• Perform Intense Aircraft Carrier Takeoffs and Landings Not limited to in-air combat, certain missions in Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII accurately replicate one of the most challenging aspects of aerial warfare - - landing on the aircraft carrier from which you launched. Just as you would when preparing for a real battle, take control of your plane and get it airborne. After obliterating the enemy, guide your aircraft back to the flight deck to complete a successful mission.
• Compatible with Flight Stick Controllers, Including the Pacific AV8R FlightStick Styled after WWII combat aircraft and custom-crafted to perform with Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII, the Pacific AV8R FlightStick imparts the sensation of true flight. With a soft-touch rubber finish for extreme comfort during extended missions and a grip similar to those found in historic military planes, the precise control required to conquer the enemy and rule the skies is in your hands.
