Check out our short review of the incoming update below or jump ahead to the full patch notes for a complete look at all the new contents!

HIGHLIGHTS OF VERSION 1.9

Improved Bots

With the newest update, bots have had an overhaul. Now they will act more realistically. This is due to changes in their behaviour-logic. With these changes to the bots, players should notice waiting times in the queue will now be significantly reduced (waiting time should not exceed 70 – 80 secs, at which point the battle will start with teams filled with bots) and teams will also be more balanced.

Modifications to weapons, firing system and damage mechanics

There’s a lot to say about the modifications to the above. Critical damage can now be dealt to certain modules of a plane which affects how they handle. All the weapons in the game have been completely reconfigured, including changes to damage, range, disperion and rate of fire.

Changes to Equipment

The biggest change to equipment is to the ammo belts. Standard belts are now free and there are now four types of improved-belt for every weapon. Also equipment previously available as a reward for special events is now available for purchase in-game. And finally, the characteristics of certain equipment items has been changed.
