Tips and Tricks

American (US) planes tend to have better Dive, more guns, and higher health.
Japanese (JP) planes tend to have better Turn and Climb.

Each faction has a unique bonus that affects their pilots.
US Navy pilots can do one extra high-G maneuver.
JP Navy pilots learn additional maneuvers with every 2 victories.
US Army pilots gain all Ace Maneuvers at 20 victories.
JP Army pilots start with 1 extra maneuver.

Plane upgrades act as direct stat boosts, except for the Homing Beacon.
Machine Gun Convergence increases guns by 1.
Armor increases health by 1.
Emergency Power increases Speed by 1.
Advanced Airfoil increases Climb and Turn by 1.
Make sure your plane is capable of doing maneuvers before you unlock them.
Reload saves to change the mission type.

Difficulties have various effects on gameplay.
Rookie has no G-force restrictions on pilots.
Higher difficulties, especially Leader and Legend, have a greater chance of giving conditions such as being outnumbered or no escorts.
The bomber mission type with only one escort credits all kills by your side (even by bomber Rear Gunners) to the participating Pilot.
Solitude missions (Control tower defense, one Pilot versus two enemies) on Legend difficulty are a good way to get 15,000 point missions if you have an excellent Ace.
You can select which pilot can move by clicking on their card during your turn.
