Think this may be the first time they've done somehting like this. Hopefully they'll do this next time the prize is a superplane. Then maybe those things will actually be useful. God no, that's unfair and completely unbalances the game. If you want a superplane then you better pay and earn it by being a real flying ace. I find this only acceptable if said superplane would be a top 20 reward. No it wouldn't. A lvl 5 R-101 (for example) is 1021 points. By comparison, a lvl 9 Su-37 is 1036 points. And it would still cost 14 million credits or more to take the R-101 to lvl 6. Right now the superplanes are borderline useless unless you're a huge cash player. Spending hundreds of dollars on the game does not make you a "real ace." It just makes you a guy with a lot of free cash and time.
