Reminds me of Defender, a faster version with a 'Smart Bomb!' that was so fun to use :)

I've spent endless hours playing Sopwith! What a legend!

Discovered this on an old Apple 2 in the 90s. Loved the basic physics of things like flying inverted or flying down low and then releasing a bomb while pulling up into a steep climb so the bomb would fly more laterally to a target.

I was just thinking of this game last night. I was wondering if AI could take the ASM and convert it into a browser game. Playable w/o DOSBOX.

I fondly remember what essentially is a more modern clone of Sopwith - "Pe-2 diving bomber"
It is fun. Shoot-bomb-rearm/refuel in missions, upgrade your plane in between

This is the first computer game I remember playing on my brother's Commodore Colt. I was very bad at it.
This game was so fun. I think there's a lot of unexplored game design in this style of 2d aviation.
The multiplayer game Altitude was a good modern example.

We had an awesome split screen dogfighting game on a Win98 PC where everyone had a Spitfire-like plane and tried to take the others down. You could land at your base and heal etc. Super fun. I think it was called Iron Birds? Don't think I've found it since.

Lufteauser is a bigger space & higher motion, but has hit some good vibes for me, in this zone. Single player.
We were always begging the daycare to let us play this. Very solid.
