Combat Air Patrol

Summary

Combat Air Patrol is a flight simulation game that showcases the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet during Operation Desert Storm. Players take off from an aircraft carrier, get mission briefings, and carry out combat tasks. The game allows customization of aircraft, selection of pilots, and a distinctive option to pretend to be ill to avoid missions—though doing so too often might draw attention from command. It includes a realistic flight model with detailed animations. The PC edition emphasizes air operations, while the Amiga version adds strategic control of ground forces along with aerial support missions.
