Among the mission objectives, one can find i.e. supporting allied ground units, advancing on enemy artillery positions and Air Force Bases, taking out convoys, rescuing hostages, and even fighting other gunships. During combat, the player is often accompanied by wingmen, who actively support him by shooting at the enemies from their on-board weapons. The game allows the players to customize their munitions in accordance with their preferences and the situation on the battlefield. Among the available types of weapons, there are various Russian guided missiles - both anti-tank and anti-aircraft - pods with unguided missiles, machine guns, mines, and bombs. Another aspect of the game that one can adjust is the level of realism – in Air Missions: HIND the player can select the general difficulty level, one of the three available craft handling systems, and the gunship’s collision damage level, separately for particular elements of the environment. The game delivers both competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. Moreover, it allows the players to design their own scenarios.

A management-based simulator developed by Every Single Soldier. The player assumes the role of air traffic control officer aboard the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Particular missions take place on the oceans all over the world and involve managing the crew and equipment of the ship - all this to prepare the machines in time for a safe take off from the deck and to ensure their safety when they return from each mission. The aircraft carrier hosts various airplanes (E-2 Hawkeye, F/A-18 Hornet) and choppers (Seahawk, Chinook). Designing the right queue for the machines and avoiding any collisions is crucial, as the difficulty level increases with one’s progress through the game. Moreover, the player has to pay attention to the changing weather conditions. The visuals featured by Carrier Deck are limited; nonetheless, the developers managed to represent the models of particular aircraft quite well - this regards also the USS Ronald Reagan itself.
