@Sdlonyer, he already has made a second one. :P Also, 1948 is not very hard. First of all, you just need to lead one plane in a straight line constantly letting out gas, and the other waving back and fourth in front of it to lead the three faster planes, including that turtle, into the gas. Continue this until the three planes are dead, and then there's the Flying Wing, which, if you played 1943, you know that one plane is to circle around as the decoy while the other gets behind the wing to shoot it down. For the flying wing, you should fly the shooting plane in low speeds behind it and the decoy plane should fly at higher speeds in a circle. Hope this helps.

1946 - 4 stars: Let's number your planes 1 to 4 (top to bottom). TURN 1: Move 1/4 straight up/down with Speed. These two will bait 2 enemies each by staying ahead using Speed whenever they can. Move 2 straight down. 3 does 180% (only non-targeted plane). TURN 2: Move 1/4 to NW/SW edges of the map and when they reach their corners move them down/up. Move 2 to 8 o'clock with Shield. Leave 3 alone. TURN 3: 1/4 use Speed again. 2 moves to 7 o'clock. Leave 3 alone again. Ok, the hard part is over. TURN 4+: Eliminate the sole attacker of 3 with 2 then split them to help 1/4. Before 1/4 meet in the far West turn them East. Soon enough 2/3 will have their chance to clean up. If they are too slow then use 1 to help 4 or vice-versa. This worked for me 2/2 times (enemy always picks the same targets). Be patient and you'll get it.

Seems odd you can neither upgrade nor change your planes for faster/tougher ones, while the germans have all kinds of better tech.

Please make a way for you to move your plane when you get to the end of the map. I spent half an hour leading planes around behind me and suddenly I'm at the edge and I can't move my plane because the controlling dot thing is outside of the screen. This has happened multiple times. Other than that, the game is amazing.

Guys, I just completed 1945 for the second time ( and I'm Marshal now :D) and I will tell you this. Take down the spotters by slowly approaching them in the flank and sniping them down. After this, get all your planes behind the behemoth WITHOUT GETTING IN PROXIMITY. Now fly to it, still in the back, but DON'T GET TOO CLOSE. You have to be close enough to shoot though. It's better to go slowly then rush, since rushing might just cause your planes to die. When you have approached and shot, do the 180 turn move. Your planes should be now still at full health, and facing away the behemoth. Now fly away, but not too far, and do the 180 turn move again. Repeat this till the zeppelin goes down.

Something that would be very, very cool - the ability to "replay" the level as you played it, with no pauses, just to see how it played out in real-time.
Love the game, BTW - was glad that I had trouble getting all the achievements, 'cause then I had an excuse to play it again and again. :)

Great game. One flaw: sometimes the destination-circle of your plane can end up off the edge of the map, which spells instant death for your plane. =( Still, fantastically different. 5/5

hey Xenon 155 U were right , it is more easy , but I cannot get 100% because the gas is taking from my life too. try this for 1943 :get all your planes in the back of the Wing. That will make an huge combo that will destroy the plane. Try this tip in the Behemont level. U will see what

For all the levels, serpentine move really helps(especially 1948, in which I didn't have to use gas, or when the other plane is faster than you).
Do note that there are 60 stars overall. So you don't really have to perfect all the mission...

1948 tips. Do as Xenon said - fly the gas plane in a straight line, letting the other plane weave in an S fashion IN FRONT OF THE GAS. Your planes WILL get damaged if you stay in the gas. Once the 3 faster planes are dead, make a large u-turn (don't worry, the fat plane won't be near) and split up, one going to the top, one to the bottom. Wait and see which one the flying wing follows, and use that one as bait. The other plane is going to be your attacking plane. Just follow the Wing as it tries to follow your bait, and it should be dead in no time.

Awesome game! One of the best I played on Kongregate.
A few suggestions though, for a sequel maybe?
1. Attack Range for both your enemies and you.
2. Movement Range (same as above).
3. A way to deal with direction (when the plane is almost at the end of the map and you don't see your movement arrow anymore) maybe bind keys?
Thanks for a great game!

More ally planes, level editor, multiplayer, local multiplayer, custom plane editor, and environmental hazards would be nice.

A welcome treat for the tactical minds, but ultimately it's all about the patience of outmaneuvering your opponents and tailing 'em to death. The lack of diversity and real deepness prevents it from entering my favorites. 4/5.

Whenever your plane gets knocked out, and the other plane gets knocked out at the same time, you are sorta stuck and you can't win or lose

A great game. I would really like to see this were as you get more stars and gain ranks you unlock new plane/weapons and can try and find your own strategy to the levels. But this was meant to be a more accurate game so all good. also I had that same problem once were I was not paying attention to the edge and could no longer turn my planes cause the targetter went off the screen. Keep up the good work.

Hey! I'm supposed to earn tons of stars if I "barely survive". Because it was a hard war, nearly impossible to win, but THANKS to me, we won!

Great Game. A suggestion: It'll be even cooler if you could watch a replay of your dogfights in real time.
Badge problems for me for now though.

I wonder how RAF defeated Luftwaffe until 1950 using an airplane from 1907. :P Anyway, a pro-tip that will make missions much easier: each enemy has a fixed target (and will only change target when 1st one is dead). Identify which of your planes are targets and use them to attract enemies to a position where you can flank with other planes and take them down.

@thundernova308: Well, when you fly in a plane and look out the window at the ground from high up, everything DOES look pretty bland. It's only when you get close to the ground and can distinguish between different objects and see the flowers that things begin to look pretty.

1) The AI is very bad at predicting your movements. Moving in a straight line or a sharp turn always seems to trip them up. 2) The AI does not understand the dangers of the gas. Don't be afraid to drop it in an "obvious" place; the AI will ignore it and dive right where they were planning to go anyway. 3) There are 60 total stars to earn, so don't be afraid to take a 1 star mission. Personally, I found 1946 to be much harder then the next few levels.

@book w orm: You cannot turn right at the moment because your right rudder has been jammed. Same things go with the enemies. Please do not rate this game low just because you don't get hang of the things there.
