Iron Wings
Iron Wings is primarily an arcade game, a flying shooter, where shooting won’t be enough, where each weapon or tool mounted on each of the two planes will have its role on completing each mission, and you’ll have to deal with the decision on what to do and how to do it.

Each of the two planes you will pick will carry different extra tools to be used during the mission.
