WarBirds 2026

 
WarBirds 2026 is both an MMO and Single Player Combat Flight Simulation and aerial shooter. This is a game where flying skill matters. It is not an arcade shooter. Fly well and survive. Fly poorly and you will be called "target."

With over 30 years of development, WarBirds 2026 continues to set the standard for historical accuracy in flight simulation.
