==Planes== Ah, the stars of the show. The aircraft are the focus of the game, and it certainly shows. The selection of the aircraft within the game is expansive and accurate. The aircraft are introduced through the campaign in a historically-accurate timeline. You start with the P-40 Warhawk and slowly work your way up as aircraft designs improve. Unfortunately, your enemies also benefit from better aircraft on their side as well. Special "Bonus" aircraft can be obtained by completing an entire theatre on the hardest difficulty setting. As well, once you finish the campaign, you have the ability to fly all the aircraft your enemy has. This lends itself well to extended replayability of the campaign and other missions. ===Upgrades=== Another neat feature of the game is aircraft upgrades. Most of the aircraft in the game can be upgraded at least once, if not a few times, to newer and more effective models. Each upgrade costs a certain number of "points" that can be accumulated by playing through missions. The difficult setting also helps determine the number of points gained. ===Workshop=== Once you've chosen a plane for a mission, you can also "tweak" a few settings on the aircraft before you fly. These settings range from your bomb loadout or cannon/gun configuration, to the harmonization of your main guns. One particularly useful feature is the ability to set your gun sights to "ground attack" mode. This aims your guns at a slightly downward angle as opposed to directly forward. This becomes a huge advantage when attacking ground targets, allowing you to stay flying while you attack your targets rather than executing fast, numerous dives at your target. ===Aircraft=== The aircraft in the game are divided into four categories: Fighters, Dive Bombers, Torpedo Bombers, and Heavy Bombers. {{spoiler}} ''Although this isn't actually a huge spoiler of the game, many people enjoy being surprised by the hidden and bonus aircraft they can come across, or want to wait and see the aircraft progress historically throughout the campaign. If this is the case, please forego reading the below.'' ====Fighters==== P-40 Warhawk F-4F Wildcat F-4U Corsair Sea Fire Yak 3 P-47 Thunderbolt P-38 Lightning Tempest P-51 Mustang F6F Hellcat P-61 Black Widow P-80 Shooting Star F8F Bearcat ====Dive Bombers==== SBD Dauntless ====Torpedo Bombers==== TBD Devastator TBF Avenger ====Heavy Bombers==== PBY Catalina B-26 Marauder B-25 Mitchell
