Senior Journalist Mission – Aircraft Battle (Mission 2/3 articles)

Day 4,718, 20:55 Published in Malaysia Malaysia by Alex Firdaus

Just thinking to write some tips to the newbie like me and at the same time trying to slowly completing the mission. (Senior Journalist Mission) Need 25 comment from different citizen.

Consider myself as a newbie, to be frank I’m still keep on doing my study into this game. eRep is not a rocket science game, but there are lots of possibilities to look at it. But surely mercenary is a must.

As for myself as a mercenary, after a while I set my target into the Aircraft Battle ( AB ) than the Ground Battle ( GB ) unless on the Week Change (WC) day hunting for epic battle to catch up Prestige Point (PP).

Currently I’m 50days old in eRep today ( day 4718 ) at level 30 holding Flight Lieutenant *** rank in AB. Set my target to achieve Sky Hero (SH) after I’ve done my discussion with fellow comrades and some reading in the Wiki. I would like to share to the newbie on how I’ve set and made my SH target accomplish. SH medal will received rewards of 30 golds (Of course you have to spend some € in order to get SH while in this rank) Read till the end for the tips.



Aircraft battles, also referred Air battles or Aerial battles, are part of the regular campaign, mixed with regular ground battles. After 3 ground battles, the fourth one will be an aircraft battle. Aircraft battles were introduced on Day 3,165. (Wiki)



“ In-game strength doesn't impact pilot abilities. Aviation's corresponding skill is perception, however, perception is on a permanent 0 level so that new players could compete with old players more easily. ” ~ Wiki

This was my first ‘0 perception’ on the AB as newbie. But happily ever after only exist in fairytales. Below are the influence of damage on AB.



What you should do to increase you damage in AB?
1. Aircraft Rank
2. Fire power
3. Of course ENERGY

1. Aircraft rank

Aircraft rank level start from 0% damage per hit to 100% damage per hit. Refer to Aircraft_rank

If you are in the lower rank, it’s not that easy to compete with old players with higher rank.
What you should do? The answer is you have to keep on hitting in the AB to increase your rank.

2. Fire power
Firepower (0 for without weapon, 20% for Q1 aircraft). But Q1 aircraft weapon is quite expensive vs the damage to the battle, compare with GB weapon. In order to build one… Let me continue this in other part later.
Here comes the best part for the newbie to compete with old players, our deadly weapon the Stinger. (It comes with a cost and during limited time only)



3. Energy
Based on the simple calculation, higher energy means higher hit in the battle. Higher hit means higher damage. So spare lots of Energy Bar ( EB ) if you are looking for fast energy recovery.

Tips to SH in lower ranks.

Make sure you are in full energy including with 2nd layer energy.

Must spend some € for packs. Or maybe some citizen selling it either with gold or cc. (never seen it)
WARNING: Buy packs with caution, might lead to addiction. (Senior had warn me before).
Pack for AB.


*You will get enough the Stinger for 1 SH (plan your battle). Of course bundle with the air damage booster that increase 20% of damage (works only for 10mins) so plan your strike please. And EB worth +900 energy.

Damage calculation using the stingers only.
(20pcs x 3 hits x 1000/hit) +20% damage = 72,000 damage.
Plus extra hit with balance energy (not including EBs) + 20% damage = ±6k
Total of ±78k of damage. Again, plan your battles.

Most of all;


Happy SH hunting.
