Reception

Computer Gaming World in 1993 criticized Air Duels framerate, "generic and unrealistic" avionics, lack of Constantly Computed Impact Point, buggy AI, and low replay value. The magazine stated that it would have been better received in 1991, concluding that "Air Duel isn't bad, but it certainly isn't new or better." In a 1994 survey of wargames the magazine gave the title two stars out of five, stating that aircraft "do not seem historically correct... A great idea with mediocre execution".
