Controls:

• Crank -  Rotate the airplane in the air
• D-Pad Left - Shoot
• D-Pad Down - Drop a bomb

How to Play:

Basics of navigation: each target will be shown on the sides of the screen depending on the direction of the target, if you see points on the sides that means targets are present in that direction. The closest targets will have a larger point indicator. Targets that are too far will have a slow update of points indication.  Some of the points will be blinking, which means it buildings. Rombs indicates hard targets.

Home base indication - white circle with black outline, blinking.

Mission indication: 

on both sides of the screen will be shown mission information, icons of targets with a count of done/total, and target icons disappear when all targets done

To  complete a level you should back to the base when you destroyed all targets in the mission list, an indication of targets on both screen sides should be empty

If you have non completed target with an indication of landing at the secondary base, that means you should land at the secondary base to complete the mission

Gameplay Tips:

• Air Defense - To disable air defense turrets find radars and destroy them. Different radars can control different turrets. Sometimes it needs to destroy all radars to disable turrets.

• Loot - When you destroy an enemy airplane it drops loot, which can be money or extra bombs, as well as repair tools.

• Explodable objects - use explodable objects to destroy buildings or turrets, also land-based targets, when you shoot at explodable objects marked with a "!" sign it can destroy all around it while it explodes.

• Strategy - Not every mission is easy to complete just shooting all around, sometimes you need to think about strategy, first, try to find radars and destroy them, then destroy some hangars to reduce the enemy airplanes count, and then complete other targets of the mission.

• Enemy Bombers - Sometimes enemy bomber airplanes come, they can destroy your airbase. Try to destroy them before they reach your base. If they come and start attacking your base, you also can destroy bombs in the air, by just shooting them. 

• Boses - most effective to destroy bosses using bombs, as well they can be defeated just by shooting them but that can be too long

And p.s., sorry for my bad English, I have to learn it still, that is not my first language and I have no copywriter, all the text is just written by me from a head. Hope that will not affect the overall impression of the game, have a nice play
