Overview and Gameplay
From an aircraft carrier positioned in a vast island war zone, a lone attack helicopter is deployed to dismantle an expanding industrial war machine. The mission unfolds across a connected open map where enemy factories continuously produce defensive units such as aircraft, tanks, boats, and missile systems.
Each factory grows more dangerous the longer it remains active, increasing resistance across the region. Players must locate and destroy all major production sites while managing damage, ammunition, and return trips to the carrier for repairs and resupply.
