Jane's Israeli Air Force is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person and third-person action and vehicle combat game in the Jane's Combat Simulations series.
As of Windows XP, the game has had severe compatibility issues ranging from unresponsive menus and rendering problems. Tackleberry's patch is required to properly run the game on modern systems, at the cost of multiplayer mode no longer working.
