{{nihongo foot|'''''Wing War'''''|ウイングウォー|Uingu Wō|lead=ye|group=lower-alpha}} is a 1994 [[combat flight simulator]] game [[video game developer|developed]] for the [[Sega Model 1]] arcade platform by [[Sega]]. the object of the game is by where the players fight head-to-head in airplanes trying to shoot the other players out of the sky. Running on the same hardware as Sega's ''[[Virtua Fighter (video game)|Virtua Fighter]]'' and ''[[Virtua Racing]]'', the game features 3D [[Polygonal modeling|polygon graphics]].
It was available as a two-player sit-down unit as well as a rotating [[R360]] motion simulator [[arcade cabinet]], the second and last title to support the cabinet. A home conversion for the [[Sega 32X]] was in development, but later cancelled.<ref>{{cite news |title=Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines |url=https://retrocdn.net/images/1/1a/MeanMachinesSega29UK.pdf |accessdate=3 July 2020 |agency=[[Mean Machines]] |publisher=[[EMAP]] |date=30 January 1995 |page=12}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Wing War |url=https://retrocdn.net/images/8/80/MegaConsole_IT_13.pdf |accessdate=3 July 2020 |agency=Mega Console |publisher=Futura Publishing |date=March 1995 |page=16 |language=it}}</ref>
==Gameplay==

Like ''Virtua Racing'', the game has 4 view mode buttons: a cockpit view, rear view, top view, and finally, an automatic view. The player has a throttle to control the plane's speed (for Expert mode only), a yoke to control the plane's movement, and two triggers to fire machine guns and homing missiles. ''Wing War'' has 2 game modes: Dogfight and Expert. Dogfight is a shoot 'em up battle style mode, where two aircraft are in battle across the sky while flying towards the finish line at the end of the stage with the most power left unharmed. Expert mode is where the simulation part comes to play. In this mode, the player has full control when flying with their plane, and now the controls handle like a real aircraft.

In Japan, ''Game Machine'' listed ''Wing War'' on their August 15, 1994 issue as being the most-successful upright/cockpit arcade game of the month.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Game Machine's Best Hit Games 25 - アップライト, コックピット型TVゲーム機 (Upright/Cockpit Videos)|magazine=Game Machine|issue=478|publisher=Amusement Press, Inc.|date=15 August 1994|page=25|lang=ja}}</ref> In North America, ''RePlay'' reported it was the fifth most-popular deluxe arcade game at the time.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Player's Choice - Top Games Now in Operation, Based on Earnings-Opinion Poll of Operators: Best Deluxe Videos|magazine=RePlay|volume=20|issue=9|publisher=RePlay Publishing, Inc.|date=June 1995|page=6}}</ref>
