when youre first starting out, this game is awesome. however, as you start to move up in rank, it gets progressively more difficult, unlesss you want to spend some serious real world money. Eventually, you will get to a point where you fly for 3 seconds, then blow up. you will never get the chance to shoot, or if you do, your weapons will not be high enough to do any real damage. You will need to buy weapons, but theyre in the 50.00$ to 75.00$ real world currency
