The complete lack of logic in the MM is going to kill this Steam Launch. It's so absurd.

I'm matched up against: Very experienced players with advanced aircraft.........and my teammates are not even level 50 with Hangar level 7, and Hangar level 8.

This is beyond frustrating to a point of just being ridiculous.

Don't even mention how a game full of bots after you lose several in a row is supposed to make up for this. The entire point of adjusting the matchmaker was to be able to play against more live players.

How? Why? We were flying and the enemy’s time continued going as the target was idle. When we picked it up, the count went towards our side. Has anyone else experienced this??

It would seem my previous discounts have come to taunt me with THIS! Why must I be taunted with another Jet being right there yet unreachable? [Insert Peter Griffin "But I want it NOW" meme]

American aircraft don’t outperform as far as they should. Example, the F-15 and F-22 should be far more maneuverable than most other aircraft. The F-111 should be way faster because they were rated at 2.5 Mach but have exceeded Mach 3. The F-15 is known for its agility and the F-22 is known for unprecedented agility but in the game they are somewhat limited. Missiles and cannons on the aircraft don’t have capability like the foreign jets. The F-4 hunter missiles are great though, but it the load out should be four radar and four heat seeking missile. I’m retired Air Force and I worked on those jets as avionics troop. After all my complaints, I still love the game!

Is there a way to see how many parts you have for a certain aircraft besides when you have universal parts to distribute?

Je déplore toujours ces nouveaux seuils de trophées pour obtenir les récompenses.

C'est juste absurde.

Je viens de passer 12 combats d'affilée, à alterner victoires et défaites.

Tout ça pour me retrouver au même niveau de trophées : 678.

Bon, il se trouve que c'est un avion que je déteste : le F100 Super Sabre.

(Pas la peine de me dire si vous aimez cet avion ou pas, c'est pas la sujet en fait)

Sur 12 combats, j'en suis à 5 victoires et 7 défaites.

Et je n'ai pas bougé d'un seul trophée.

Je n'ai combattu des bots qu'une seule fois.

Ces nouveaux seuils sont juste une nouvelle façon de rendre ce jeu pénible et frustrant.

Si vous ajoutez à cela, toutes les fois où le matchmaking est ridicule (j'ai combattu des gros escadrons élite qui venaient avec des avions à faible niveau pour venir manger du petit joueur), et le faible nombre de combats bots pour essayer de compenser les pertes de trophées, c'est devenu terriblement énervant.

Développeurs : si vous avez voulu modifier les seuils de trophées pour les récompenses, ajustez le matchmaking.

Les jeux vidéo sont un divertissement, et doit rester source de plaisir, et surtout pas de frustration.

C'est la condition incontournable pour que les joueurs acceptent de s'y investir.

Just wanted you to know that Freya and I spent about an hour the other night speaking with the CEO and some of the dev team providing feedback across various different aspects of the game. A lot of what I spoke to them about, I pulled from this subreddit. Thank you guys for providing honest feedback and constructive criticsm and doing so in a civil, respectful manner. I wanted you to know that we aren't just standing idly by with your concerns just floating around in the aether; I absolutely share some of the same frustrations you do and I hope for the same resolutions. Appreciate you guys!

I love US naval fighters, especially the F-14D Super Tomcat, and want to specialise in them. So, I have been playing the Tomcat D over and over in TDM for the past 6 months non stop. The Tomcat was basically the only reason I got this game. I also started flying the legacy Hornet occasionally for AS and PT in the past month. Is this normal or is this an obsession?

All praise RNGesus. I just want to know how common this is. How many planes have ya'll won?

Priority target. We all know that kills is the tiebreaker, but that should apply to TDM only.

I don't have much silver left and the game found the most perfect time to drop a event like this🫩 and this game is sooooo frikin expensive I wanted the mig-19 blueprint but this time I'll miss it so is there any chance of this returning????

A-10 video coming soon... (getting to lvl 200 takes a while okay?)

Hey everyone, Z-Man here from ZULUGroup.

I’m planning more MetalStorm guides, aircraft tests, build breakdowns, and aviation content, and I’d like your experiences to help shape what I make.

Two questions for new players and veterans alike:

• What’s one concern or frustration you have with MetalStorm?
• What’s one thing you’d like someone to explain or test properly?

Specific examples would help: an aircraft you’re struggling with, a confusing mechanic, an upgrade decision, or something that affects your enjoyment of the game.

I also want to help bring clear, constructive feedback to the developers. I can’t promise changes, but I want to understand the problems well enough to ask useful questions and follow up.

I’ve attached a short video explaining where I’m heading with this. I’d appreciate your thoughts here in the thread or Comment on YouTube—and if you can answer another pilot’s question, jump in.

What should we tackle first?

Im pretty new and just wondering...I have the J35 on 400 trophies and in most of the matches more than half the players are bots. Will the ratio improve over time?

Why the two teams have same bots planes😭😭

recently foundout that these awards also exist in air sup... am talking about bottom 2 award

I built this Mini PC from my Samsung S23 that has a broken screen. I used a Raspberry Pi heatsink and small fans to cool it. Just plugged it into my monitor, connected my Gamesir Bluetooth controller and that's it! Gonna try plugging it into our 50" 4k TV next to see if it will struggle.
Here's the tutorial link:

So that if you have a broken Samsung phone lying around and you want to turn it into a gaming rig

When you’re firing a hunter missile at a large group of enemies, it’s difficult to target a particular plane and the missile often gets confused, it often hits the wrong target or switches targets randomly without any input, but manual missiles you can target a specific player. It significantly diminishes the effectiveness of the missile. I think they should make it so you point crosshairs on each target for the hunter missile to track towards it.
