Skies above the Great War CD Key

Skies above the Great War

Set on the Western Front during the First World War, you command the air forces from either the Allied or the German side. The fate of aerial combat rests in your hands as you steer the course of history from above the trenches.

Every aircraft is fully simulated in real time, and you can take direct control of any plane at any moment to join the fight yourself. Engage in accessible yet demanding dogfights with detailed damage models that reward precision, timing, and strategic thinking.

Build a durable air war machine and turn the skies into your theater of operations. Provide your airfields with machines and pilots, then dispatch them on missions that support your overall war strategy in a persistent 10.000 square kilometers wide gameworld fully simulated in real time. Weather, patrol routes, and enemy responses all respond to your choices, creating a living, breathing air war.

Choose from a range of missions—from reconnaissance and front-line patrolling to strategic bombing and balloon hunting—and tailor your approach to outmaneuver the enemy. You can also influence innovation by hiring manufacturers such as Fokker or Sopwith to produce aircraft and drive the development of new models that cope with the enemy’s advancing tech.

Management is hands-on yet rewarding: organize airfields and squadrons for maximum efficiency, customize every aircraft with paintings and insignias, and give each pilot a distinct portrait and talent. Train your crew, assign them to squadrons, and deploy them where they will make the biggest impact on the battle above the front lines.

Names of talented newcomer pilots may echo through the ranks, offering familiar touches for history enthusiasts. If you prefer a different pace, you can hand control over to the AI and play the game exactly as you like—whether you seek a hands-on sky duel or a strategic, large-scale air war.
