Unlocking Aircraft Progression

Hello everyone! 👋

In this post, I’m excited to give you a deeper look into the aircraft progression system we’re building for Modern Jet Fighters. This system is designed to provide a rewarding and balanced experience, where every player has the opportunity to advance through a detailed tech tree of aircraft.

How does it work?
Aircraft progression is done sequentially along a tech tree, where you must unlock the next aircraft by purchasing the previous one. The goal is to give players a clear path of progression, with each new jet offering more advanced capabilities.

But here’s a key point: There are no restrictions based on player level when it comes to purchasing new aircraft! You can progress through the tree at your own pace, without being locked out by level requirements. This allows for a more flexible and personalized experience.

What does your level impact?

The level of your player profile will primarily affect your access to modules and more advanced weapons, not the ability to buy new jets. This means that you can enjoy unlocking new aircraft as soon as you have the in-game currency for them, while your level will still provide meaningful progression through upgrades and additional customization options for your jets.

Advantages of this system:

✅ Flexibility: No level restrictions on purchasing new aircraft means you can jump ahead if you have the currency, giving you freedom in how you progress.
✅ Clear progression path: The sequential unlocking of jets lets you master each aircraft before moving on to the next, ensuring you’re ready for the challenges ahead.
✅ Balanced progression: Your player level still matters, but it’s tied to unlocking powerful modules and weapons, ensuring that no one can skip ahead with pure skill or grind, creating a balanced experience for all players.
✅ Diverse playstyles: The ability to unlock a variety of jets without level restrictions allows players to experiment with different aircraft to find the playstyle that suits them best.
✅ Rewarding experience: By progressing through the aircraft tech tree, you’ll experience a steady sense of achievement as you unlock new, more powerful jets and equipment.
