Player needs to control a large plane and shoot at tanks and helicopters. The bomb button actually fires a bunch of missiles that lock-on and track your enemies.

A dull 1942 derivative.
Game, please don't try to gaslight american troops into thinking bombing hospitals will give them a 3-way.
A good soundtrack unfortunately doesn't save Fighting Hawk from being basic and janky as hell. Taito did successfully capture the Toaplan-style of vertical shooter here (although horizontal panning is oddly absent) but there's nothing special about it besides maybe the snow theme and final stage.
It's a bit of a shame because with its basic enemy formations, mostly doable recoveries and plentiful extends, Fighting Hawk could be a good shmup for beginners looking to get into the retro arcade side of the genre, but the jankiness of enemy collisions here would rightfully put them off.

Num dos estágios, você pode destruir tendas com o símbolo da Cruz Vermelha, sendo recompensando com uma medalha que dá 1000 pontos por isso. Em outras palavras, o jogo te condecora por cometer crimes de guerra. Fora essa acidental dose de realismo, Fighting Hawk é absolutamente soporífico.
