It's okay but a bit arcadey for my taste. If you're looking for high quality and realistic combat flight sims, there's only one for mobile phones at the moment. It's the only game consistently on my phone.

And it's earlier incarnations: Mig Alley and Gunship 3 (Vietnam AF, Strike and Navy) are also worth checking out.
Literally the only downside is that they don't offer much singleplayer content. It's like Warthunder lite in that sense.
I would like an obscure video that I play on iOS (but also on and ported to Android to be added to the list). It is called "WW2: Wings of Duty". It is a WW2 combat flight simulator set in the Pacific Theatre with American and Japanese aircraft (Europe, Germany, Soviet Union, and UK coming soon). It is possibly the only WW2 flight game on mobile to have decent amount of realism. It plays very much like War Thunder and IL-2 Sturmovik (free but with IAP to get currency to buy new planes). Not as beautiful as WT but with compatibility for more devices.

I'd add Gunship WW2 for combat flight sim enthusiasts. It's one of the more realistic ones on mobile (which isn't saying much tbh).
A poor man's Warthunder.
For combat flight simulator fans there is Gunship WW2.
It's the only good combat flight sim on mobile. Kind of a warthunder lite. The flight models are good, energy management matters and learning bfm is a must. And though the cockpits aren't clickable, they are faithful to the originals. There are a few ground vehicles too (but if you are more in to that, there's always World of Tanks)
Matchmaking is reasonably balanced. If you don't want to buy higher tier vehicles, you won't have to fight them either.
I'm going to keep plugging Wings of Duty (or Gunship sequel now that it changed its name) till the day I buy the farm.
It's the only realistic combat flight simulator on mobile. If you're in to warbirds, this one is a must. A real diamond in the rough.
It's kind of IL-2 lite. You have 4 nations and plenty of fighters and bombers to fly. It's made by a single indie developer and it's a labour of love which shows. It's pvp, though the next patch will also bring AI bombers.
Monetization is by premium vehicless though it's not necessary. The matchmaking puts you against similar tier vehicles so you won't be fighting late war planes with your peashooter (unless you choose to).
Learning combat flight manoeuvring is fun and translates to any other flight sim. I learned to dogfight and stay alive by watching Il-2 and warthunder tutorials.
I have one game that follows me from device to device and it's [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phanotek.wingsofduty](Wings of Duty) (or Gunship sequel as it's called now). And the earlier versions of the game (Mig Alley and all the different Gunship 3 versions)
It's the only realistic combat flight simulator on mobile so far. Kind of an IL-2 lite. I love how you actually have to learn real combat flight maneuvers to survive at higher tiers.
Monetization is by premium vehicles. But if you don't want to put any money in to it, you won't face any of the stronger planes thanks to the matchmaking.
Highly recommend it to any combat flight sim fans!
Wings of Duty, It's the only realistic combat flight sim for mobile. I love old Warbirds and the detail is awesome.
Also it's earlier incarnation Gunship 3 with its Vietnam war era planes just keeps pulling me back. I bought all the add-ons (navy, strike and Vietnamese airforce) and it's been the best few bucks I ever spent.
There's always people to play with. Unfortunately most people prefer to play the U.S. side, so when I'm flying for Vietnam it's one Mig against several Phantoms and Tiger 2's. I'm getting pretty good but the radar guided sparrow missile is annoying when it downs me from beyond visual range.
The only complaint I have is that we've had a nazi troll problem for the past few weeks. Some kid logs in, sits on the runway blocking it and spams the most embarrassingly childish messages. I don't understand how he gets anything out of it, no one engages him, but he can keep it up for hours. The dev is completely absent.
Wings of Duty is the one game that stays on my phone constantly. It's the only realistic combat flight simulator on mobile at the moment. I like that you can play quick arcade dogfights or longer games that require more strategy.
The RPG like progression in the beginning is fun, you collect XP to get better stuff. If dogfighting is too hard on not your thing, you can hop into a bomber or dive-bomber and concentrate on ground targets. Or take it to the ground and drive around in a tank.
If at any point you feel the opposition is too hard, choosing a weaker plane will put you in a lower tier match. Or if you want more challenge, you can play realistic mode in which the camera doesn't follow the plane and you have to fly from the cockpit view and keep your head on a swivel.
Morphite is a leisurely sci-fi first person adventure. Land on different planets and solve some easy puzzles. Dock at space stations to sell data you have scanned from local plants and animals , and use the money to upgrade your ship, weapons and suit.
Roller coaster tycoon and Icewind Dale need no introduction.
