About the Game

2D Dogfight is a two-dimensional air combat simulation game. This air combat game was independently developed by an aviation and military enthusiast. At first, it was just a simple plane simulator for simulating aircraft acceleration and maneuvering. Expanded to become a complete independent mini-game. Players can drive various jet fighters and attack aircraft from the early days of the Cold War to modern times, and use cannons, rockets, bombs, various types of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles to complete various types of combat missions. The game style is simple, with basic simulation of the physical and aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft and missiles, allowing players to experience the unique charm of air combat in the two-dimensional world. You can customize combat missions, choose aircraft type and initial state, and freely conduct air combat or ground support. You can also join four different camps including the United States, China, Russia and Europe, and complete a total of 32 alternate historical missions with Cold War and modern backgrounds.
