The two jets outside the tree
- F-14A
- The pre-order bonus on every edition, Standard included.
- ADFX-02 Morgan -PIXY-
- Level 1 reward of the Season 1 Premium Ace Pass (the Deluxe voucher unlocks it). Usable in the campaign only after every mission is cleared. It is not on the aircraft page, so it is not counted in the table. More on the Ace Pass page.
How jets unlock
In the campaign you buy jets and their parts in the Aircraft Tree with MRP, the currency missions pay out; extra objectives pay more. Online mode has the same list of jets, but you earn them again there through its own rewards. The Aircraft Tree page covers both, and the mission list shows which missions are known so far.
Which role to fly
Pick by the targets, not the plane. The sortie screen shows a mission benchmark, air-to-air or air-to-ground, next to the jet you are about to take, so check it before you commit.
