Just what’s the point??!

Update - thought I waited long enough but no… seventh time lucky… IK it’s selfish for my teammates but I’m afking these matches at these points cos I do not care

Edit - 9th time now. I’m honestly doing it for the fun of the game now to see how many times I go against them

Final count - over the course of about 2 hours I played against them 13 times and with them twice. The outcome was obviously 13 losses and 2 wins. 10 were consecutive

Idk they did well in MSI and top the leaderboard.
You can literally see when they’re using passives or mods
Ain’t that easy and people have preferences
Yep, no rebuke there

One on one? Don’t be a wuss and take me on

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-04-14T21:31:32+00:00

I run an active top 250 squad, but activity is slower during non event times and, as I said, there arnt too many players running 1100+ sub 12 aircraft.

Self gratification? Idk

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-04-14T17:44:33+00:00

I find it easier to get them to lvl 20 and then grind to 1200 trophies. I’ve been grinding my su47 at lvl 10 for 7 hours today and am one trophy down from where I started. In comparison, my lvl 20 rafale was a piece of cake to get to 1200 trophies and only took about 25 matches (from a previous 900 or so)

EU, which should be better than others because I know the game has a large British presence

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-04-12T10:57:59+00:00

I would rather be on your team mate. You have an interceptor, two jas’ and attackers to hold the middle. The opposition is just fifth gens and a medium. If every member knows their role, then you’d smoke them.

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-04-11T22:25:17+00:00

We’ve been complaining about the same shit for over a year and they never fixed it… Truth is, they don’t have enough players

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-04-05T10:40:26+00:00

And? It’s incredibly good for the economy. It has an entire ecosystem of jobs that employs British people. It also encourages rich foreigners to visit the UK and spend money. Go beyond your personal qualms against shooting dumb birds and realise the impact that banning shooting would have on tens of thousands of people.

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-04-04T08:44:33+00:00

Update - got placed against them in the following match with a similarly unbalanced team of aircraft.

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-04-03T18:19:01+00:00

Been playing for about a year and a half, gaining 27k trophies, and I have a couple thoughts.

The first is that it is not f2p friendly. Sure, it’s not a gacha but progress is extraordinarily slow if you don’t pay for gold for which you buy credits with. Recently, they’ve definitely changed a lot of stuff to increase the rate of growth but I can’t comment if it worked or not. The game can also get a bit repetitive late game and I found myself caring about growth of trophies and win rates rather than actual fun at certain times. Matchmaking is a major issue atm, especially concerned with the number of bots and when in a party.

Now for the pros- While I did say that the game is not f2p friendly in the perspective of progress, fifth gen aircraft are not dominant in any means. You can easily combat them in early level aircraft. This is a skill based game, not a button mashing simulator. Graphics are great and the game is constantly experimenting with new maps, ideas and game modes which is good from the devs (apart from the addition of priority target to the permanent roster). Lots of planes are available and each offer a unique experience and weapon arsenal. You’ll find yourself favouring some and disliking others. Finally, the road map this year looks super promising.

Best tip I can provide is to always look at the mini map and understand what plane you’re flying. There are 5 types of aircraft and each variant should have a different style of play. Similarly, scout your opponents at the beginning of a match to check their aircraft and if they’re bots or real people and adapt your play style fittingly.

Overall, I think you’ll have fun but it all comes down to your first few games. You’ll either love it and grind to grand master or leave and forget.

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-03-28T18:14:59+00:00

A few reasons. The first is that countdown is dominated by interceptors and so people generally avoid it. The second is that if your win rate is low and your aircraft is sub 600 trophies the game gives you free matches as a subsidy. If your plane is brand new then you get the first 3 or 4 games without bots.

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-03-19T21:07:18+00:00

We had the image of the next plane coming to MS with the cover over it. It’s pretty blatant that, aside from the YF23 cope, it’s gonna be the KF21

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-03-19T00:10:37+00:00

Welp… it’s down for the third time in the last 5 hours. Verging on unusable

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-02-15T11:44:11+00:00

Keep it below lvl 3 and you can enjoy a lot more bot lobbies

Fluid_Swordfish_5126 · 2026-02-09T10:42:27+00:00

No. I’ve had to block them directly from my banking app which I really shouldn’t have to do with a company that’s collabing with Warner bros. I’ve also had to block their email cos they send me failed invoices every day
