Sim‑Lite Combat Flight Model
The core experience balances a simulator feel with approachable, customizable air combat. Flight, dogfighting, and close‑air support are designed for fun, while simulation elements serve gameplay rather than pure realism.
Tactics such as boosting a missile’s range by launching from above the target add depth without demanding full‑scale realism, encouraging players to experiment with new approaches.
- Try high‑altitude missile launches to extend range.
- Focus on dogfighting basics before exploring advanced tactics.
