Following 1999's WarBirds II, WarBirds III was released for Mac and PC in 2002.[1][3][4] WarBirds III was a runner-up for GameSpot's annual "Best Simulation on PC" award, which went to Flanker 2.5.[5] WarBirds: The Mighty Eight was released in 2007. A more recent version, WarBirds 2008, includes tanks, trucks, halftracks, new aircraft, and new graphics.[6]

In 1999, some of the original development team, including John "Killer" MacQueen, Rodney "Hatch" Hodge, and Chris "Mo" Sherland, went on to form Cornered Rat Software where they developed WWII Online. Others followed Dale "HiTech" Addink to form HiTech Creations and develop Aces High.
