Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — Gameplay screenshot Like Virtua Racing, the game has four view mode buttons: a cockpit view, rear view, top view and an automatic view. The player has a throttle to control the plane's speed (for Expert mode only), a yoke to control the plane's movement, and two triggers to fire machine guns and homing missiles. Wing War has two game modes: Dogfight and Expert. Dogfight is a shoot 'em up fighting style mode, where two aircraft are in battle across the sky while flying towards the finish line at the end of the stage with the most power left unharmed. Expert mode is where the simulation part comes into play. In this mode, the player has full control when flying their plane, but now the controls handle like a real aircraft.
