Introducing the Encyclopedia Comparison Tool

As you know, the Encyclopaedia is an indispensable tool for any player. With its help you can check:

• Which modules will best suit a particular plane
• The plane type that suits you best
• Strengths and weaknesses of other planes, whether enemy or ally.  

To make the task even easier, the Encyclopaedia now has a comparison tool!

How does it work?

Let’s say you have a Hawk 75M in your hangar. After playing a few battles with this plane, you’re ready to move up to Tier IV. What’s next? Should you continue follow the American fighter branch and research the P-36? Or should you start going for another nation, such as Germany or Japan? Let’s compare our P-36 with the Bf.109 B and the A6M1. The updated Encyclopaedia can help you easily see the difference between these planes in the game.

1. To start with, find the P-36, Bf.109 B and A6M1 in the Encyclopaedia. Tick the Add to Compare checkbox.

Of course, you can add as many planes as you want to the compare tool. For example, you could also add the British Bristol 146 and Soviet I-17 to the current compare list. This could be done later, so for now let’s focus on the difficult choice between German, Japanese and American planes.

2. At the left side of the screen, you can see a pop-up window with the list of planes to compare. Now you need to press Move so that you can see the summary table of each plane’s characteristics. 

3. In this table, you can see the characteristics of the stock plane configurations: speed, firepower, manoeuvrability and so on. The best values are highlighted in bold. You can also compare planes with improved configurations – just click Basic Configuration, choose the modules and then click Apply Changes. 

There we go, it’s nice and easy! Have fun comparing planes and finding out which is best for you!
