New
- A friends list: every player gets a pilot tag (no password, no e-mail). Add friends by tag or from your Play Games friends, see who is online, and accept or block requests. A verified Play Games link can restore your pilot on a new phone.
- Quick chat between friends: 40 preset phrases and 24 emoji, with no free text.
- Optional push notifications for co-op invites, when a friend beats your best score and when someone passes you in the World Rankings top 10.
- A new CO-OP button next to TAKE OFF and a friends key in the top row with badges.
- Supporter titles: each pack now gives a title (Crew Chief, Colour Bearer, Ace of Aces) with bronze, gold or diamond pilot wings on your hub header and in your Service Record, with a short ceremony. Players who already own a pack get their title too.
- Supporter pack cards show both monuments large in the pack's metal, and the jet monument is now the Raptor.
- At night two searchlights sweep the Honour monument, and the diamond monuments glint day and night.
- A new app icon: the Raptor jet over the red X on a night-raid sky.
Co-op & online
- Co-op now starts from the friends list: invite a friend and they receive the invite in the app or as a notification. There are no room codes to type or share.
- The co-op lobby shows the world, mode and Heat and lets you switch plane before take-off.
- After a co-op run you get a team debrief and "Fly again together".
- Co-op runs go to their own Co-op leaderboard (one row per duo) instead of the solo boards.
Interface
- A new privacy policy, terms and an account deletion page on the website, and you can delete your pilot account in Settings > Friends.
