I’m struggling to understand why the superprops and early jets are more expensive than top tier jets, especially once you consider the potential income for surviving a whole 15 minutes and landing at base after maxing out score.

For all the complaints I read about the F8U in other threads… it costs…

8K to spawn. It can make 24K.

Why is it so much cheaper than a CORSAIR?!

This is a rant post induced by unlocking early-jets and seeing the sim spawn costs.

Understandable. I’ve given up on trying to make a profit if I take out the He-162.

I don’t get why they do this, and why the earning potential is so low. But it did make me pleasantly surprised to learn that it does get better at higher BRs.
