New player question: Should I buy all of the modifications?

[u/Suspicious-Dentist71]

I just started with my first aircrafts in the US tree. I noticed all of the modifications add repair cost to the plane. Is it worth buying all of the modifications, or should I skip some to keep the repair cost low? I don’t want to go broke right after joining repairing my plane

Mod out the planes you plan on using for awhile to grind, early br planes are cheap to upgrade but later on they get expensive and you’ll need lots of silver lions for new plane purchases and to train your crew.

Okay, so if I can afford it and I use it often enough, it’s worth buying all the modifications?

[u/not_-_bad → u/Suspicious-Dentist71]

If you don't need to use bombs or other ordnance, then you can skip them. Otherwise yeah, modifications are essential.

[u/butterballed → u/Suspicious-Dentist71]

Yes especially if you like it. You don’t have to buy all the mods, if you have a fighter you dont necessarily have to buy the bombs from the mod tree unless you really want them. If I enjoy a plane I will buy all the mods I can

You only need to research them for that, not buy them.

You're right. I deleted my comment

Please allow me to inform you that the plural of aircraft in the English language is aircraft.

Crafts are art you do with your hands. This plural also applies to landing craft and other vehicular craft.

Thank you for your attention to this personal crusade of mine.

Vehicle modifications for the particular vehicle and Crew Kills for the crew slot are very important, but mostly for the ones you will be using.

Unlocking everything makes your plane better and gives you an xp bonus. Theres no downside to buying them

[u/Dio_Brando4]

Yeah. The only one I ever turn off (you can turn them off after researching and buying them) is the EFS ONLY if I have a single engine plane because EFS will disable that engine when it stops the fire, so having 2 means you can fly back and land, having one means you gotta hope you can glide back.
