Warbirds — About this game
A biplane cockpit frames aerial battles where finding the opponent is only the beginning. Adjust pitch and bank to bring an enemy into your sights, keep track of altitude and avoid bleeding too much speed in a tight turn. The game offers arcade and simulation settings, changing how demanding the aircraft is to fly. Looking around is essential when an opponent slips out of the forward view. Start with a forgiving mission, learn how the aircraft holds its attitude and build enough control to line up a clean burst of gunfire.
