Aircraft Classes and Passive Skills

Aircraft in Battle of BackYard are divided into distinct classes: Fighter, Attack Plane, Bomber, Dive Bomber, Torpedo Bomber, Cargo, and Special. Each class (except Special) features defined passive or active skills tailored to their role in the skies. In this report, we’re focusing on passive skills and how they impact gameplay.

Bombers: Precision and Power

Bombers can carry a massive payload of "bomb"-type weapons and drop them nearly instantaneously. This makes them perfect for carpet bombing, allowing pilots to blanket large areas with devastating firepower in a single pass.

Dive Bombers: Risk-Rewards Amplifier

Dive bombers receive a damage multiplier for both their bomb-type weapons and the speed of their dives. The faster and steeper the dive, the greater the damage. While this maneuver is risky, it can obliterate key targets with precision strikes that turn the tide of battle.

Torpedo Bombers: Optimal Drop Precision

Effect: Torpedo bombers gain additional damage based on the height of their drop. Carefully managing altitude before releasing torpedoes ensures devastating strikes on water-based targets.

Special Planes: Unique Skills

While not covered in today’s report, Special Class aircraft each come with their own distinctive skills—active, passive, or a mix of both—designed to shake up traditional combat strategies. Stay tuned for more details in future updates!

We’re eager to see how these passive skills enhance your experience and bring new depth to aerial warfare. As always, thank you for your feedback and support—it’s what keeps our skies alive with action and creativity!

Until next time, may your bombs fly true and your dives be daring!
