Birds of Prey is an exciting game covering close-in dogfighting jet aircraft. The game uses unique components aiding play and visualization of the three-dimensional fight, and handles the complex physics of flight.

Birds of Prey features:

–  Individual aircraft that fly differently at different speeds, altitudes and weights. Aircraft fly different than one another, based on their individual aerodynamics and real-world performance

-- An exciting and accurate simulation of air combat across the jet age, from the subsonic fighters of the dawn of the jet age to the newest aircraft just entering service today

–  Three dimensional flight that is consistent; whether climbing, flying level, turning obliquely or in any other flight regime. Maneuvers use the basic flight engine and are not special cases

–  Missile flight is straight-forward; varying with altitude, launch speed and individual weapon characteristics

–  Missiles fly by rule and do not get better or worse with player skill

–  Uses a fair, enjoyable initiative system that rewards good tactical play and doesn't overly reward lucky dice

–  Models aircrew factors capturing the impacts of task loading and situational awareness in air combat

–  Color box-miniatures and aircraft data cards

–  Each box-miniature rendered in 1:950th scale, showing relative size of the combatants
