iF/A-18E Carrier Strike Fighter

iF/A-18E Carrier Strike Fighter is a flight simulation of the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18E Super Hornet, putting players in command of squadrons in two campaign theaters: the Aegean vs Turkey and the Persian Gulf vs Iran/Iraq. Missions are dynamically generated based on campaign status, allowing players to plan and edit missions before executing. The game offers multiple modes including training, quick missions, instant action, and multiplayer, with 3D accelerated graphics featuring satellite-based terrain.
