At the heart Gunship Recon The conflict between Willsword (the state that the player represents) and Maxell (hostile state) lies. The very essence of the gameplay is to perform military operations using a combat helicopter. For each next task, the player will have a new goal like the destruction of the enemy armored vehicles, the salvation of hostages, the assault, followed by the destruction of fortifications, and so on. The control of the aircraft is simple, and after several minutes of stay in the air you can fully adapt.

Most of the Gunship Recon task take place on the battlefield with an area of ​​2 square kilometers. From the very start, the system will show at what distance the user is the nearest enemy. In addition, the total number of enemies, as well as union units (several fighters protecting the helicopter), is displayed in the upper right corner. As for weapons, there are machine guns and missiles in the arsenal. Their simultaneous use will allow to inflict crushing damage on the target. But it is important to remember that enemies are capable of reciprocal attacks. For example, enemy tanks at the sight of a flying ship will begin to shoot in response. Yes, the damage from their hits will be insignificant, but the explosive wave from destroyed equipment can affect the controllability of the helicopter. Enemies in the air, namely, fighters, will be much more dangerous. Particular caution should be observed with them, because their attacks take place at high speed, and you need to avoid getting under the fluvial fire.

Tasks take place at different times of the day, so the gamers often have to perform operations in the middle of the night. Nevertheless, this will not become a big problem, because next to the necessary objects will always be located light sources. Also, for convenience, a gamer can change the location of the camera. With the help of this option, you can fight not only from the general plan, but also from the cockpit.
