Features & Capabilities

Tail Gun Charlie puts you in the tail gunner seat of a WWII bomber. Use your phone's gyroscope or touchscreen to aim and fire the twin .50 cals as Axis fighters close in, including Me-109s, FW-190s, and Me-262s.

You have five lives and unlimited ammo, but overheating guns demand quick reflexes. Align the aim if the gyro drifts, and keep a charger handy as you conquer relentless skies.

Tail Gun Charlie is a visually appealing, fast-paced WW2-style shooter that players find fun, challenging, and addictive. Its strengths are strong graphics, engaging gameplay, offline play, and a wide array of levels and power-ups. Common drawbacks include occasional bugs (weapon/power-up freezes), score-tracking inconsistencies, limited weapon variety, occasional audio issues, and some frustration with ads gating progress. Overall, fans praise the feel, realism, and replayability, while hoping for more stability, better scoring, expanded armament options, and fewer intrusive ads in future updates.

Recent reviews

I love the advanced graphics on the old-school theme of the classic tailgunner experience! It reminds me of being in the arcade in 1981 but better graphics!

The game is challenging. Ads are minimal. What I really like is that you’re not punished when you fail at any particular wave of enemy aircraft. You are simply provided with another opportunity without having to watch an ad or pay a price. Highly recommend
