Air combat 101
The Department of Education would like to thank the eUSA’s top flyer Super Nova for putting together the following information.


If you are new player or an old player with low strength you should focus on air combat.
A new player’s Air damage without weapons is 12 (per hit – i.e. per 10 energy). The current top air damage for all of erep is 149 (147 for eUS). So a new player’s air damage is ~8% of that of this top damage.
While 8% may seem low, a new player can gain rank (and hence do more damage) much quicker than higher ranking players.
(see https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Aircraft_rank).

For comparison a new player fighting in ground battle will do less than 0.01% that of that of a top player (there are players that can do over 500K ground damage per hit without weapons).
Air Battles
Aircraft battles occurs every 4th round in a campaign, meaning at the rounds 4, 8, 12 and 16.

How to make money from Air Combat

1. The best way for eUS citizen is to sign up every week for GIMP & then just fight in air battles and wait for the cc.
Sign-up: tinyurl.com/eUSA-GIMP-App
Check Status: tinyurl.com/eUSA-GIMP-StatusCheck
Data: tinyurl.com/eUSA-GIMP-Reports

Note: when visiting the app, your IP address will be logged and retained for 30 days to help fight bogus entries

2. Fly by Priorities (FbP) are occasionally posted on the national feed. FbPs will pay the specified amount per air kill in a designated battle and round.

Air Weapons
In general these are too expensive to be worth using.
Usually much better off buying gold with the cc and using the gold to by Energy Bars.
Stingers
On occasion players can get AIM-92 Stingers – special events, power spin (see https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Power_spin), or Aviator Packs (cost real money).

Stingers deals1000 damage per hit while having a durability of three hits and eliminating a regular enemy with one hit.

One thing to remember with Stingers is to not accidentally use them. Each time you start deploy you will need to select the “no weapon” option to avoid using them.

NO! NOT THAT ONE!


YES! THAT ONE!

Stingers will expire 15 days after you get them – so use them or lose them.

Air Damage Boosters
So far 3 types of Air Damage Boosters
10 minute 20% Air Damage Booster (most common),
2 hour 20% Air Damage Booster, and
10 minute 50% Air Damage Booster

So far these are only available during special events.

Damage Accelerator
the 2x & 5x Damage Accelerators work the samefor both air and ground battles

Sky Hero
Sky Hero is an award for achieving the highest damage in an aircraft battle. It gives 30 Gold.

Tips on how to get a Sky Hero

In general the best times to get a Sky Here are
late on Monday (end of the erep Challenge week)
Tuesday after 0900 erep
While there is an an Air epic battle
When there are a lot of “fresh” air battles

Stingers (see above) are a good way to get an SH – but best to hold them for a couple of weeks because when you get them so do others

Filter on “Fresh” “Air” battles and can occasionally find battles a couple of minutes old with no hits.

Air Epic
An air epic like a ground epic battle gives 2 Prestige Point per hit.
There is often an air epic on Tuesday between 0700 and 0900.

Thanks again Super Nova!
