Hours and hours spent on this. Career mode, personalized pilots in your squadron. From what I recall good flight dynamics for the time and challenging. Love this game. Would buy it immediately from GOG even with newer pc titles out there.

Only got this one after it's sequel (SWOTL), but played it for long hours in the summer of 94, and after. Despite not having a long career mode (the game depicts the battle of britain, after all), the campaign mode was quite good for the time. As the other two games from the trio (Battle Hawks 1942, Their Finest Hour and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe), I would say the one of the short falls is the lack of aerial collisions.

Back in 1990 i was in high school and was obsessed with this game, on the Amiga. It formed my interest in WW2 history, and then... broader history in general. As well as flight sims. I actually had a roster of pilots all based off my school class and when they died i kinda felt it!

After Burner Climax
After Burner ClimaxSega's airborne combat series soars back into arcades with more than 20 stages of high-flying action in After Burner Climax. Players can climb into the cockpit of an F-14 Super Tomcat, an F-15E Strike Eagle, or an F/A-19E Super Hornet and speed through the skies, dodging planes, rockets, and bullets while try to target and take down as many enemies as possible. A branching storyline and time limits force gamers into split-second decisions, but once the "Climax Gauge" is full, time slows down momentarily to let pilots unleash a screen-clearing fusillade of bullets. The game was delisted on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in December 2014. The mobile versions followed suit, being delisted in May 2015. In April 2019, the mobile versions were relisted as free games containing ads as apart of the Sega Forever line, before being delisted once again at an unknown date.
