Lock On: Modern Air Combat is considered as a survey simulator by its creators. It contains 8 flyable aircraft and over 40 non-playable/AI-controlled planes. The game mainly revolves around air-to-air combat and air-to-ground combat with some optional unique roles such as pinpoint/anti-radiation strikes anti-ship strikes or aerobatics. The game realistically models all aspects of take-off and landing AWACS (also known as AEW&C) carrier-based landings (for the Su-33) and aerial refueling.
