F-42 Night Manta is a 3D arcade/action flight simulator for Android. Pilot an advanced stealth strike aircraft. You must pilot your way through an array of enemy defenses. Gun turrets will rotate to fire at you, tanks will explode and flip up into the air after you hit them, light helicopters will dodge your missiles, armored gunships will shrug off your hits, aircraft will scamble to flee as your approach. Unlike other flight-sims, this game has a personality. It knows what you're doing at every step. Gamers who enjoy arcade-style airplane games and air-combat games such as Zaxxon, River Raid, Blue Max, Warhawk, and F-19 should enjoy this game too.
