Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |

The primary risk is the high level of violence inherent in a combat flight simulator, although it is directed at military targets. Competitive online play may expose players to some toxicity. There are no monetization or compulsion-loop design risks identified.
