Take to the skies! Guide your Imperial Navy or Ork Airwaagh squadron to victory and experience every dive, roll and ultra high-G turn through desperate dogfights in this tactical aerial combat game. Life is the Emperor’s currency, spend it well.
Aeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command propels the excitement of the Warhammer 40,000 universe into the stratosphere in a richly detailed aerial combat game.
Enter the arena of tactical airborne warfare like never before as you launch into the war-torn skies of the 41st Millennium. Plan your manoeuvres and issue your commands, then pray to the Emperor (or to Gork and Mork) as your strategy unfolds in real time cinematic playback. Take to the skies as the heroes of the Imperial Navy and defend the Imperium or take command of the Ork Airwaagh and lead the planetary plundering from the air, for when the skies are dominated, control over the land soon follows.
Delivering a deep yet visually engaging combination of simultaneous turn-based strategy and atmospheric cinematic action, Aeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command takes the core mechanics and complexity of the tabletop game and streamlines them into an immersive tactical experience with more explosions!

Set to release in May, the game puts players in command of either the Imperial Navy or the Ork Airwaaagh and lets you build a squadron exactly like Aeronautica Imperialis. All the elements from the tabletop seem to be in place here. In the trailer you can see anti-air batteries raining fire upon foes, while planes follow outlined movement paths.
It’s turn-based, so if you were hoping for a new 40K Flight Sim, I’m afraid you’ll still have to wait for that. But if you’re looking to recreate the tabletop experience, or to try it out for yourself if you haven’t yet, then Aeornautica Imperialis is launching in May.
Good Luck Pilots!
