Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies is the second entry in the Ace Patrol series, a turn-based tactical air combat strategy game from Firaxis Games. Players assume command of American or Japanese fighter squadrons during World War II, engaging in historic Pacific Theater battles. Pilot iconic aircraft through dogfights, execute torpedo bombing runs, ambush enemy VIPs, and rescue downed pilots across over 180 missions. Each mission demands strategic positioning and precise maneuver execution to outmaneuver opposing aces.
Successful engagements earn pilots promotions, unlocking new skills and advanced Ace maneuvers. Aircraft receive equipment upgrades, enhancing their combat capabilities for subsequent sorties. Pilots personalize their profiles and customize their aircraft livery. Beyond the single-player campaign, the game offers Hot Seat Multiplayer missions, complete with integrated leaderboards for competitive play. This title delivers a focused, tactical air combat simulation centered on pilot and fleet progression.
