Your targets may include fighters (including aces, who fly much better than other pilots), bombers (turrets are extremely dangerous), balloons, zeppelins, cars, trucks, trains, hangars, and other buildings.

All components of the game fit together very nicely, making the game smooth and fairly fast. Plot makes it much more fun than campaigns in other "pure" flight simulators, and yet the game is a very good flight sim.
