Dogfight 1942 Description
Dogfight 1942 is an arcade flight simulator, in which the players take part in grand battles of World War II, namely the Battle of Britain and the battles in the Pacific. There are over 20 various missions to complete, including dogfights, bombing runs, or escorting. We have more than a dozen of British and American aircraft to choose from.
In the game, we observe the battlefield from behind the airplane we control. Dogfight 1942 offers rather simple physics, where targeting the enemy units is very simple and does not require the skills typical for the so-called “serious” flight simulators.
In Dogfight 1942, we take part in a several historical events, such as the defence of London, intercepting V1 and V2 missiles, the Battle of Midway, or the Battle of Iwo Jima.
The difficulty level of the game is dynamically adjusted, based on the player’s behaviour. The production features two controls schemes: simulation and arcade. The latter is best suited for less skilled players.

Screensaver Deleted Players' Saves. We Recall One of History's Most Absurd Bugs
Today's loss of saves from outside the cloud doesn't seem so bad. However, in the case of this title, players had it a little worse.
