The game is viewed from the helicopter cockpit, with instruments and the surrounding terrain used to maintain orientation. Objectives center on flying through mission areas, locating targets, and attacking hostile positions while avoiding crashes and enemy fire.

Progression is mission-based rather than character-driven. The player must balance altitude, direction, speed, and weapon use during each sortie. Success depends on learning the terrain, making controlled approaches, and completing the assigned combat objectives before the helicopter is destroyed.

Use gentle control inputs when flying near the ground, since abrupt turns make it easier to lose orientation or collide with terrain.

Study the cockpit instruments and mission area before committing to an attack. Approach targets from a stable position, fire only when aligned, and avoid remaining exposed after an engagement.
