[MoCHE] The Sky Crawlers

Day 3,171, 06:04 • Published in Japan Japan • by Nanashi Senshi


Greetings citizens of eJapan and e-world, as you all already know, recently we had been introduced to the new battlefield - Aerial Battles.



Since this is also a ministry of Education, here are some more or less known facts about Aerial Battles.
As you know Aircraft Battles are part of the regular Campaign and that every fourth Battle in a Campaign will be an Aircraft Battle and players are not divided in division in these fights.

All the fighters’ influence will count against one Wall. An Aircraft Battle will give 22 Campaign points to the winning side.

Mutual Protection Pacts are active in Aircraft battles.
Some of you may won the special Decorations that were available for the first Citizens that managed to achieve the new Military Ranks, both worldwide and national, so congratulations😁



The Citizens that deal the most damage in Aircraft battles (for each of the involved sides) will earn the new Sky Hero Medal (similar to the current Battle Hero Medal), and receive 30 Gold as reward. Sky Hero Medals will be available for each Aircraft battle of the Campaign.


Fighting as a Pilot



Your pilot career will start from scratch and you will need to prove yourself in Battles in order to gain new Air Force specific Ranks.

Eye to hand coordination is a valuable skill for those maneuvering the flight stick, hence your in-game Strength will not impact your pilot abilities. A new skill that can be evolved daily will be available in the future. Once available, the maximal daily progression of that skill will be far lower than what is currently possible for the strength attribute in order to avoid significant gaps between old and new players over short periods of time.

Developing the coordination using dedicated facilities similar to the Training Grounds will be possible but again, the coordination bonus will be lower than what the Training Grounds accustomed us to.

When fighting as a pilot all the players will gain Experience Points, even the ones that have purchased Infantry Kits.

Current Damage Booster items cannot be used when fighting on an Aircraft battle. The damage bonus received with the Elite Citizen status and the Natural Enemy Bonus applies when fighting as a pilot.

The Damage Accelerator Booster can be used on Aircraft battles.

The Military Rank bonus available in the War Stash pack will count towards pilot military ranks progression.

Only weapons produced in the Aircraft weapons industry can be used as a pilot. Bazookas, Rockets, Cruise Missile and bombs and other existing “super weapons” cannot be used in Aircraft Battles.

The pilot can also fight without Weapons as the damage formula used in the Tank Battles applies.
The weapon and strength for Aircraft battles.

Currently there are only Q1 weapons, so called air to air missiles. You can buy them on market as any other product in the game.

The price is significantly higher comparing them with the price of single Q7 weapon. For example the current cheapest Q7 weapon on japanese market cost only 13 yens, but air to air missiles cost 5 times more and it is 65 yens and even more.

We will also get new training center for Aircraft battles which will be implemented in the game in the future.
This should be it. Like I said before these are all more or less known facts about the new Aircraft battles, but there is no harm in repeating some stuff xD

So what do you say about these new changes. Do you like them?
P.S. For the title of the articles, as some of you will notice I was inspired by the anime movie of the same name - The Sky Crawlers, check it out, it is good stuff.
