Community Insight:
This game is a nifty game simulating what you will see on an Air Force base.
We love this game but you have got to change the way to get the stuff like investers. Its so annoying because its so slow to get money and the andvanteges are literal ads but you should make the advantages cost stars and not peoples time. We swear the game will be huge if you do just that. So please change cuz the game feels like an ad clicker.
When we try to buy something it always charge $20 instead of the actually paid price.
So u played it for weeks its very fun we think you should try it out im not forceing.
Let people pls make there own flag thats what we thought the white flag was for but instead its just plain old white so pls can you make it so we can put a image or draw.
So we have to say the game could be better, but its really good so far theres a definitely be some more updates to it but so far we think its a really good game and we really like it so yeah.
We love this game there is a point to build its exiting an fun! We highly recommend this game :).
We have been enjoying the game. Originally when we started playing there werent really any pop up ads, but now you can expect an ad popping up every 45 seconds.
The ads theres way too many almost one after every interaction its an okay game and very slow also. THE STUPID BUS QUESTION MAKES ME WANT TO QUIT THE GAME upgrade bus seats 5 times AS IT COSTS 500 MILLION TO UPGRADE IT AND we DONT EVEN GET THAT IN A DAY.
We like the concept, but we started playing it and we were getting an ad every 30 seconds. We didnt download a ad watching app. We downloaded a game, something we want to play. The game was also kinda laggy, Im not sure how long this game has been updated, but not a great game we would recommend.
As much fun it is they could upgrade the fight instead of pics see the action thats going on all the thunder birds do is come pull up and then come wish you can see them do tricks.
This game is perfect for long road trips through it starts to get boring after a while.
The C-130 should be the AC-130 because the c-130 in the game has guns and the ac-130 variant has guns, while the c-130 is only cargo and not attack cargo.
It is a fun game but it needs another update but its not bad. You should play it. They train a lot which we mean cadets training.we think everyone should play it. Cause we is some much fun.
First off, collected 1.08T and we cant purchase the B2 (1.07T). Secondly it would be nice to be able to add our own reinforcements to a battle.
Stewart, Air Force Base is backed up by Unreliable Forces . Did , you so the fight last night Between Alcan gel, Kain :and ,the forces ;of ,Evil . Total victory by ,Kain. Other , thing why would you Joing world war 3 and a faggets war?.we are at peace. Much less War1914.
We have been playing this for like 3 weeks non stop and it was so good we just had to write a review(which we never do).
We like planes and there isnt many games like this. No forced adds, the ads are actually worth it. The planes also look neat.
When ever we try playing the war mission full of flavour the game insta crashes.
We like idle games that balance enough to keep you active while playing, and not penalizing you for not staying glued to it. The flow of the game is easy going, and doesnt try to dictate the content of play. You do want you want to, when you want to. Thats a good game to us.
Im 13 and for a while now Ive been trying to find a good idle game, and then we randomly stumbled upon this game in an ad so we downloaded it. This game was amazing from the start with a tutorial that explained everything. The best part is that there are no ads except for the ones you can choose to play for awards, even the the adds are for good games like War Thunder and such. The game was a little hard at the beginning but in less than a day we were getting money fast. So yes this is a wonderful game that we would recommend getting.
We know games that are free use ad revenue to profit but we feel an ad every 30 seconds to a minute or whenever we close something then boom a 30 second ad, makes it slightly annoying to play. If you could limit the ads without paying even a tiny bit more that would make this so much more enjoyable. Other than that we think this is a nice idle game to just sit back and tap! Thank you devs.
This game is well made it even has the right names of aircrafts overal 10:10.
Make a new game called idle Navy.
This helped us get an idea of what the Air Force would look like with its realistic gameplay.
When we were playing one of our iPad games an ad popped up and it was about this game and we were like maybe this game is better than the rest we have and we were right you dont have to spend real money on things you need but the main problem is that the ads literally pop up in a minute or two and it is annoying but we like that the game is better than most of the trash game Ive installed EVER and that is why we gave a five star review we hope you make more games like this developer we like that you can even get a nice tutorial and that you can declare wars and dispatch missions. Keep on it developer.
The only wrong thing about this game are the constant ads. Like jeez.
There is only one issue though, when trying to assign how many planes you want to go somewhere the game glitches out and closes.
Okay, dont get us wrong, but first off the runway 32L is supposed to be 34L as 34R is the one across the base. Another thing we noticed was that the distance needed to take off is very short so please make the runways longer. Similarly, move the C-130 to the side with the C-5 (cursed model please fix size) Plus, the F-35 should be on the side with the smaller aircraft. If you could make the runway for the side with the C-5 be 34L as well as make it longer and wider, there would be no issue. All thats needed for 34R would be a bit longer of a runway. We also believe travel time should vary between aircraft due to different airspeeds. Overall, this is just our opinion and it is still a decent game.
The game is great and we love it but the downside of it is that there is too many ads and it is short. We fell like it has been only 20 seconds and the ads pops up and its annoying. Even though there is like skip at short time, its just annoying at this point. We wouldve give 5 if it wasnt for the ads.
Not exactly good game, and it has way too many adds.
We were really liking the game. We were earning money, had four types of aircraft and ads only when we need some extra cash or buffs. Now, an ad is literally popping up every minute. We closed out the app and reloaded twice but same thing is happening. We are hoping it is just a glitch and not an attempt to force us to buy the No Ads option. Tomorrow, we will relaunch the app again to test. Update: Relaunched the app and the same thing. Too bad.
Like most idle games it starts out fun and there are ads for extras. However after playing for a while ads just start popping up randomly during regular gameplay.
Needs updates to add more wars.
The game is good but so many ads.
We Write This Because we Found This On The App Store, And Im Already That Good! Its So Easy To Play.
Love the game. We have not been playing very long. We were wondering what updates generally look like our new missions added? Will there ever be new airplanes added? So far the game is awesome thank you.
Its cool its fun its incredible gameplay of unlocking jets and fighting them.
It takes so long to load for some reason our wifi is good but we dont know what the problem is like it just loads slow.
The games fun, but you have to be actively logged in to train cadets to do anything. The battle sequences are dumb and simple. Its just a numbers game. Mildly fun.
Or spend a bunch of money. We bought ad free years ago, which makes some of the game easier to deal with. However, once you get into needing Quadrillions (yes, you read that right) of dollars to upgrade, it starts to become the 100 years war of tap games. Like many reviewers, Id like a way to keep recruits while we dont have the game open instead of resetting every time. To make things that little bit more infuriating, the addition of missions was a good idea, let down by the thing that followed it: the new seasonal awards. Many of the points can only be won if you go to war. We cant do this because we completed all the battles about a year ago. We just want to unlock the Rappel training in like, the next year, is that too much to ask.
Absolutely loved the game, multifaceted, tons of fun until you get your war map locked by the SR-71 and it becomes wayyyyyyyy too much of a grind fest to ever get close to unlocking it, and we purchased ad free and double profits etc the whole deal and now Im staring in the distance from a light year away of being able to play any further. Developers, the jump from the F-35 to the B-2 and SR-71 is just way too big, your progression goes from fun and smooth to a screeching hault.
Even when you pay to play things get real slow and you cant make any progress. For some reason you have to have the app open to even get recruits so when you come back to the game you have to wait and build up more recruits. Even paying to get stuff faster just drains you down real quickly. The pay systems needs to get revamped because why does it take so long to earn money. Buying money isnt worth it because its not enough and the rewards just get boring no new chances to get anything different and all are just repeats. Thats our personal view of the game.
Every 5 mins you get to watch an Ad. Give us a reward if your going to make us watch all these.
We LOVE this game and love planes and stuff that flies if your like us play this game it is great:).
1 it talks sooo long to download 2 it is laggy 3 you dont do the battles 4 you cant make the toroops go any faster unless you upgrade them.
We thought maybe it was just us, but after reading the reviews, we see everyone had the same issues right around the same point as we did. The war aspect becomes a non factor once you need the B-2 and SR-71. The cost for those is an impossible number. Its exactly the same with base management. After the injection seat, the next one, free falling, is an impossible amount to unlock. It was really fun for a while, but it gets to a point where all you do is wait, and you will never unlock anything further to proceed. Sorry, but Im out.
Seriously why do we have to sit through two minute long ads? Thirty seconds which is the usual is bad enough but two minutes give us a break.
Cant open plane research to unlock more planes.
First of all when the cadets arrive where are the MTIs plus you dont just walk in. Our brother was in the airforce.
