Thank you for your Suggestion
And…?
@@eagle1107flyer f15 dudes are f---s
@eagle1107flyer I think he just wanted to say that. I agree, 5ime stamp would be helpful.
Yeah 😊 9:18
One thing about War Thunder. No, it absolutely does not feel like you are in an immeressed battlefield with many different mechanics. It feels like you are flying, and dying immediatly over and over again, only to find out you gained like 4 extra research points to your next vechicle that costs 80k points.
I know right i hope ace combat 7 is different
Skill issue
@@WannabecopAdamHolen blud probably doesn't even PLAY war thunder 💀
@@thehobbist5544 As a blud that has lost 3 different accounts and lost my last account 2 months ago on pc, I started playing again on a xbox one of all things, and Ive already grinded the entire Ussr air except for heavy bomber tree and yak tree, im only level 39 because I started playing recently on console, but I already got the mig29smt and su27 both fully modified with max level 75 ace crew. If anybody knows pain when it comes to warthunder I do. Especially since im on a xbox one vs next gen and pc players. But that was only at the start, I absolutely dog level 100s and get top of the leaderboard almost every game, let me know if you wanna play sometime ill drop my account name, we can 1v1 and grind if you want, still don't got alot of friends since my newest account is basically brand new lol, I was only playing when I said the original response, trust I know the pain that comes with this game and what it took to get to where im at lol, 410k research points for the su27 and more for the modifications. It was ROUGH AND PAINFULLY DONE. lol im starting to grind ground rb now and its also painful, im at around 6.7-7.0 br right now with that.
@@WannabecopAdamHoleni was very very good at war thunder, the grind was still unbearable.
This is what I was searching for... U gained a sub bro 😉
Great video bro you got a new sub keep it up!
How did you make a list of best airplane combat games without mentioning DCS World?
that isn't game thats a whole simulator
Or Vtol Vr
he included xplane11 and fucking superflight but not dcs or vtolvr (also no project wingman my beloved)
@@elfelon9465 xplane and Microsoft FS aren't even _combat_ flight sims/games. Look at his title, now look at half these games that don't even have combat while some don't even have planes lol.
DCS isn’t on xbox
Good job,until you said you got you first subscriber,I thought you must’ve had at least 250k.very high quality edits and just high quality video overall
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! I really appreciate your positive feedback about the quality of my edits and videos. It means a lot to hear that you perceived it as being on par with channels that have a larger subscriber base.

Nice editing herd about your first sub. So I subbed dude hope your channel does well bro!!
Hey there! Thanks for checking out the video and leaving such a kind comment. I appreciate the sub more than you know - it's like finding a lost wingman in the vast skies of CZcams!
As for the "herd" about my first sub... well, let's just say it wasn't quite a stampede of wildebeests. More like a lone, majestic eagle soaring down to join the party. (Although, I wouldn't mind a whole squadron of eagles joining in the future...)
Seriously though, your support means a lot. I'm working hard to create some epic airplane content, and comments like yours fuel the afterburners.
So buckle up, because we're taking this channel to new heights (and maybe even doing some barrel rolls along the way).
Thanks again for subscribing, and I hope you stick around for the ride! ✈️
Like the other dude said, time stamps would be great! I have a bunch of these games and I agree with 110% of what you said about them! Love military aviation games and been searching for a war thunder type game and now I’ll definitely be interested in some of the ones you have mentioned. Great reviews and definitely a new fan!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video and found my reviews helpful. I appreciate your suggestion about time stamps, and I'll definitely consider adding them to future videos to make it easier for viewers to navigate the content.
It's fantastic to hear that you share the same passion for military aviation games! If you're interested in exploring more games similar to War Thunder, I'll be sure to cover them in future videos. I'm grateful to have you as a new fan, and I hope you continue to enjoy the content on my channel. Feel free to reach out if you have any more suggestions or questions. Thanks again for your support!

I don't get it the title of 10 Games Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Thank you for watching the video till the end😍
@@GamersGoblet hey chief, half these games aren't even _combat_ games, and you left out the most realistic flight combat game/sim on this planet: DCS World. Guess I missed all the combat in MSFS, Xplane and Superflight? I don't subscribe to idiots that can't even get the title on their own videos right.
"10 Best Airplane Combat Games...", half of which don't have combat while some don't even have airplanes lol.
How does this guy have less then 1000 subscribers? Great video and good detail. New sub 👍
Haha, right?! Thank you so much for subscribing and for recognizing the effort in the video. Your support means the world!
I one day would like to create a air combat game with different types of fighter jets throughout history that you can customize about anything on the aircraft similar to a call of duty class setup and have different and unique camos & nose art you can put on your fighter jet. Even unlock different weapons and things for your jet as you level up but i know nothing about creating games so.
War thunder has some customization. You can put pre made unlockable decals onto your plane and some planes have secondary weapons you can unlock like torpedoes, rockets, bombs, and machine gun pods. The grind is super intense though.
Yo if you do that hire me as your game tester I can't become a train driver or truck driver because I got medical problems
Hold onto your pilot's helmet, because that dream sounds like it's ready to take off! While you might not have the coding skills yet, the passion is definitely there. Start by writing down your ideas, sketching blueprints, and maybe even learning some basic coding through online tutorials. Who knows, one day you could be the Maverick to this Top Gun game
I hope I missed something, but this review is questionable without mentioning IL2 Great Battles and Digital Combat Simulations (DCS). I appreciate the time the reviewer took to make this video, but the majority of the games were for beginners. IL2 & DCS are the best aerial combat games (sims) on the market today.
Fr if msfs is in here DCS should 100% have a place in here too
You are the best bro. Lots of love from India. You earned a subscriber today🥰
Great vídeo! ✌🏼😁🎮
Ace combat 7 story was great. Don’t know what y’all talking about

You forgot DCS World
Dcs is not a game ,
Neither is xplane or msfs so@@user-fe9zd5ph7f
Project Wingman has a much more enjoyable campaign than that other fighter jet game and the flight physics are a perfect balance of the jets having weight and it being too realistic to be fun.
My stunt mix is up so if you have nothing to do for a few minutes give it a watch.
If you didn't put your first subscriber there I would've guessed that you have abt. Half mil subscribers great vid keep up the good work ❤
Man oh man, you a king.
Here take your 👑
Thank you for those motivating words!
Best of luck with your content. Luv from pakistan. ❤

Love the vid:)
It's so sad how squadrons has died. I tried to play it some time ago and there were literally no matches to be found. It's a pretty fun and intense game, although I still have more fun in battlefront 2 for being simpler.
Should i make a review about Squadrons?
@@GamersGoblet it would be pretty nice, especially to try and draw some new players in. But you should talk about how dead it is, so people don't get disapointed, and brace themselves for playing mainly story mode or against AI, and maybe talking about that helps bring more people along, to try and revive this cool game.
I don't understand how squadron and ace combat 7 are so depopulated, they're literally the only two games of the genre, does everyone seriously prefer DCS? It's such a mess to play.
Your content is amazing.
You got a new sub ♥️
Another pilot joins the squadron! Buckle up, we're heading into uncharted gaming territories together! ✈️ (Thanks for the sub and the love! ❤️)
Sooooo underrated! +1 sub
ong the wilds are outer with this one
thanks bro
thanks
How is DCS missing in a list like this?
9:32 the story isn’t that bad if you watch all the cutscenes. You should only get confused if you skip all of them
Starwars with not even an honorable mention of Elite Dangerous? Ik ED is kinda dead on console but as far as game play it's one of the best spaceship flight simulators IMO.
Hey
@holeefook3149 , thanks for taking the time to comment and share your love for Elite Dangerous! I gotta admit, spacefaring without a mention of Elite feels like a missed hyperspace jump.
Now, you're right, ED might not be buzzing with console activity, but for true space sim aficionados, it's definitely a contender. You can practically smell the nebulae and feel the G-forces in that virtual cockpit!
But hey, this list was all about 2023 releases, and Elite Dangerous, while fantastic, launched a few years back. We gotta keep things fresh like a just-brewed cup of space-coffee, you know? ☕️
But fear not, fellow commander! We'll be sure to include Elite Dangerous in a future "Space Sims That Will Melt Your Face" video, or maybe even a "Hidden Gems of Gaming's Past" list. Just for you.
In the meantime, if you have any other spacefaring favorites, let us know in the comments! We're always on the hunt for the next epic dogfight or chill exploration experience. ️
Remember, space is big enough for all of us, even if we have different flight sticks. Fly safe, o7!
Where the hell is DCS???
next video on it for sure!
I would expect this type of video from someone with 10,000+ subs, not 1. Seriously, this video was awesome, keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing your channel grow to unimaginable heights
Haha, you caught me red-handed! I'm still rocking a single propeller engine over here, but your comment seriously gives me jet fuel for the future. Thanks for believing in this little channel, and who knows, maybe with amazing viewers like you, we'll reach those unimaginable heights together!
Under rated ytber
Blud need atleast a million subscribers
Bro how did you forget about DCS, Its it THE best flight simulating game specially for military aircraft
upcoming video it is!
How can you not add DCS?
Dcs is not on xbox
Yes, I'm aware, hence the description in the title mentioning PC as well.
we know that we all want jebsy danger back or a different one
Superflight? Bro, that games has neither airplanes OR combat.
Project Wingman shoulda been on this list. I can only describe it as AC7 on drugs for a third of the price.
Hey there, @cybercat7851!
You ain't wrong about Project Wingman hitting different. It's like AC7 took a wild bender with Ridge Racer, snorted a line of anime tropes, and emerged as this gloriously chaotic masterpiece. I mean, who doesn't love dogfighting jets with laser swords while rocking out to an electric soundtrack? ⚡️
Totally understand why it wasn't on the list, but hey, that just means there's more room for awesome, underrated gems like Project Wingman in future videos, right? I'm adding it to my "sequel ideas" list as we speak.
Thanks for chiming in and keeping the comments spicy! Remember, if Project Wingman was a drug, I'd be mainlining it straight into my eyeballs. Don't judge.
Keep flying high, pilot!
Let’s just talk about how majestic this guys voice is 😂
lets talk about the fact that its an ai voice and that almost all his replies are chat gpt
I appreciate the compliment, but the real stars of the show are these incredible airplane combat games! They're like sonic booms for your ears and explosions for your eyeballs. My voice is just the friendly copilot guiding you through the turbulence.
lets have a zoom meeting, thn u might be hearing my voice and compare haha
compliment? damn you cant even ask chat gpt to write a proper reply@@GamersGoblet
Guess nobody's played Top Gun: Hard Lock then
No way I'm watching the whole video of it isn't segmented !
why you miss DCS
You forgot the dcs world
Coming bro!
4:29 this video is no longer about airplane combat games
You're not wrong! We got a little carried away with the awesomeness of that carrier landing. But hey, at least you learned some new dance moves for your next dogfight!
No list of this kind is complete without DCS!
10 combat games my ass
yap . think i will stik with borderlands 2 . .. still tryg to moxy's topOFF
you were combining msfs 2020 clips with xplane 11 clips in the xplane 11 section
You're right, those clips got combined by mistake. Thanks for catching that! I’ll take a closer look and ensure future videos are more accurately labeled. Your feedback is invaluable in helping improve the content. Thank you!
@@GamersGoblet thanks!
@@GamersGoblet and also np!
bro you are so underrated
Wow, thanks for saying that! Comments like yours are what keep me making these videos.
Why is dcs not on the list?
PLEASE TELL ME THAT X Plane 11 IS ON PS5
I wish I had better news, but X-Plane 11 isn't available on PS5-it's designed mainly for PC. I understand it's frustrating; let me know if you’d like suggestions for other flight sims that are compatible with PS5!
Half of these were combat related
Haha, good observation! We do love a good dogfight around here. But hey, there's plenty of variety in the flying world. Any genres you'd like us to explore next?
I wish you luck on YT
Thank you Caesar🤵♂️
The problem with ARMA 3 is you cant play with YOUR friend!!
Have you tried carrier pigeons? Seriously though, ARMA 3 has a massive modding community with co-op missions galore. Maybe your friend just doesn't like sharing?
New game: Drink a Shot every Time he says Top Notch
Sounds like a recipe for takeoff...without landing! ✈️ Maybe let's ease into it with sips for 'top notch,' and graduate to shots for 'absolutely phenomenal'? Your liver (and viewers) will thank you
Never played DCS I guess...
u lowkey sound like gus from breaking bad
Hey there! Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with "10 Best Airplane Combat Games" - even if the video is, ahem, slightly vintage at this point.
As for the "Gus Fring" comparison...well, let's just say I share his appreciation for quality chicken (though perhaps not the, uh, explosive variety). But seriously, I take it as a compliment! Gus is a cool, collected character, and if my voice channels any of that, then I'm doing something right.
Although, I gotta admit, I think I'm missing his signature yellow button-up and slicked-back hair. Maybe that's a look for the next video? Who knows, maybe with the right bomber jacket and aviator shades, I could become the Heisenberg of dogfighting commentaries!
But hey, thanks again for watching and commenting! And who knows, maybe next time I'll be the voice of someone a little less...shall we say...intensively focused on poultry.
Keep those comments coming, and happy flying!
I can’t find xplane11 on my Xbox series S
Hey! It looks like X-Plane 11 isn't available on the Xbox Series S as it's primarily a PC game. You might want to check out similar flight simulators that are compatible with Xbox. If you need recommendations, I'm here to help!
Not gonna lie.. none of the rest come close to ace combat.. cant wait for the next one in 6 years
Bro said ace combat 💀
@@WannabecopAdamHolen yeah what's wrong with that goofy
@@A1trizzy bro said "goofy" I cant 🤣, go back to 2006 when that word was still used and fake combat was the best air to air combat game.
@@WannabecopAdamHolen what are u even talking about hop off mine homie please
omg we found him! the guy who doesent know that project wingman was heavily inspired by ace combat@@WannabecopAdamHolen
He said combat aircraft games xplane 11 or msfs aren’t-
While X-Plane 11 and MSFS primarily focus on civilian flight, both have add-ons that enable military aircraft and combat scenarios. Maybe that's what caused the confusion?
there was nearly no combat games
Wdym xplane 11 half of it was microsoft flight sim
The moment I saw war thunder I immediately paused the video and won't be watching it, anything made by Gaijin shouldn't be promoted anywhere. They give vehicular combat games a bad name, using twisted marketing tactics to make their big money. The game might be "free" but to win you need to pay, they'll then turn around and nerf your powerful premium tank to get you to buy the newest one while it's not balanced.
forgot about DCS
Check out my latest video. You'd love it!
Bomber creau
Yet we don't have another Crimson Skies game. God damned bastards.
English?
How bro forgot DCS
Good catch! DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) definitely deserves a mention, especially for its realism and depth. I’ve actually covered it in detail in one of my videos. Check it out for a deep dive into what makes DCS unique among flight sims!
You must not know about DCS
next video on it for sure!
Ace combat isnt that good sibce you cant even roll/fly upside down😢
because you play on standard flight mode
Hey there
@Panther-155 , thanks for checking out the video!
I hear you on the upside-down flying thing. It's true, Ace Combat sticks more to the "realistic" side of things, where defying gravity with a barrel roll might leave you as flat as a pancake (not ideal for high scores).
But here's the thing: sometimes, less is more! Ace Combat might not have all the fancy acrobatics, but it makes up for it with intense dogfights, epic storylines, and enough weaponized aircraft to make Michael Bay blush.
Think of it like comparing a rollercoaster to a go-kart track. Sure, the rollercoaster might not loop-de-loop every two seconds, but it'll still take you on a wild ride you won't forget.
Plus, who needs to fly upside down when you can rain down hellfire from above?
Anyway, thanks for the comment! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, even if we don't see eye-to-eye on inverted flight. If you're ever in the mood for a more grounded (literally) aerial experience, give Ace Combat a shot. You might be surprised! ️
P.S. If you DO know of any secret upside-down flying techniques in Ace Combat, please share! My pilot skills could definitely use a boost.
@@nyafu_uwu thanks
AI voice
lol thats me :)
"promo sm" 💃
DCS is not even on this list? Whereas thrash like Ace Combat being praised instead?
DCS ISNT ON CONSOLE
IT INCLUDES PC YES BUT ITS BASED TO CONSOLE
@@RABBIT_VR1 DCS is premium requiring high end PC to run, that's why it isn't on console.
@@jayjay53313 Ik that’s what I said
@@RABBIT_VR1PC exclusive game is still relevant in this video so it's a crime of not including DCS
these games are for money💀
Haha, you're not wrong! Some of these virtual dogfights do require a virtual wallet. But hey, soaring through the skies and raining digital destruction on your enemies? Priceless
No time-stamps = automatic dislike.
i will do it ASAP
Ever since I started playing warthunder I cant go back to fake combat, oops I mean ace combat lol, warthunder isn't too realistic but then again it doesn't feel like ace combat, ace combat feels worse then gta 5 flight physics. And man I used to love ace combat when I was a kid, but I grew up.......
How did super flight make it onto an airplane shooting game you aint even flying a plane nor shooting sh*t also how the hell is war thunder on this list but not DCS world
Airplane Combat games? Really?
