Would adding a game mode to make this game like "Epic War" style be a good idea? If you could control one plane, but release a bunch minions every so many seconds in a battle of east vs. west... that´d be really cool.

This game was awesome, and appreciate the Dev responses. A sequel would be good. I'd like to see bigger differences between the planes and missions, and maybe different upgrades for the different planes. Still going to give it a 5 star because it was fun and I can come back and play it agian.

''If you kill your allies you'll have less chance with this enemy, but you'll still get points'' Nice way to promote friendly fire...

hey everybody try mixing Machine Gun with Twin Gun and Burst Gun.That way you can be a all arounder range gunner and if you buy the Impact Bombs then buy the Proximity Detector
One of the small secrets of the game, you are able to mount two machine guns at once! I personally rush on Twin machine gun and use it with standard Machine gun. Then I rush on Malicious parachute and from that point, the game is easy I you know how to use the weapons.
Hi, that was my former intention, to make a multiplayer airplane game. However I implemented the game in actionscript2 and old flash technology and it does not allowed me to make such mutiplayer games without struggling with network lags. So only hotseat multiplayer has left. You can play the game with your friends on one computer, just hit Play->Multiplayer. Maybe the sequel of the game will be pure online multiplayer ;) Or download concurent product. I personally love "www.altitudegame.com"

It seems my plane parts get wrecked even faster than those of my enemies even when I am fully upgraded. Should be more balanced.
Hi, sorry but I'm not a musician nor a thief. I've downloaded the music from flashkit.com, just like thousands of developers do. So If you feel I'm a thief, then 80% of all gamemakers are thieves. It is highly probable that civilwaranimated.com took the music from the same source as me.
Hi, no it's not a bug. Maybe the AI should be smarter, but this is not a bug, just imperfect AI :) If it was perfect, trust me, you won't like this game :D But i'll try to improve the AI a bit. Thanks for your comment.
Hi, you can, but not directly. If you rise steeply you slow down. If you turn nose down and dive from top of the screen to low altitude and then pull up to not crash, you gain speed.

Please,pleasepleaseplease, add an arena mode, just like bloon def but without bloons. I want to shoot stuff, not protect bloons from planes inside em.(maybe make bloons ignore fire from friedlies? annoying to get a plane out ot it) Got to lvl 18 in def so far, maxed out, any more challenge there? Anyway, 5/5 since a dev actually watches over his fun game.
Hi, thanks for a good idea. I think that this wouldn't be a problem to make it, if you have more detailed concept of the game mode in the head, please let me know. Now, if you want to shoot everything, go to Multiplayer, and set the planes as you need and play. In Multiplayer/Custom mode you can shoot everything you like :)

Idiotic game. Why my plane is destroyed by one bullet and the opponents need at least 10 hits before they are downed. Really irritating game.

ok, I finally got a damn reticle on my better aiming. WOW that sucks!!! I sold it because it was too distracting and much harder to lead the target.
Targetting system could help some players, but we, the pro players do not need it :) Targetting system is good when tail gun is purchased, in this case you are able to aim better backwards. Same to bombs, it shows you when to drop bombs (I hope I have implemented this feature :) )
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
And seriously, what does this targeting upgrade do? I see absolutely nothing from it, and my fire doesn't seem to change.

great game, was lots of fun. But upgrades need a little more balance. Specifically, speed has more of a negative impact than a positive one. You get in front of the enemy you're chasing, instead of being able to throttle back, and it completely eliminates any benefit from agility. You're better off never going above 2 stars on speed.
You are right, not all upgrades are needed to be purchased. Every player must find out which combination is suitable for him. I personally prefer upgrading agility, thrust instead of speed, just like you. Speed is ok, but if you buy it you have to compensate with agility. And speed is possible to gain using diving maneuvre.

So I had no idea what I was doing against the Red Barron... He seemed completely impossible to beat but then he just killed himself twice >< won by default on my first try... yay...

I had my enemy with only one life for four times, all of those he escaped using a parachute and got time to destroy my balloons.
The real beauty of this game is, that just shooting is not enough. You have to think even about good configuration or weapon build. If you have trouble with such enemies that have emergency parachute, use your wisdom instread of brute firepower. If you buy malicious parachute (cheap) or EMP (more expensive) and make him crash, he cannot escape death :) Try this and nothing will stop you! :D

The Intro to this game said it all, that in its self even before I play the game earns a 5/5. Thank you for the reminder of the Battles these men foguht in the Skies. My Great Great Uncle was Billy Mitchell, any history buff will know this man.

This is a fun game. Difficulty seems just high enough to irritate, but not high enough to get me to quit. I must have gotten lucky with Richthofen -- I got him to crash into the zep. Now off to try the Defense...

@WideAngleGame's response to mohirl, you know that by saying you want emergency parachute for 30% to save your life, that you're saying it's luck based on a 3/10 chance?

Dear players!
A new version has been released:
v.1.2.0.k:
- fixed bug with unlocking 3 airplanes after finishing campaign
- fixed balloon defence bug - not starting planes after lvl10
- fixed advanced weapon rack bug
- adjusted collision with flocks of birds
- restart level button implemented
- red baron beatable when his airship destroyed
- load buttons resized and animated for better visibility
grat:) One more recommendation, play the Campaign once again with Fokker (Red airplane) as Red Baron, the last level is different. You'll be facing 1 vs 4 superiority that means 5 airplanes on stage :)

me again^^ still playing this wonderfull game and i get the advanced weapon rack bug. i started with 2 prim and sec weapon slot, i bought extra slot then adv weapon rack and i still have 2 weapon slot. and when i sell it, it downgrade my plane to 1 prim and sec slot. wish it will help you dev. love this game^^

You were right about that. But now I really have a bug. I play deffence mode and after wave 13 or somthing enemy plaens don't take off anymore. They make a sound of engine start but they just sit on the ground for me to kill and then they don't respawn anymore.

I'm really hating the last level. That white out glare is painful on the eyes after a while. It's ridiculously unbalanced, unless you get a huge slice of luck. It's also impossible to tell whether your secondary weapon is available or not.
the white out glare is the result of NUKE explosion. The last level is easy if you know how to take that bastard down. Just a tiny amount of luck is needed. Buy "malicious parachute" weapon to take him down and "emergency parachute" so you have 30% chance to save your life after he kills you.

I wonder if the advertisers realize that they loose any audience they have after about 5 seconds to... other tabs, other progs or almost anything else on the desktop.

very fun and great game game good job! one bug, after lvl 10 or something like that in balloon def mode, ennemies no more take off, i kill them on the floor and they stay destroyed without respawning.

Great stuff! REally enjoyed this. Keeping the money when you fail a mission really helps - I think I found the second mission hardest of all until I got some upgrades. Couple of issues: the continue campaign button is tiny, should really be swapped with the new campaign if there's a campagin already active (I nearly wiped my save by mistake); when I continued my campaign, my rank went back to 1; on the semi final qualifier, if the airship goes off the edge of the screen, it never comes back (not sure if that's intentional). But this is seriously addictive!
Hey, I'm glad that you like my game. Good point, writing down your notices, I fix it soon. According to airship, it comes back and appears on the opposite edge on the screen, but is takes time, since it is flying slowly :)

Advanced weapon rack doesn't work for me. It give me 1 more slot, but when i buy new weapons it says that all my slots are full.
Hi, it is not a bug, advanced weapon rack allows you to mount one more weapon och each type primary/secondary. Generaly you are able to mount 2 primary and 2 secondary weapons at once. When you buy advanded weapon rack, you are able to yield 3 primary and 3 secondary weapons (indicator next to the airplane graphics). But to buy them you have to have free slots at the right bottom inventory (mounted devices). I recommend to buy "extra cargo storage" first, it ads one more row of slots into your mounted devices inventory. Then you can buy "advanced weapon rack".

One thing I'd really like to see is more performance optimization. I have a bad computer, I can't play this, but I can play some of the more fancy flash games without trouble.
Hi, the main problem is that the game runs on Actionscript2 which is slower then AS3. The only think I can recommend you is to toggle the graphics quality to a suitable level (top right corner button - toggle to LOW value)

loved it just two issues though. 1: if you emp a plane it only counts as a kill if they are under the status effect even though they come out of it micro seconds from the ground. 2: i have activated emp and killed my opponent after my "pilot" is dead. how does that work? 5/5 anyway.
1)When you cause stall (malicious parachute, emp, acoustic rifle) to enemy plane and it recovers 1 microsecond before touching the ground, you unluckily don't get kill. This is hard to determine when to add kill to stats or not. So I decided to trigger it only when enemy touches the ground stalled. 2) it's a bug not a it's a feature. If you get criticaly hit, you can still fire weapons no matter if "pilot hit" message appears or not :) A big thanks for voting!

Hey guys! I have uploaded new version!
Now if mission fails, you will still get money so you can buy more upgrades to beat the level you have stucked in. :)
Hi, this game is not about realism. It has a stall mechanism and somebody likes it somebody not. It is impossible to make such a complex game that suits to all players. If you upgrade thrust (at least 2 points), you will be less sensitive to stalls.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@wideanglegames: OK, I just played again, and I can see the plane slow down when I face up and start going into stall, but I don't seem to speed up to any noticeable degree if I just dive (even facing straight down). I guess stalling seemed random to me because the speed variances (outside of directly going into stall) are minute(maybe it is just my computer/browser?). No need to get defensive over my real-weapon preference, it's just my opinion.
Speed up is indicated by sound of increasing frequency of the airplane's propeller. The ability to speed up quickly is determined by amount of "thrust" upgrades you have. The more "thrust" you have the less sensitives to stalls your airplane is and the faster you gain speed when faced down.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Plane stalling seemed a bit random; if I keep flying in a circle, I'd do fine four or five times, then suddenly stall halfway through the next loop, then repeat. Personally, I would have preferred only realistic weapon/upgrade choices for the period. You should be able to speed up and slow down the plane (particularly when manoeuvering).
Stalling is not random,just the gravity works a bit against you. If you climb it decreases speed more than increment of the speed while diving. That is the reason you get stall after few circles. Speed up and slow down works. Just fly to the top of the screen and turn nose perpendicularly down. You gain speed. More pro maneuver is to invoke a controlled stall at high altitude and then recover from it at low altitude.About realistic upgrades...this game is half reality-half fiction.If you want just reality,maybe flight simulators would be better choice.
