Woohoo, finally the Mig-31B is in the game eh? And it unlocks LAAM at level 7, a nice bonus for those who'll never get that weapon on the crazy priced top jets. And I'm guessing the new jets are all in the OTT price range.

Nah, of course I meant top 100, NO WAY to place inside the top 20!@Vitocorp Top 20 will be ridiculous if you're aiming for those ranks. Grabacr needed like 605k+ points. You will get 3 of those special aircraft upgrade forms and a rare nickname though so...prepared to shell out an extra $300 for those items?
Still, I think I'll stop inside the top 300, all right, Mobius 1 is super cool but if I manage to save fuel for future tournaments...it's better!

I stand corrected. The way they added in the X-49 is horse manure. The Night Raven should eat R-101s for breakfast... Not be outperformed by them.
The MiG-31B, on the other hand, is beautiful. Handles as it should: it does 1500kn easily even at low altitude and climbs very fast, but it doesn't want to turn, nor slow down (it will stall, and it's quite hard to do tight maneuvres for this exact reason). With the LAAM it will become the ultimate long-range interceptor, should the upgrade parts slot allow it. It also costs about 2500 credits to get it at lv. 1, I was expecting it to cost around 100-150k, was pleasantly surprised.
Also unlocked the Su-35 event skin thingy. S-rating, MVP and 55k points without even looking at the screen. Is it just me, or the 6AAM homes just a little bit better since the upgrade dropped? Oh, and they also decided to throw the Red Ugly One in as a bonus at the end of that same game. Couldn't care less about it tho, I hate the Falken with a passion.
The new mission is fun, plenty of clusters of AA targets and high-value ground targets which are easy to hit. Also, there's a high chance of two B2s appearing, and hey, it's an easy 8000 points.

I'll give a chance for adriatic sea...now I'm just testing the "ok maps for the tournament" and the "maps you should avoid for the tournament"
I need to maximize my ranking pts and easy S ranks with 4 players ARE A MUST.
B7R is easy as hell, the chance to get the butterfly master is extremely low...
Moscow has the biggest cluster and it's perfect for any occasion, another easy S rank.
Alps, Avalon and WBA need a minimum of 6 players to ensure the MVP, but more players means you need to act fast and be sure to have the right plane at the right place on the right situation in order to steal targets.
Pipeline is good but sometimes has the A rank bug; Dubai, Tokyo and Comona are fine too but unbalanced, it's gambling.
Any raid mission is fine, you'll get tons of pts anyway.
And remember, if you look at the stats of the Mobius 1, you'll change your mind about "the ultimate long range interceptor"
With a base air-to-air damage of A I'm sure the LAAM would tear apart space and time. Plus it has a tremendous amount of slot parts. 30 at level 6, that's just sick....
My god I'm so excited it's the most versatile fighter of the game since it has the holy trinity of A2A weapons...can cover ANY role...multiple engagements, close range dogfight and long range interception...

I've tested right now the HPAA (level 5), ppl said it got a damage buff... ***** IS THAT! In my Su-35 -S1- I was almost able to one-shot the T-50s (same as co-op emergency missions) in the second part of Campain Mission #7 Area B7R! Without any damage part (not even the HPAA explosive S, got only standard missile upgrade parts) they was still alive after first hit... But actually with no life, their life remaining was a single gun shot. Yes, seriously, 1 gun shot gap from the direct one-shot kill.
Still have to test out these HPAA in my Gripen C -Griffon- which have actually parts for special weapon, also the HPAA Explosive S, not the regular damage increase.

That's not great, my standard missiles on my YF-23 will one-shot any T-50/F-22, reload twice as fast, have way better homing and will never run out of ammo with the upgrades I have. HVAA lets me snipe long range.
I have got to say, I'm LOVING the YF-23 lately.
So, does anyone know what the go is with expanding parts slots by way of repeated sorties? Is there a limit to how many you can increase?

They aren't regular T-50s, those are the same as emergency missions. You will one-shot kill SNIPER squadron (F-15C), TITAN squadron (F-14D), QUICKSHOT squadron (MiG-31), SCYLLA squadron (Su-35), F-35B of SHADOW squadron (F-35B, YF-23 and F-22). With HPAA Explosive S you will one-shot kill also other units of SHADOW squadron and SPECIALIST (T-50, should be same as my test).
We still don't know, what we know it's that exp depends on slots you got (So Multirole with same Cst as Attacker and Fighter will need more exp). I think that with this exp system, ppl will stop to use Multiroles time by time. Now that all planes will have 40+ slot parts, let's see how many Multiroles will still fly in 1-2 months. Multirole haters that thought Multiroles shouldn't have more slots will be happy.

Heh. The ultimate long range interceptor... That I can afford. Shouldn't be all that shabby once leveled, tho.
Multiroles will still live long and prosper. The mix of sp. AA and AG weapons and the well-rounded stats make them far more economical than the alternative (which is, developing a dedicated fighter and attacker at the same time). Just like in real life (nvm the fact that most air superiority fighters depicted as such in game are actually multipurpose). Also, it will take forever to take one plane to 40 slots.
Anybody flying the X-49 in the demigod-tier lobbies yet?

As I said before, it will took ages to get points for a single slot, multiroles are and will be still great choices.
The new SP planes level cap increaser sucks, you need to pay for the upgrade too. Thanks to @Flaren89 for the heads up.
No point about upgrading high tier special planes, level 9/10 is enough for a good player.
Not spotted any of the new plane, MiG-31 included...

1:11 in the trailer:

The new super-plane pricing makes me sad

I can't sign on at the moment either.
Edit: BTW I saw an XFA-33 online last night, they're pretty big but since they're so expensive to level up he was pretty useless.

So I'm doing the Sorcerer and Wizard challenges...
50 kills with std missiles in an F-16C.
Tried my recent upgraded LVL 8 Falcon. Oh god. The plane is awful compared to others...std missiles with the M warhead are unable to oneshoot MiG-29 and same for the QAAMs (no warhead installed)...it's just me or...the plane damage is toned down... this setup was made in order to have enough damage from both missiles to oneshot MiG-29...what the heck?
Doing the special upgrade challenge as well...not bad in Comona despite I was challenging top tier jets and I got last place anyway...

I just focused mostly on yellow ground targets with the F-16C challenge, a target destroyed is a target destroyed.
I think I did it in two sorties with a level 5 F-16C. I'm currently trying to do the level 3 F-15S/MTD Skin challenge which is 5 S ranks, in combination with the level cap increase challenge which is 5 A ranks at Aerospace. It's rather painful because my S/MTD is only level 1. I could buy level 2 but that'd make jack all difference and just open a research panel when I already have 4 open by default (that will take forever to complete, ADF-01 Falken is researching level 11, does less than 1% at a time and doesn't get attention after every sortie) after the update.Edit: Anyone else think this will be the 20th Anniversary F-4E that article mentioned?

Well, past couple of days have been a good warm up for the Mobius tourney. Those intending to aim for special raids would do well to host their own rooms and be selective as to who stays [when one pops up] to ensure an S-rank. Can't wait.
EDIT:
It has started. Let the madness begin!
