Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The game features intense, destructive aerial combat with a focus on 'jaw-dropping explosions' and 'devastating glory' through its Impact Cam. While fictional, the glorification of military combat and the trivialization of violence could be a concern for some players.
