Wingman

When you start the game, you will get a Tier 1 wingman for free at level 2, this is the P47 Thunderbolt. As you progress in the game you get more wingman through completing special events and in-app purchases.

There are 2 Tiers of wingman, Tier 1 has 16 wingman to choose from, Tier 2 has 8 wingman which you get by merging 2 dedicated Tier 1 wingman together. Once Tier 3 wingman will be released, there will be 4 Tier 3 wingman which you can get by merging 2 dedicated Tier 2 wingman.

Each Wingman has 3 different stats that are often referenced when discussing superiority of one plane to another. Please note there is little evidence to suggest these stats have any real differences while playing the game. These 3 stats are: Power, Damage Per Second and Damage Per Hit. A wingman doesn't have Fuel. See Wingman Stats for a table of wingman stats.

Wingman Upgrade Basics
As you progress through the game you will need to upgrade your wingman. The strength of your wingman is determined by the number of stars you have achieved combined with the number of upgrades for each star you achieve. Each wingman starts with a predetermined number of stars and can be promoted up to 10 stars. In order to promote your wingman you must collect the required number of modules to achieve the next star. After you promote your wingman you must then upgrade using gold coins. You must upgrade your aircraft 5 times by using the gold coins you've earned or purchased in the game before you can promote it to the next star.

When you promote your aircraft to levels 3, 5 & 7 you unlock special weapons that increase your aircraft strength. See the chart below for information on what is unlocked at each level.

Below is the overview of the cost per upgrade for each star level. Just know that you only have to pay upgrades from the star level of your device upwards. For example, if you get the Vought F7U Cutlass from a Special Event, it comes at star level 7. This means you only have to pay for the upgrades from star level 7 to level 10.
