Sky Watch

You are flying over a firing range at dusk. Armoured vehicles patrol below, turning their barrels toward you and firing where they think you will be. Before the mission starts you choose one of four unmanned aircraft: the balanced classic, the more agile carrier-capable one, the slow heavyweight that kills armour in a single hit, or the fast jet that fires in quick succession. Each differs in speed, hull strength, munition count and firepower, so the aircraft you pick decides how you play. Munitions fall unguided, so flying straight over a target does not work: the dashed trajectory line on screen shows where the drop will land, and you have to release ahead of the target. Hold your position over a target and the lock fills; once it completes, the munition becomes guided and steers itself in. Three vehicle types wait on the ground: armour that leads its shots, short-range anti-aircraft vehicles that fire in three-round bursts, and unarmed supply trucks. Hitting a supply truck gives you one munition back, which makes them a lifeline when your racks run dry. Every wave arrives larger and the enemy fires more often; clearing a wave earns a bonus. When your hull integrity runs out the mission ends and your score, the wave you reached, your kill count and your accuracy are shown. On desktop you fly with W A S D or the arrow keys and release with the space bar; on phone and tablet you drag the screen to fly and tap FIRE to strike. The targets represent unmarked test armour on a closed range, not a real conflict.
