Those who have low and mid tier premium aircraft will be even more satisfied - they may use those planes to research any planes they want without limitations (though if rank difference between planes is more than 1 research it will be a little slower).įinally we have the opportunity to provide better match-making and balance. With the new system the player won’t have to leave the plane where he already has maximum experience and experience bar is full. From now on unlocking the next aircraft requires less experience which means that progress to the top aircraft of the branch is quicker. Previously to access a new rank pilot had to gain enough experience to unlock all the planes of the rank. What are the advantages of the new progression system?įirst of all a player may focus on the branch he personally prefers and move quicker down that branch. So you have some time to purchase aircraft you are interested in! But please note that planes that are unlocked but not purchased will have to be researched once again in 1.37, because the whole system will be completely different. We wanted to make the introduction of the new progression system non-problematic for both new and experienced players that is why all achievements, obtained modifications and purchased planes will remain. This all means that experience gained for successful actions in combat gives access to new modifications of the plane a player is currently flying and brings him closer to unlocking another plane a player has chosen. Currently F4U-1d (rank III) is being researched To unlock rank III you will have to unlock any 3 aircraft of the previous rank. Purchasing the modules is also not required. Please note that research of all modules is not required, several modification from a certain tier is enough. Research a certain amount of modifications of the previous aircraft, in our example it’s the F4U-1a. To purchase a new plane from now on you should meet several simple requirements.įor example - the F4U-1d Corsair. Thus later but “weaker” machines may be attributed to a lower rank and vice versa, but mostly one rank corresponds to a certain period of aircraft development.

When deciding whether an aircraft or a vehicle belongs to a certain rank, we consider its battle efficiency in the game and its period of aircraft development in real life. We are certain that with this new system the game will become more entertaining and varied both for experience players and new ones.Īll aircraft (as well as forthcoming ground units and ships) are now allocated within 5 ranks. We planned the new system from the very beginning of development, but we are introducing it now, as the number of available aircraft in the research tree is close to the original planned release tree.

The number of ranks will be changed to 5 and they will be based on the actual periods in aviation development.
