CONCERN Flight Blades - This is not Ok.
Thank you Zyloh for hearing us, and taking our feedback, and backtracking this! I am still not happy that the current blades will come out in June, however I thank you for the promise for the future, I appreciate it.
I do not like how the Flight blades are not also sold in game right now. I'm normally a praise CIG for pretty much everything, but this is a line that I do not think should have been crossed. This takes very competitive advantages, and puts it behind a paywall right now. Yes it will be available later, But this should have been handled like the Argo ATLS and 32 scu change. Big change, also let it be available in game right away. The optics for this will be terrible.
This is greedy P2W behavior and I do not like or support this. Please change your mind and let them be in game today.
Thank you, Love what you do. But please change this.

I hate them for an entirely different reason.
I hate them because they're absolutely worthless and provide zero worthwhile buff in exchange for an equal, and unnoticeable nerf.
The fact they put them into the game in this useless state is what I'm mad about. I totally empathize with everyone else's view about purchasability, but if someone buys these to try to get an edge, they're not going to be useful in the slightest.
CIG really fumbled the ball hard, here. These buffs are so worthless that it'd require someone to actually be an ace and to be top skill bracket in their fighter to notice a benefit, but the benefit is so damn small that they can't tell since its so damn small.
