Air Conflicts: Vietnam Ultimate Edition

About

You play as two pilots on opposite sides of the Vietnam War. Fly fighter jets and helicopters in dogfights and ground attacks. The game splits its story between a US Navy pilot and a Vietnamese pilot each with their own missions. Combat leans arcadey but aircraft handling feels tuned for accessibility. Missions range from bombing runs to rescue ops. All set to a soundtrack of 60s rock and military radio chatter. The dual perspective stands out more than most games pull off. Players get 12 campaign missions per side plus 15 bonus ones. Community ratings sit at 68% recommended from 4600 users. Controls stay simple enough for casual pilots but offer enough depth in weapon systems and flight mechanics. No online modes but the single player holds up as a focused war story. Released in 2014 but the jet mechanics still feel responsive.
