Combat Pilot - Early Preview of Akagi

Welcome to the first video about Combat Pilot! A new hardcore combat flight-simulator set in the Pacific Theater during WWII. Combat Pilot is being developed by international development studio Entropy.Aero. A subsidiary of Barbedwire Studios in partnership with Skystreak Productions LLC.

In this video we take an impromptu tour of our IJN Akagi aircraft carrier that is under development. It’s a large ship that went toe to toe with the American fleet at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. She was lost during the battle after being hit by American dive-bombers and set ablaze. She was eventually scuttled by other Japanese ships who torpedoed her on the order of Admiral Yamamoto.
