Has anyone else totally lost interest for this game after 1.37? Seeing ONE pixel move on the research bar for the next plane is so demoralizing.
Erm. No. Actually, I think totally different about the game.
Basically I fly a tier until the last modification for the last airplane has been developed. Then I move all of my 5 crews to the next tier.
After having finished grinding the last modifications for my last 5 planes on tier 2, I had already researched the next 5 planes on tier 3. My problem was that I could not afford to buy and to assign crews to the new airplanes because I lacked the credits.
I have returned to tier 1 quite a while now, further researching tier 3 airplanes. It is not very fast, but progress is being made. It actually feels faster than researching the unlock for all decal spots using the Marcolins CR.42CN.
Due to the low speed it is very relaxing to fly those tier 1 planes. And the diversity of planes is greatest: maneuverable biplanes, sedate destroyer aiplanes, divebombers, level bombers and fighter aircraft. All of them in the initial stage, kind of raw, with very different behavior and handling. Like a large bomber being a tough enemy for a small biplane. And the ground targets can usually be destroyed by all kinds of airplanes, as it is mostly unarmored vehicles and units.
In the end this makes me wonder: Why should I fly any other tier than tier 1, if tier 1 is the most fun while tier 5 appears to be dreadful. Why should I buy gold? Whatfor should I spend gold on? I'm unlocking the skins and decals while flying. I'm training crews while flying. You don't have to buy additional crews for gold, as the number of crews is totally unimportant and 5 crews is more than enough for a 10 minutes arcade game. Maybe the premium planes are fun, but I'm not going to test it either. The last time I saw such a shitty revenue model for a F2P game, the game was discontinued.
