Metal Skies – Tips, Tricks, Cheats, and Strategy Guide

Metal Skies is a new aircraft dogfighting game for the iOS and Android. You get to play as old-school aircraft, anything from biplanes to the classic P-51 Mustang, and you can collect pilots and planes, as well as coins and metals. Read on for some tips and tricks for Metal Skies!

You have two main weapons that you can use against enemy pilots – your guns and your missiles. Either way. fire into the enemy’s fuselage to do maximum damage, as that does about double the damage of firing into the enemy’s wing. Aim at the enemy plane to charge the missile shot. When it’s blue, you can fire. Fire your guns while you aim.

You can power up your gun’s damage and its cooldown rate with upgrades that are purchased using coins, but each time you gain an experience level, those increase as well as your missile’s damage rate (which cannot be upgraded using coins). Spend coins on upgrades in the hangar so that you can increase your plane’s speed (making it easier to avoid enemy fire) and hit points.

Every time you play a round, a subquest will pop up offering you coins and experience if you beat it. Right after the round starts it will pop up in small text on the bottom of the screen. Usually you will either have to fire a specific amount of shells or bullets into the wing or fuselage, or aim a missile at the fuselage.

Each pilot can gain experience levels and maturity, which increase their skills. Both skills and experience levels can be gained by playing either single player rounds or arena rounds, but each round will use one fuel, so you will have to be smart and conserve your fuel. Your best bang for the buck, by far, generally is in the arena unless you are on the more advanced campaign rounds, so use the arena for grinding and farming.

Keep an eye out to see when a missile is on your tail, and when it is, start hitting the evade button and steering back and forth, up and down. Steer up, down, back and forth to avoid gunfire, too – however, if your machine gun is very powerful, there will be no need to avoid as long as your aim is good enough that you can constantly keep the enemy’s fuselage in your sights.
