The new progression system introduced in Update 2.0.5 will include multiple changes to aircraft configurations and loadouts. All aircraft and their equipment and consumables have been split into 3 historic Periods. Period I will include warplanes from Tier I to IV, Period II — Tier V-VII, and Period III — Tier VIII-X. They depict the warplanes’ complexity and technical advancement. Since the consumables are now also divided into historic Periods, you will only be able to install them on the corresponding aircraft.
The cost of the consumables will also vary depending on their historic Period. All the enhanced consumables available for gold have been changed and will now only be activated manually. Take note of the changes to consumables that reduce engine heat: now they either increase the engine cooldown speed when you are not using boost or provide up to 10 seconds of “free” boost without heating the engine.
Ammunition also becomes a sort of consumable that can be installed in a slot in forward-facing armament. You will be able to use only one kind of ammunition for all the guns on your aircraft. Its cost will always be the same and only depends on its Period, which is very different from our previous system where installing improved ammo belts on a warplane with multiple guns could be quite costly.
The mechanics of some consumables have been changed and we also introduced several new kinds of consumable:

With Update 2.0.5 going live, all the consumables available on players’ accounts will be dismounted from their aircraft and converted into the new consumables based on the following principles:
- All consumables will be replaced with similar new ones at a 1:1 ratio, with three exceptions: Weapons Ventilation and Emergency Weapons Cooling will be compensated with Improved Fragmentation consumables, and Weapons Cooling will be replaced with Improved Explosives. Since the slots for consumables are not universal anymore but require the corresponding Period for the consumables you want to install there, the new consumables will be automatically distributed between Periods proportionally to the number of suitable slots for such consumables in all aircraft in the player’s Hangar. For example, a player has slots for Emergency Medical Kits in 9 warplanes from Period I, 21 warplanes from Period II and 3 aircraft from Period III. Then the same proportion (27%:63%:10%) will be used when converting all the Emergency Medical Kits.
- All the ammunition belts will be sold for their full price and new corresponding ammunition kits will be purchased. They will be split into Periods based on the initial price of the old belts: if they were cheaper than 5,000 credits, they will be replaced with ammo kits for Period I, between 5,000 and 11,000 — Period II, and the most expensive will become ammunition kits for Period III. The number of new kits will be rounded up.
Don’t forget to check out new aircraft configurations, reinstall relevant equipment and consumables on your favorite warplanes, and head for the skies to capture new materials in battles and perfect your warbird’s loadout!
