Various terrains (land and sea) are overflown. Targets include battle stationary gun batteries, tanks and destroyers as well as enemy helicopters. Capturing power-up buttons increase helicopter cannon power. Cannon morphs from foward only, to forward and 45 degrees left and right to, all four points of the compass. Final confrontation is with a moving tank protected by superior armour (multiple direct hits required).
