Own the skyline in Apache Gunship
Take the stick of a fully armed attack helicopter in a 3D combat flight simulator built for mobile. Rocket artillery, tactical air strikes and close air support missions across twelve war theatres, tuned for touchscreens and throttle hands.
Strike runs at 02:00 under NVG
The Iron Monsoon update adds night vision optics, monsoon weather cells and three river-valley strike maps. Thermals drop, rotors bite harder and your gunner finally earns his pay.
Five pilots, one strike package
Form a five-ship element, split the loadout between scouts, gunships and medevac cover, then run coordinated raids against rival squadrons for sector control and season crates.
Every hardpoint earns its place
Six underwing pylons, a 30 mm chain gun and a tactical bay that swaps countermeasures for extra rockets. Pick a category and read the loadout before you sign for it.
Slow-mo impact test
Hellfire II rack
Laser-guided anti-armour missiles with fire-and-forget lock. The rack carries eight per pylon and still leaves room for the rocket pod on the inboard station.
Flare bloom capture
Countermeasure suite
Flare dispensers, chaff and an infrared jammer share one bay. Time the burst inside the missile's terminal window and the lock breaks nine times out of ten.
Ripple fire test
Hydra rocket pod
Nineteen unguided rockets per pod, ripple-fired in pairs or dumped in a single saturation pass. Ugly against armour, perfect against soft positions and troop cover.
New to the gunner's seat? Our precision gunnery coaching walks each weapon through live drills, and the mission index shows where every system gets its trial by fire.
Twelve combat zones, three kinds of trouble
Every theatre changes how the airframe flies. Desert thermals shove the rotor, arctic downdrafts punish high hover, and littoral fog swallows your laser marker whole.
Thermal lift from 11:00, sand haze cuts lock range by a quarter.
Rotor icing above 400 m, flares burn brighter in cold air.
Sea fog rolls in fast; carrier decks count as friendly rearm points.
M. “Kestrel” Okafor
Kandahar Gap clean sweep in 4:37, zero hull damage taken.

Weather that fights back
Season 4 rolled in live weather cells. Pick an anomaly and see what it does to lift, visibility and your gunner's temper.
Live capture
Sandstorm modifiers
Risk 4/5Laser marker range drops 35%, engine intake filter clogs after six minutes, and ground targets fade to silhouettes past 900 m.
Live capture
Monsoon modifiers
Risk 3/5Rotor wash kicks spray fifty metres wide so concealment dies fast, but missile plumes track cleaner through wet air.
Live capture
Ion storm modifiers
Risk 5/5Radar flickers, lock tones drop out at random and every unguided rocket suddenly looks like the smart choice.
What the cell does to you
Crew chief note
Fly the storm, don't fight it. Sand cells hide your approach better than any jammer we fit in the bay. Brief your route through the mission list before wheels-up.
The board every pilot watches
Season points decide who sits on the podium. Ratings reset each cycle, so a hungry cadet can still knock a veteran off the top step.

Points to next rank
Two clean strike sweeps this weekend close the gap. Grab a wingman from the squadron desk if you need cover.
Everyone looks at the crown. Smart pilots look at rank four, because that slot bleeds points every reset and nobody defends it well.
Touch controls that respect your thumbs
Three control schemes ship in the box, all rebuilt for Season 4. The stick scheme reads pressure curves, not just direction, so a gentle thumb means a gentle airframe.
Tap scheme
Tap a point on the horizon and the flight computer trims the approach for you. Weapons stay manual, so the sim still has teeth.
Tilt gyro
Bank the phone to bank the airframe. Dead zones are tunable down to half a degree, and the calibration wizard takes twenty seconds.
Virtual stick
A full cyclic on the left, collective on the right. It is the closest thing to a desktop HOTAS that fits in a pocket.
Pair a controller and the HUD re-maps itself automatically. Device support notes live in the pilot briefing.
After dark, the map lights up different
Night theatres run on muzzle flash, NVG glow and city bleed. Three signature routes below, each with its own way to die quietly.
Low run between crane towers, then a lit-up dash across the marina.
Highway underpasses at 40 metres. The roof clearance warning never stops.
Cable stays, crosswind and a SAM nest on the far pylon.
Street canyons lit by signage. GPS drifts, gut instinct navigates.
