'''''Luftwaffe Commander''''' is a [Microsoft Windows](/source/Microsoft_Windows)-based  World War 2 theme [combat flight simulation](/source/Combat_flight_simulation_game) created by [Strategic Simulations, Inc.](/source/Strategic_Simulations%2C_Inc.) (SSI) and released in 1999 but copyrighted in 1998.

==Gameplay==
The player enters a career as a [Luftwaffe](/source/Luftwaffe) pilot on five fronts when playing in [campaign mode](/source/campaign_mode), but first has to successfully train on a [Heinkel](/source/Heinkel) [biplane](/source/biplane). The fronts featured in campaign mode are Spain, France, Britain, Russian Front and the Western Front. In [single-player mode](/source/single-player_mode) each campaign mission may be flown individually and each of the five fronts has ten missions. In the Air Combat mode or menu the player can choose to have a skirmish with himself, an A.I. wingman and other A.I. opponents of several dozen chosen enemy aircraft.

==Reception==
''[The Philadelphia Inquirer](/source/The_Philadelphia_Inquirer)'' said "Luftwaffe Commander features unique aircraft, including some never before seen in a computer game. However, an iffy flight model and graphics straight out of 1996 should relegate this one to the discount bin".<ref>{{cite web|first=Dennis|last=McCauley|url=http://www.philly.com/volt/games/052099games.asp|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/19990902013256/http://www.philly.com:80/volt/games/052099games.asp|title=These flight-combat simulations truly soar|website=[The Philadelphia Inquirer](/source/The_Philadelphia_Inquirer)|archivedate=September 2, 1999|date=May 20, 1999|accessdate=February 4, 2024}}</ref>
