1945 Arcade Shooting Wiki

There are 16 main Aircrafts to choose from in 1945 Air Force. You start the game with a choice out of two planes, the Boeing P-26 Peashooter (selected) and the the Grumman F3F. As you progress in the game you get more planes through completing special events and in-app purchases. You will get start the game with one plane selected until you open up more slots in your squadron. Your squadron has 4 slots.

Each Aircraft has 4 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 4 stats are: Power, Damage Per Second, Damage Per Hit, and Fuel. See Aircraft Stats for a table of aircraft stats.

Aircraft Upgrade Basics[]

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

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.

Extra Weapons
Stars Name Description
1 Overloaded Weapon Unlocks Overloaded Weapon which fires a barrage of powerful bullets against enemies for 6 seconds
3 Missile  Weapon Unlocks Missile Weapon which has 25% main gun power and automatically fires homing missiles
5 Backup Weapon Unlocks Backup Weapon which has 15% main gun power and automatically fires straight-lined bulletsā“
7 Composite Armor Refines Aircraft parts by Composite materials to effectively increase its Armor by 20%

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 aircraft upwards. For example, if you get the Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing 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.
