Gameplay
The game features both a single-player mode as well as a multiplayer mode supporting Ad-hoc and Infrastructure mode. The game features a co-operative campaign which can be played with up to four players as well as a competitive multiplayer mode supporting up to eight players. Some missions in the campaign will make use of Joint Assault Mission System, which breaks the players into teams and has them coordinate attacks where each effort can affect the other team's situation. A new feature of the game is the Enhanced Combat View mechanic, which removes the distanced fighting seen in almost every flight simulation game.

For the first time, the series will be set in the real world, with missions situated around locations such as London, Egypt, Midway, San Francisco and Tokyo. More than 40 different aircraft types have been licensed for use in Joint Assault.
