Awards
How pilots earn medals and badges, and every tier for both sides.
Each side has its own set of eight award tiers. A tier unlocks as soon as a pilot reaches any one of its three thresholds — Flights, Air Victories, or Ground Victories — during a single life. You don't need all three at once, and higher tiers require higher numbers in at least one of them.
- Awards are earned during a single life.
- Reaching any one of the three stats below unlocks that tier's award.
- Die and your streak resets to zero.
