Interceptor Ace: Volume 2 – Last Days of the Luftwaffe, 1944-45

Fight the desperate air war over Germany

Interceptor Ace: Volume 2 continues the acclaimed solitaire series created by Gregory M. Smith, with Fernando Sola Ramos taking players into the final months of the air war over Europe.

Command a German fighter pilot flying from numerous Luftwaffe airbases as you attempt to stop relentless American bomber streams protected by increasingly capable Allied fighter escorts. Every mission becomes a struggle for survival as Germany's military situation steadily deteriorates.

Build your pilot's career through promotions, decorations and new skills while managing your wingman and aircraft throughout a dynamic campaign. New aircraft available in this volume include the revolutionary Me 262, the rocket-powered Me 163 Komet, and the futuristic Horten Ho 229, each bringing unique tactical opportunities.

A major gameplay addition rewards victories against Allied escort fighters, making air-to-air combat more important than ever before. Although designed primarily as a solitaire experience, cooperative and competitive multiplayer options are also included.

The game is fully playable as a standalone title and can also be combined seamlessly with Interceptor Ace: 1943-44 to follow a Luftwaffe pilot throughout the final years of the war.
