The game is viewed from the cockpit, with instruments and a forward view used to navigate and fight. Missions set objectives such as destroying ground installations or enemy aircraft while managing altitude, speed, fuel, ammunition, and damage.

Players select weapons, maneuver around threats, and return to complete the assigned objective. The campaign is structured as a sequence of missions, with later scenarios increasing the opposition and requiring more careful use of available weapons.

Learn the aircraft's handling before attempting difficult missions, especially turns at low altitude. Keep an eye on fuel, damage, and ammunition while approaching targets.

Use altitude and speed to control engagements, attack ground targets during a stable approach, and avoid lingering in the same area after firing. Preserve limited missiles for aircraft that cannot be safely defeated with the cannon.
