Decals and Paint Jobs

What are Decals?

Decals are consumable items that can be placed on an aircraft. They look like a sticker, and can increase your aircraft's Speed, Manoeuvrability, Firepower or Durability, by a certain percentage, depending on the Decal.

Decals can be purchased from the Workshop on the home-screen → Customize tab. Prices vary depending on the Decal. 

Once a Decal has been purchased, the timer will begin to count down. Once it reaches zero, the customization will expire.

Decals are transferable between aircraft, but they must be removed from one aircraft before being placed on another. You can equip up to two Decals at a time. 

 

What are Paint Jobs?

Paint Jobs are permanent items that can be added on your Aircraft. They change the appearance of your aircraft, and increase its Durability and/or Firepower.

 

Paint Jobs can be purchased from the Workshop on the home-screen → Customize tab. Prices vary depending on the Paint Job and the highest tier aircraft you own.

 

Once a Paint Job has been purchased for an aircraft, it will remain on its purchased aircraft. Unlike Decals, they are not transferable between aircraft. You can place one single Paint Job on your Aircraft at a time. 

How you equip a Decal/Paint Job?

When you purchase a Decal or Paint Job from the “Customize” tab, you will be able to apply it to your currently selected aircraft by tapping “Equip”.

 

If you have multiple Decals (that haven't expired) or Paint Jobs (for the same aircraft), you can change these by:

1. Going into the “Customize” tab
2. Finding the Decal/Paint Job equipped and tap “Remove”
3. Finding the Decal/Paint Job that you own and wish to equip and tap “Equip”.

How do the calculations work for Decals/Paint Jobs?

For example, “Wings of Speed” increases Thrust (speed) by 10%. The aircraft's speed is currently 12.54 and 10% of that number is 1.25. If you were to purchase and equip this decal, the plane's speed would become 13.79

• 12.54 (Base Speed) + 1.25 (Wings of Speed 10%) = 13.79 (New base speed until Decal duration ends)
