Hangar stuck at Level 13?

I spent enough silver to get my hangar up to level 14, but it is stuck at 13. 87k out of 85k required to upgrade. I've never had this happen before, does it just eventually figure itself out? Is it a known glitch?

Just a survey

Everyone's different, there's 3 types of control style and the one you choose will affect which plane is the best for you i think. I'm not a pro player or anything, just curious to know your answers.

I'm one of the few that uses Tilt Control and i play on my phone. Who else here uses Tilt Control?

So far my best 3 planes

  1. F-106 Delta Dart = from lvl 1 until 20, the best plane for me. Feels like a light fighter, the nuclear special ability is a head to head killer & solid cannons. Only weakness is it doesn't have long range missiles. But it's so agile, very easy to evade and hide.
  2. F4 Phantom = mine it at level 3, yet it has 900+ trophies, that's proof of how good it is. Bit heavy but still pretty agile. Cannons are pretty good, The Hunter missiles is the real OP thing it has.
  3. A4 Skyhawk = mine is at level 16, in maps with lots places to hide, it's solid. Just stay close to the ammunition & flare reload spots, play as the support, 10+ assist is easy if you have decent teammates.

At low levels

F-16 Fighting Falcon, Tornado ADV & F-100 Super Sabre is the best for me. None of em bleeds speed, they all have decent cannon.

The worst at low levels

  • J10 Firebird. The cannon feels like it's shooting paintballs & it bleeds speed badly.
  • Mirage 2000. The King of Speed Bleeding. Very good cannons but it overheats too bloody fast.

Blueprints

I've been playing the Rafale and Gripen, for example, for many weeks and the passive and special ability (respectively) are nowhere to be seen.. Cases just give me mods and the shop - blueprint sale - gives me upgrades only (for 5000 silver which and it needs to be said is incredibly expensive by the way). What's with this rarity all of a sudden?

Never seen someone with these many kills

Low trophy PT game so I can see why there was a high kill count but this is just wow

u/Kaggles_N533PA — 22 hours ago

Need help understanding this ability. Just bought it. I get hit by a missile and don’t notice a 100% acceleration nor 20% speed increase. Can’t be the game how could I be using it “wrong”?

📢 Friday Sitrep - 7/24/26

https://reddit.com/link/1v5szso/video/0xs6bsuzs9fh1/player

👋 Hey Pilots,

Time for your Friday news update. Matchmaker and stability were the focus this week, so let's jump in.

Matchmaker

The team has been working through all your reports, and we're still keeping a close eye on the matchmaker's health. If anything changes, we'll let you know. When you report a bug, please keep including your profile link, your selected plane, and your party's trophy and plane levels if you can. It helps our engineers spot outliers and track down bugs faster.

📣 Quick PSA on restarting your queue: it doesn't get you into matches faster. It actually slows you down. Every time you cancel, think of it like giving up your spot in line and walking to the back. The matchmaker prioritizes whoever's been waiting longest.

Tuesday Downtime Compensation 🎁

We had an extended downtime on Tuesday (July 21) tied to an issue from our update. It's since been resolved, and we've put measures in place to keep it from happening again. Your patience and bug reports made it much easier to pin down, so thank you. Compensation is already in your in-game inbox, ready to claim. Thanks for riding that out with us.

Today's Outage (AWS)

Separate from Tuesday, we saw some downtime early today at 7/24/26, 4:00 AM. This was an AWS outage in the US-West region, which was out of our hands. You may have noticed other services like PlayStation were hit by the same thing today. When something like this happens, we want to flag it for you sooner, so we're looking into a notification system for broader/global infrastructure issues.

Inbound ✈️

Last week I teased some features in the works, and they're hitting the playtest this weekend:

  • Capture the Flag
  • F/A-18 rework and new Special Ability
  • Customizable, scalable HUD (early prototype look below)
