Plot [edit]

The player assumes the part of James Chase, an American who has volunteered to serve as a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force starting in May 1940. Later on displaying above-average skill and bravery during the evacuations at Dunkirk, he is transferred to the Battlehawks: a special unit in the RAF that operates under Prime Government minister Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive.

The histrion will too face off against the forces of the Japanese Empire.

Gameplay [edit]

The game is virtually entirely from a 3rd-person view, with the histrion's "camera" set to the rear of the plane looking towards it. Fuel is unlimited, but ammunition and mounted ordnance - bombs, torpedoes, or rockets - are not.

In the entrada, the player is often assisted by wingmen. They are friendly pilots who tin can exist ordered to comprehend Chase's airplane, follow it, attack marked units and assail enemy planes. In some missions, it is possible to land on runways and get more armament or even change the aircraft. The actor can tiresome down or speed up the fourth dimension at any moment. Notwithstanding, information technology too removes voice dialogue. Although most of the gameplay is in the air, certain parts of certain missions are gear up on the basis and the player must use anti-aircraft weaponry to shoot down enemy planes. The first part of the 12th mission is in a turret of a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, and the player uses machine guns to fight incoming fighters.

During the campaign, the player can play short challenges that oft have unique objectives. The story is not affected if these challenges are skipped, but they also follow the same story of the primary part of the campaign. Completion of all secondary objectives during a main mission tin result in a promotion or a ornamentation being awarded. The player, despite being in the Majestic Air Forcefulness, is given promotions in American, non British, war machine rank, and the majority of decorations available are American - some of which did not even exist at the fourth dimension. The two British decorations that can exist earned are the highest bachelor - the George Cross and the Victoria Cross - which, if the player earns them, would make James Chase the first to receive both in history.

Throughout the course of the game, the actor will have the opportunity to fly many types of Earth War Ii aircraft into combat. Almost of the aircraft are American, others are British (notably the beginning few available planes), and the remainder are a handful of High german and ane Japanese aircraft. Some tin can be unlocked for multiplayer or single-mission use but non for the campaign, like the Messerschmit Me-163 "Komet", and others are completely unavailable for player use, like the Nakajima B5N and the Heinkel He-111.
