HIGHLIGHTS OF UPDATE 1.9.1
Changes to Daily Battle Missions
Our team has been looking into improving aspects of the daily battle missions. A major change will be the new ability to take on battle missions across all tiers of aircraft. There will also be changes to the rewards for successful completion of a mission, with some awarding the player unique equipment that cannot be acquired by any other means.
Changes to Bots
The team has also been looking at ways in which bots could be improved throughout the game. bot AI will be improved in the “Battle Against Bots” mode and in other battle modes where bots are on a team. AI improvements include reducing the likelihood of bots destroying all Ground Targets and reappraising the difficulty of playing at the “Beginner” level.
Other Key Areas of Change
An increase in the profitability of some aircraft will be implemented, as well as changes to the price of certain consumables. The default control scheme has been revisited and there will be a change to the visual effects for critical module damage.

Daily Battle Missions
This update marks the return of daily battle missions, which have been significantly improved:
- Now each battle mission can be completed with planes of lower (I-IV), middle (V-VII) and higher (VIII-X) tiers.
- Players are now able to receive a reward for the completion of each battle mission, corresponding to its difficulty.
- Rewards include:
- Unique consumables (which cannot be purchased in the game store or obtained in any other way),
- Credits
- Additional XP
- The list of daily battle missions was extended - now it has more than one hundred missions.
- Three random missions will be offered each day (with three difficulty levels each).
- The system for giving out daily missions considers the aircraft that the player has in their Hangar.
- Once every four hours, the player can replace one battle mission with a new one, which also will be given out randomly.
- After 24 hours, completed missions will be replaced with new ones and uncompleted missions will be carried over to the next 24-hour period (day).
- If a player has no required planes for the remaining difficulty levels, battle missions that have been completed at 1 or 2 difficulty levels will also be replaced with new missions
Bots
- Changed the behavior of attack planes.
- Reduced the chance of air target attacks before the destruction of all enemy ground targets. Improved the logic of bomb usage.
- Reduced bot skill level for "Easy" skill mode.
- Reduced the possibility of colliding with the surface and obstacles for map areas with difficult terrain.
- Reduced the number of bots which can be added to the standard battle by the matchmaker. Matchmaker was changed to fill the battles with more real players.
- New chat phrases were added. Frequency of chat use was reduced.
Economics
- Profitability of certain planes was increased according to the statistics results.
- The price of the "Improved Fire Extinguisher" from the Depot was reduced from 5,000 to 2,500 Credits.
Other
- The system of increased responsiveness for controls is now enabled by default for all new players.
- "Enable the system for control system processing in the game client" option in the game settings menu was moved from "Game" to "Controls".
- Multiple visual effects were modified for critical module damage. New visual effect for wounding pilots was added (effect of broken canopy).
- The option to disable the switching of the reticle to the "Good time for shooting" mode (the moment when the lead compensation point and reticle match) was added. Reticle appearance was reduced to avoid obscuring the target.
- "Self-Sealing Fuel Tank" - error fixed in the equipment name.
- Fixed the bug with the mechanics of the "Improved Radiator" consumable. Now it works as intended -increases the speed of boost recovery by 30% when the thrust is MIN.
