gotta fix it.1,It always clicks you out.2,There is no two just number one.So fix number one.
We like the feel and aspects of the game but ended up betraying the North Vietnamese Air Force.
Now when you ecject close to the ground you go through the ground to out side of the map so please fix that bug please we mean it do it.
We have both games and its a beautiful memorable game which from a cadets aspect it is also memorializing the Vietnam pilots which is rare to happen because its not a particularly honorable, shall we say, time in Air Force history for American pilots and the Viet Cong were not very present but we must remember that those bomber pilots who dropped chemicals were not only following orders they were fighting for their buddies who may have been dead or died later and those bomber pilots themselves may have never made it home in one piece or were never recovered at all. This got really sentimental so we will leave it at, the only thing that can make this thing better is a progressive ranking which could unlock certain aircraft eventually. Thank you.
We love the game and all BUT IT CRASHES TOO MUCH.
When somebodys plane appears and disappears they are not hacking! It does this because you have bad WiFi connection or your device is old or slow! It could also be the person who is disappearing has a slow device! STOP SAYING EVERYBODY IS A FRIKING HACKER PEOPLE.
Just telling you, our iPad Air 2 is completely new, so it can't be the device's problem. Some of your missions don't work. Fix this, you noobs. Our guinea pig could do better than this.
We do really like this game and have a lot of fun playing it but it gets sort of repetitive. We sort of get tired of the same MIG 17s and MIG 19s and the same missions get sort of boring, and we really wish the MiG 21 was free. But beside that, the controls are easy and quick to get used to, but it can get a little boring. All and all, it is still a pretty fun game, but we do wish the graphics and gun controls would be better.
Ive had this game on a different device and it was amazing. But for some reason whenever we try to open it on our phone (it has iOS 15.5), it always closes it almost immediately. Please help.
So on iOS, we re downloaded the game but when we opened it it kept crashing. Is there any way to fix this? We rebooted the phone and it still crashed. So please fix this game.
As of today, July 19, 2021, this game is still awesome and playable. Only thing is we wish you would give it some TLC but its okay. In future efforts please tone down the Aim 7s from the American Phantoms. In real life they were like 15% accuracy rate. Other than that great game and hope it gets a rework at some point.
Can you please add more planes that are free or like how you can unlock the on the other Gunship3 game with the American planes.
The free version and the 4.99 version only have 4 planes and no helicopters if they add the hind or hip then it would a 5 star. Apart from that everything else in good.
The single player is still bugged but besides that impressive for a mobile game.
After not playing for a while it stopped working. It kicks us two seconds after we enter the game.
The Migs are good dog fighters and always outmaneuver the American Fighters! The only thing is, we wish they had more fuel and range.
Seems like it would be a good game but any vehicle that is actually competitive costs money.
The gameplay is good Ive played it but when Ive tried playing it we instead get the boot back to the home screen.
Hey so we been playing this game for the longest and we alway played it on android and the game worked perfectly fine and we loved it and we got a iphone and its a great phone and today we downloaded the game and we tried and open it but as soon as we open it it crashes instantly so if you guys could fix that it well be great.
Single Player is super easy as the B-52s wont shoot you down often and fighters wont bother you, but you are always outnumbered in multiplayer making survival difficult. You cant die on the ground, so thats good, but you will always be the sole protector of the runway. In 1960 Strategic Air Command switches from high altitude to low altitude attacks solely because the Sa-2 was so dangerous. In this game, set barely a few years later, you can ignore them because they cant hit anything at all. You can actively try to get hit by them and they will still miss. If the devs increased Sam site ability you could take off from the runway in peace and have fun flying in more fair situations, bombing would get harder too, making you have to choose between the SAMs at high altitude and the guns at low altitude. Furthermore you could add a SEAD expansion that would allow you to use missiles designed to kill Sams! The Sa-2 Sam was very dangerous during the Vietnam War, but is too weak in this game, and has no business being so weak.
MAKE IT TO WERE YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THINGS WITH XP PLZ.
This is what you will likely experience in multiplayer if you play for free: the enemies are 20km away so you start flying towards them. A few minutes in, youre still trying to reach a player and then BOOM! You exploded. Without any warning, a missile blew you up by a guy who shot it from across the map. Trying to see the missile before it hits you is like trying to see a tiny pencil flying towards your plane out of the entire sky. It doesnt glow much so its hard to see. The only way to have lock-on missiles of your own is to pay real money for a jet fighter with one. Alternatively you may experience lots of getting spawnkilled. And as you hear from many players reviews, it also clicks you out of the game frequently.
The chat will ban you for using profanity. It will also ban you for using what it thinks is profanity, which is incredibly stupid. Aim120 dominates the map, so if youre facing someone with it, you have no recourse. Could be so much fun, but mediocre logic behind weapons ruins it.
Umm so we are an Amaricain and the planes you fight with are Vietnam planes sooo we feel soooooooo wrong destroying U.S carriers sooo. Please fix that.
Why cant we play the game without getting hit by paywalls,all we want is just a good plane not locked by a paywall,its even worse in multiplayer.Basically its just a pay to win battlefield,buy a MiG-21 or die from the hoards of people who bought the F-4D.
Its a very pretty, realistic and good game but when we push up the throttle a little to start taxing to the runway to launch the plane for the first mission for the first time, the game stops by itself and returns to our phone main screen menu. The same thing happened to the other gunship 3 because we downloaded it too. Why is this and what is happening to the games.
Honestly we would leave a five star if we got to play the game but every time we open the app it crashes please fix.
We used to play this game but now when we try to play it it just loges us out:( plese fix and we get that you have abandoned this game still we miss this game.
So hi guys. We have a problem. That problem is that the game wont open for us. Can you fix it thx.
We downloaded this app multiple times and every time the screen goes on for a few seconds and it doesnt load and goes back to Home Screen the crash happens over and over and over again and it just crashes we thought we could play this alongside gunship sequel ww2 but it just crashes every single time! PLEASE FIX IT please show a RESPONSE! Please fix it.
Every time we try to play the game the game crashes for us and back out bruh.
One update dont put record the game.
This review goes out to honestrevewer and anybody else who blames this stupid game on us. We were playing this game on our brand new Mac Book Pro. Huge storage, and it can handle tons of stuff. Now if you were playing on a small device, it is probably the device. But we were playing it on a Mac Book Pro, brand new, in a hotel room with perfect connection. We were flying and then we started doing barrel rolls and it glitched us out. We dived into chase a F-4D and it glitched us out. We were shooting rockets at a B-52 and it glitched us out. This game was rushed. They dont even care about this game, they are focusing on the much better ones that cost money. This game is stupid trash, and honestrevewer, first of all you spelled reviewer wrong, and secondly, stop bullying people and being mean, and of course its not hacking, its the game bro, not the people who play it. So stop blaming it on us just because u dont want to buy the actual working version. That is so not cool man, just like this game. And then there are in app-purchases, which every game has. So we purchased a plane that cost money. But when we hit buy, it glitched us out and we have no idea what happened to our money or the plane. So then we tried it again on a cheaper plane for only 99 cents. So it kinda worked, but really glitched. So then when we went to go use it, we put the engine to full power and it glitched us out. So stop being a jerk honestrevewer, and stop being a bully, because he said himself,it is because you have a old device, your device is old or your WiFi is bad. Seriously bro, you literally directed it people, that is messed up. You are putting a stupid, horrible game before us. So, dont download this game because when it glitches you out, it isnt you, its the game.
Game loads. Right as we take off the game crashes. Every time. Dont waste your time. Last update was a year ago. Deleting.
It's a pretty solid game if you want to fly planes with friends or fight some dogfights. Like the game.
