Originally posted by Pyro Yes, this is something that we're looking to do, but not so much on a random basis. As you progress in rank, the better planes and ground crews will become available to you. So your airframe might be a little slicker, your engine run a little stronger, your guns less prone to jams, those kind of things. Additionally, your pilot can progress as well with better g-tolerance. The differences will be subtle, but every little thing can help.
