Hellfire cannon, Hellfire (secondary weapon), Medium Bulletproof Cockpit, Strong Capacity Wings, Improve Feeding System; Weight 130/130. Pwn everything. Starts off hard, but after you gain access to the newer upgrades it becomes much easier. Hellfire (secondary weapon) might not home, but huge damage/spreads will quickly take everything out with timing. Good luck.
Buy Plasma shot. Buy second plane (right below the starter plane). Get 2 slots for 2nd plane. Upgrade max plasma shot. Buy 5th plane (with 3 slots). Buy all 3 slots. Save up for minigun. Have fun, you win. Either save up for final plane or continue upgrading minigun or other weapons for fun. You win. Fun game.
First time playing I thought I was doing "ok," guess not: "52,938. Your score is very average for a first time BattlePaint player. How does it feel to be average? You're just a cog in the machine; a faceless nobody. Do better next time." Boom roasted.
