Birds of Prey: TOPGUN

What is Birds of Prey: TOPGUN

1986. Present day. The Indian Ocean. OPFOR airspace. Across 36 years of technological advancement, can you still prove you’re the best of the best? From its small start in a trailer out back of Miramar’s hangar row and validated in the skies over Vietnam, the role of the Navy Fighter Weapons School exploded into public consciousness at the climax of the Cold War. Hollywood’s flash and fiction can’t distract from one consistent theme — the drive to win. Not as a lone maverick, but part of a team; pilot and RIO, lead and wingman. Together, just like the name — one word, all caps — TOPGUN.

Face an array of Navy adversaries and opposing air forces hell–bent on teaching you very real lessons. Fortunately for you, you are not going it alone! Included are a variety of scenarios teaching the real-life tactics for employing your mighty wings. This game is about combat, so study hard and lean into what you’ve learned. There are no points for second place!
