"To those who still wish to hide behind their hateful matching rates. Bring yourself before the light of peace and harmony!"

We have the Infinity Ace Seminar intended to introduce new pilots to the missions and some intricacies of the game. However, this hasn't been updated in some time, and I'm starting to believe that we can remake this and make it even better. As far as your examples:
 * It's difficult to suggest which aircraft and parts you should be aiming for in the Aircraft Tree, because that's solely up to you. Are you looking for an air-to-air fighter? Go up. Are you looking for multiroles? Go down the middle. Are you looking for air-to-ground attackers? Go down. Are you looking for bombers? They're all the way at the bottom. It's difficult to really give suggestions on advancing the tree. However, we can explain how the tree works for sure, such as three items researching if you win and two if you don't, etc.
 * Each mission is available on their respective article. Mission Updates aka emergency missions/mission updates are available on the Mission Update article. Information on Special Raids are available on the Special Raid article as well as the individual mission's article.
 * This also depends solely on playstyle, so it would be really difficult to help out with.
