Pacific Fighters is an excellent flight simulator for those looking to experience the Pacific theatre of World War II. The controls are realistic, and the missions are varied and challenging. The planes are authentically recreated, and the graphics are stunning. The sound effects are immersive, and the game offers a great sense of accomplishment. If you're a fan of WWII flight sims, Pacific Fighters is definitely worth checking out.

Pacific Fighters is an combat flight simulator based in WWII's pacific campaign. The game is based in the IL-2 Sturmovik simulator, and it can be installed as an expansion pack. However, you don't need IL-2 in order to play the game as it has full stand-alone capabilities. The game centers itself, as the title hints, on the Pacific dogfights between Japanese and Ally aircraft. The game includes a whopping 74 aircrafts, including variants of the same ones. Most famously you can fly the P-51, or the Supermarine Seafire (a modified version of the Spitfire, and yes, the Spitfire is also included). Or maybe flight Japanese aircraft like the Kawasaki Ki-100 or Ki-43. The game includes a ton of new objects not included in IL-2 but the ones that are more exciting than the others are the aircraft carriers. These add a whole new element to the game and also a new challenge. As with IL-2 the simulation, physics are amazing, simply the best you can get in a game these days. This is a game for all simulator fans, even if you don't have IL-2 already.

I have patched up pacific fighters to v4.04, and it has become a better game. My only problem, is in the pacific, they used helldivers and avengers. Niether one is flyable? Plus when is someone going to patch up the engine sound. It is so far off, it almost ruins the game. The birds of prey graphics need to be added in , as well some more airfields. Also it needs a pipercub, a harvard for training, and mabey a c47. The sound really has to be fixed!
