2D Dogfight

2D Dogfight is a two-dimensional air combat simulation game in which you fly jet fighters and attack aircraft from the early Cold War to the present. Use cannons, rockets, bombs, and air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles to complete combat missions. The game simulates basic aircraft and missile physics and aerodynamics, including how maneuvering and climbing reduce speed.

Aircraft and tactics

The game includes more than 100 aircraft, from the F-86 Saber and MiG-15 Bis to the F-35 Lightning II and J-20 Mighty Dragon. Aircraft performance affects your tactics: for example, air-to-air missiles have greater range when launched at high altitude and speed. Weapons include infrared- and radar-guided air-to-air missiles, laser-guided bombs and anti-radiation missiles, supporting both air combat and ground attacks.

Missions and campaigns

You can customize combat missions by choosing an aircraft type and its initial state, then fly freely in air combat or ground support. You can also join one of four camps: the United States, China, Russia or Europe. The game has 32 alternate-history missions across Cold War and modern settings, including flying the F-86 through MiG Alley and taking the Su-27 over the English Channel.
