Volk's Kamov Ka-50 Hokum, nicknamed the "Black Shark" in real life, has the honor of being the only playable helicopter in the Sonic Wings series. Pseudo Sky Rascals points out that the game creators had always wanted to include a helicopter in the games. The Hokum's artillery is powerful, even on its lowest level, and is quite responsive; the line of fire changes when the Hokum shifts to the left or right. Its bomb calls forth several huge wingmen who drop missiles on the enemy.

- A helicopter flight simulation over the south china seas. Hokum is a unique and probably the least known flight sim from Simis, makers of Flight Sim Toolkit. As commander of a mercenary group, a ship and a fleet of eight helicopters, it's your responsibility to patrol an area approximately 75,000 km square (lying at a longitude of 3 degrees North and a latitude of 160 degrees Fast, in case you were wondering), and suppress or (preferably) remove the pirate forces dominating the Indonesian-owned Anambus Islands.

- A helicopter flight simulation over the south china seas. Hokum is a unique and probably the least known flight sim from Simis, makers of Flight Sim Toolkit. As commander of a mercenary group, a ship and a fleet of eight helicopters, it's your responsibility to patrol an area approximately 75,000 km square (lying at a longitude of 3 degrees North and a latitude of 160 degrees Fast, in case you were wondering), and suppress or (preferably) remove the pirate forces dominating the Indonesian-owned Anambus Islands. In this game you are a commander of a Base Ship cruising around Indonesia to stop piracy and a pilot of four helicopter types available on it. These helicopters are Kamov Ka-50 Hokum (assault), Mil Mi-8 Hip (assault/transport), Westland Lynx (anti-ship assault/transport), and Bell AH-1 Cobra (assault). You are planning the schedule of your missionsand complete them with appropriate helicopter. Planning of missions is based on your previous recce flights. Missions vary from intercept pirate boats, escort ship through pirate waters, and provide air support, to unload battalion of jungle commandos, rescue ejected pilot, and annihilate the village. During the mission player also may switch back to Base Ship to plan another mission. Game is presented in MCGA resolution (320x240), but has also undocumented option to play in SVGA resolution (640x480). This option is invoked by running game executable with -v option (HOKUM.EXE -v). The game graphics is very impressive for its era and the engine sounds is simply brilliant. By the way game is bugged and no patches was ever released. One of them is a save-game bug, that makes it next to useless - no enemy helis or ships ever appear after restoring from a saved game. The game is only working in DOS or DOS emulator, there is no other way to run game in Windows OSes. Some sources mistakenly cite release date as 1992 and publisher as Domark, but there is no documented confirmation of it.
