Gunship Overwatch
A soldier is down. You are the gunship overhead.
A soldier is down somewhere below you. The Dustoff is twelve minutes out. You are the AC-130 circling overhead, and nothing reaches him unless it gets past you.
Gunship Overwatch puts you in the sensor operator's seat of an AC-130 gunship. Everything you see comes through a thermal sight: white-hot figures moving between buildings, engines glowing on the road in, the flash of your own rounds landing. Pick a gun, lead the target, and keep the perimeter clear until the helicopter lifts him out.
Three guns, one sight
- 25mm for troops in the open — fast, light, and it overheats if you lean on it.
- 40mm for trucks, technicals and anyone behind a wall.
- 105mm for armor. One round, if you put it where it counts.
Ammunition is what you lift off with. There is no resupply over the target, so every round is a decision.
A campaign across thirteen regions
156 missions over real terrain: river towns and desert crossroads, mountain passes, a canyon floor, jungle paddies, a frozen airfield, a hill fort stormed from four roads at once. Every map is different, every mission names the soldier you are there for, and the twelfth mission of each region is a boss fight.
Support on the radio
Earn twelve support units as the campaign goes on and call them in by radio: a UAV that marks every hostile, a sentry gun, mortars you walk with your crosshair, a Humvee full of marines, a sniper pair on the roof, a corpsman who runs in to the man down, Littlebird gun runs, an A-10, an F-15 strike, an Apache that hunts on its own, and a laser-guided missile you steer to the hit. Once earned they are yours for every mission.
Eleven special weapons
One call each per mission, straight from the ammo cache: napalm, rocket salvos, cluster bombs, Hellfires, a jammer that blinds the enemy, a minigun that follows your crosshair, heat-seekers, smoke, a stun charge, a medic crate, and the MOAB. Level them up and they hit harder, reach farther and last longer.
The enemy fights back
Infantry, RPG teams, snipers who hide until they fire, mortar crews walking rounds onto your soldier, technicals, APCs, IFVs, rocket artillery, tanks, and air defence that will shoot down your support aircraft — and your helicopter, if you leave it standing. Protected buildings are marked: hit one and it costs you.
Earn your way up
Credits from every mission buy gun levels in the armory: more rounds, more damage. Supply crates drop new weapons. Three stars on a mission need a clean sight and a soldier brought home healthy. Free Play opens every region once you want a fight without the campaign.
