Pacific Fighters, known in Russia as Pearl Harbor (Перл-Харбор), is a World War II combat flight simulator for Microsoft Windows, released in 2004. It is played online by gamers (Online fighter squadron communities) using a standard IP address or a client server such as "hyperlobby" regularly but can be flown offline as well. The latest version corresponds to the IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 compilation, developed by 1C:Maddox Games and distributed by Ubisoft in 2006.

The game gives the player 74 flyable aircraft, including variants. It was created by Maddox Games, as a Pacific War expansion of IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles, although it can also be installed as a stand-alone game. It has two types of missions that can be flown, "dogfights" or "cooperative campaign" modes. In either type, the player can play as either Allied or Axis forces, and the type of aircraft flown usually depends on the mission picked. The game also features a mission editor, allowing the player to make their own missions.
