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.
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.

A dull 1942 derivative.
