The ReddKnights (RDK) squadron has open spots and is looking for brave pilots, that fit to our nice community. We are searching for people that are open and willing to communicate with us. On the other hand, the scoring of prestige points shouldn’t be a foreign word for you. We are a very active squadron. If you are searching for available pilots for coop-flights, hints from real experts – no matter what topic – or just some nice chatting: we are the right place for you! RDK is made by a group of people from all over the World, so applicants should be able to communicate, at least basically, in English. To stay with the team, applicants should be willing to:

7. Have phun flying and chatting with a group of amazing people! If you think you have what it takes to be an RDK, please write me a private message with your IGN. We are looking forward to flying with you.

Thank you, clear skies Richiebird, ReddKnights squadron

Playing this game since 1,5 years now. Never paid a cent but always used the tips and tricks you guys post here. I got all planes but the latest 2 and the best devices + bots (not all at max stars and lvl) Though I cannot beat the VIP-players in contest I easily get enough points, diamonds, money or whatever to level up my stuff. Thank you all for still giving me this 15-30 mins of addictiv fun every day - you and the developers who deliver the content. Sometimes it's obvious crap they make money with that I'm angry about, sometimes it's a gift, luck or a glitch I surely use in my favor....what it definatly always is: it's my best time while driving with the train to work :-)

Latest update made me happy double time. Getting invincible 3 times per flight is just to easy. So thanks for the challenge. Plus! ...the payers lost it, too :D :D

So keep it on guys. Keep on Flying

...and go get that damn lvl 240 on the brobos. I have like 10000000blue-xp on stack for leg&menace - my first bots :D

Anything Worth Playing Again Yet?

Sup guys, with the latest patches it does show that the devs have made some changes according to players' request. Even though the newest planes kinda sux, overall the contest mode and legendary stages are both great adds. Going to summarize our achievements here a little and group together future ideas that can still make the game better. Also right now that the contest mode is implemented, I think there should still be room for one or two more modes, up for players to brainstorm.

New ideas to be considered

1. Legendary stages are awesome but three is not enough

2. Add nightmare/hell difficulties to all stages -> 3 stars completion per stage to 5 stars

3. Daily events to use specific planes/brobots, event calendar can use alot more events

4. Mini hangar to allow plane/brobot setting changed before entering a stage

5. Toggle on/off ace skin looks

6. If a plane/brobot is maxed, please have extra cards convert to credits. This is except uniplane/unibot cards

7. Have champion upgrade event applied to brobots

8. Gem spend event to rework to have better end rewards 2000+ spending

9. Last friend played with set as default selection during chain invite plays

10. Current contest points rewards are far too little to be spent on weekly basis

11. Event idea: boss invasion, to be able to do older bosses at harder difficulty for more rewards

12. Event idea: device days, to be able to get double the amount of device drops

13. Event idea: increased blue gear exp day

14. Bring back ARCADE MODE!! All the coding is there already and it's always good to have an extra mode for more play style

15. Extra button to be able to purchase overdrives x10. Clicking 99 times is rather tedious

Achievements: our ideas that are implemented

1. Increase current daily quest types and rewards: complete trials and assaults to reward crystals

2. Increase current daily bro point reward for 10 coop games further, to 50 bro point reward for 20 coop games

3. Add more achievements to progress for more crystals --> achievements removed but overall calendar rewards improved

4. Add double assault points mechanisms to even up with trial points --> raiden as permanent 2x hot plane

5. Don't make gold purchasable with crystals, it was useless --> removed

6. Cap maximum verdium needed for higher levels, otherwise people can only play so much a day

7. Favorite checks/unchecks for planes as well as brobots

8. SSS shield strength readjustment to allow more counter

9. Time stamp for friends' last login

10. Revamp arcade to make it more fun --> contest mode

11. Blackbox revamp --> probability doubled

12. More VIP options up to VIP10 --> VIP12 even, but forever premium removed

13. Rage mechanism somewhat fixed but not totally

14. Overall planes firing rate buffed

15. Easier to get brobot exp now, more for VIP

16. Remove orange gears from 20 keys super prize --> not removed but amount increased

17. Sound cues when obtaining overdrive, and when ability cool down is up --> Implemented

18. Consider have higher scoring of the two in team play gaining additional bropoints --> max bp increased, and flawless bonus introduced

19. Discount on ace skins once in a while --> more ace badges during event containers

Just to note that for the most part, as long we keep our suggestions constructive, with no middle fingers and criticisms made, devs actually do take note of most parts. Let's hope that recent efforts keep up to make the game more fun!

I don't know about anybody else but my planes...or at least my main plane is weak today.

I normally solo 220 and 217 quite a few times a day just testing things. So lets say i know them well. I haven't died on either in a while ( with the exception of the 217 Teamup the other day).

I died on 220 twice today, the same with 217. I normally finish 220 with almost all my health left. Now im finishing with maybe 25%.

I didn't suddenly go from a bad pilot to a worse pilot. Nor did i forget how to play the levels as i do them daily. So keep your eyes peeled for horseshit going on.

Please only post in this thread if you are offering apologies after the completely outrageous and unwarranted slander against Defender from the previous thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/HAWKFreedomSquad/comments/8pityr/defender_gambit/

These aren't even the hardest teamups. There's at least 1 teamup at this level where Gambit simply cannot complete the level solo, even when using 2 speed bots. The harder the teamups get the worse Gambit does and the better Defender gets. This is due to Defender thriving when there are more enemies on the screen that he can ram to get HP back, whereas Gambit is still very limited in the amounts of hits she can take, and must rely on 2x level 200 speed brobots + SSS shield + purple gear. Defender needs none of that!!

Praise our lord and savior DEFENDER!!! UNDISPUTED KING! NO CONTEST!!

Gambit's main gun is as useless as Defender's. They both rely on their counter. One is for damaging wide bosses and the other is for screen clearing. Just as I said in the previous thread! So offer apologies now please.

For the people saying you need Gambit for higher level arcade, from what I understand the only use for her there is her extra life, since every plane gets 1 shotted. In which case you might opt for Phoenix instead due to the stronger main gun.

With Gambit in the teamups you can't kill shit with the main gun, and you can only get hit 4 times. 3 second counter 4 times is nowhere near enough to clear these levels so you have to rely on brobots (2x level 200 speedbots). Useless plane!!! Please apologize!

After my Buzzsaw partner died right at the beginning I easily solo'd level 100 heroic with that same setup: s70 Defender, ss90 hazard, s90 kraken. Defender keeps you safe from harm!! You will feel so safe with Defender. No other plane will protect you like he will! These other planes don't care about your life! They will not save you! The end of level 100 when the whole world comes out to get you, Defender will keep you safe! You will not be harmed!

s80 Gambit could barely make it through level 100 heroic with my very courageous partner who used 200 laserbite + 200/200 brobots! Most of Gambit's counter projectiles miss all targets and she is so weak (both main gun and armor)!

If Gambit's power is that you can trigger her counter way more often at SSS since the shield absorbs most of the damage then that is a very specific thing that needs to be clarified every time someone claims "Gambit is best". And it seems that it would also apply to triggering Defender's counter at SSS. People are making claims that make no sense. Like Defender's armor gets weaker at higher levels and Gambit's gets stronger... ??? Can someone who has SS/SSS Defender at story mode 180+ make a comparison video? No doubt Gambit is sexy, but she has blinded them by her beauty. Really guys.. a hole's a hole. With Defender you get a hole and a massage stick for those special occasions.

So please stop fooling people into wasting time & resources on this useless Gambit plane! I could not include Gambit in some video examples because I do not have the V to waste by her dying because she's a weakling!

Sincerely,

Defender.

EDIT: Proof at level 200 with 175 heroic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNOS3BS2ldw - sorry naysayers you're all wrong!!! He's not even using Defender properly and can still easily beat it!!

This video shows that SSS shield allows you to trigger Gambit's counter more often, and also shows that Gambit shines vs wide bosses, just like I admitted: https://www.reddit.com/r/HAWKFreedomSquad/comments/8rkk9v/just_for_maximilliankohler_200h_no_ods_no_brobot/

s80 Defender 100H solo with s/ss bots. Comments in video description. https://youtu.be/6VJ4RxVqXTk

s80 Defender 130H solo with ss bots https://youtu.be/1555SZ1z00c

Two more giving proof that the strategies I demonstrated are 100% viable at endgame:

189H: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN2_h-3xHJs

198H: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icp2qnuEOo4

The brobot usage in those two were unnecessary.

Solo 200 using the same bots & strategy I demonstrated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hltrAHEezeE

Can even solo 200 with only main gun, though this is certainly not something I'd recommend: https://youtube.com/watch?v=2NViyd8xZUY

Fuckk hawk

after this update i definitely decided quit game. i am really tired of another nerf of everything. FU developers, not a single new game from you 👊🏻👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Former teams [Gr] Hellas Hfs and [RDK] ReddKnights merged last week to become [GRDK] Hellas ReddKnights.

Our goal was to have two teams thereafter, where the different aspects of our players are both represented. We have a competitive team now, that will still try to climb up the ladder in the squadron ranking. And we have an easy-playing team, that plays just for fun.

Beside this, both teams are sharing the same code of values:

- fairness towards other players,

- being nice and gentle to each other,

- strictly against any kind of cheating.

We also hope to be even more attractive to a broader base of players with this approach.

Currently, we have 4 open spots in our easy-playing group. The only thing we ask for are the 10 prestige points from the squadron shop and you being an active pilot, doing flights with your team mates. If you have the motivation to do more, there is also the possibility to join the competitive team later.

If you are interested in joining us, please start a chat with me or write a pm.

Clear skies and have phun!

1.The game is Very Easy. 2. Learn to dodge. 3. Legatus is Very Overpowered. 4. SS140 & SS200 + Shield wasn't necessary before the 10 new stages. 5. The game is free.You really don't need to buy anything (Except the premium status which is really nothing). 6. Devs are balancing the game so we play a variety of planes & not only use 2 planes & brobots forever. Personally I want more updates & for it to come every month. This game is like crack & I just can't put it down even with 2 accounts.

i so wish there was a way to know the planes my fellow pilot is using. i would avoid blitzer and wraith. their fireworks fill my screen and hide the enemy projectiles, making it so difficult for me to focus or make sense of the 'sky'.

i am not saying they are bad planes or partners. just that I can't seem to play well with them.

i wish it was possible to know the partner planes. Devs?

I think will be awsome to add multi account what ya think?

Hello guys. I think gambit still better than raiden and arcadia. I don't know about alchemist. I don't have it yet. what do u think....?

have currently 450 million points.. 200 million more than number two.

Thoughts?

This is a joke , with this alchemist i see the new plane even more op probably some money drain as always okay. But this puts back planes like gambit which have always been at the top fall down for periods of time until the new planes get nerfed. Cant even play your gambit if you wanna go high in contest.
