Airplanes

Up to three airplanes are assigned to your carrier. They are a major factor of your fighting power.

Acquisition
They can be bought in the game for gold, some are rewards for updating your base to a certain level, and some are rewards for special game events.

Upgrades
Airplanes can be increased in level and in class. Both cost ressources (uranium) and different materials.

Types
Airplanes are divided into three types: Bomber, Fighter, Helicopter. They do not follow the classic rock–paper–scissors concept. Each airplane has is unique combination of attacks and powerups that affect your and the enemy fleet.

List of planes
Instead of adding all planes here I will add a link to a Google Docs spreadsheet:

Google Docs document

It shows the attributes of all planes at level 45 / purple class. 6 star planes are not included yet.

"Shards" is the amount of Aircraft Shards you need to buy it. "Dmg/Shard" shows a relation between maximum damage and the price (the higher the better).

"Gold" is the amount of Gold you need to buy it. This includes temporary offers, for example the starting price from "super value group purchase". "Dmg/Gold" shows a relation between maximum damage and the price (the higher the better).
