When at the hanger, highlight "Customization" and hit X. It'll take you to the the decals setup. Using the pic as a guide, bottom left hand corner is a set of 4 decals. Use your DS4 touch pad (like a mouse) and point the arrow to the unlocked left side and tap the the touch pad with the arrow pointed in the box. A window should appear with all types of decals you can purchase (some will be locked for future required earnings). Again using the touch pad, select the decal, drag and place the decal to your plane. You can resize it (similar to how you would on a tablet) and place it on the part of the plane you like. Note your D-pad options such as (both sides) if you wish. In short, your touch pad on your DS4 acts like a mouse and tablet screen would. Good Luck.

When you start the early fields of battle, namely Albion and Stalingrad, you will immediately see everyone mixing it up in one big, crazy dogfight. Everyone goes after planes. Don't fall into this trap. Ignore the planes and take out as many ground targets as you can. That is what determines which side wins the battle and you can rack up a ton of points this way. Only go after a plane if one presents itself as an easy target or you can't shake one off of your tail. I have gotten well over 35 ground kills on the Stalingrad level: it enabled my team to win and gave massive points for my research projects and crew upgrades. Following this logic, try to take out stationary AA guns or stationary Artillery first. They are the easiest to hit and kill. When you move on to vehicles, take out AA and artillery vehicles first, as they can damage you and they have less protection than armored vehicles. Save the armored vehicles for last. You WILL get shot down a lot at first, both by enemies and by ground fire, and by simply crashing. Get used to it. Keep upgrading your plane and adjust your flying (never in a straight line for any length of time while being fired upon) and you will get a lot better. Learn how your plane controls: less speed equals tighter turns. If you can't out turn your opponent, out run them. Hope this helps.

Be careful with only going after ground target, you do not get nearly as many Lion Points and RP Points as you do Planes. Without these points you will slow your progression on research of parts and new planes. Also, you can only destroy light tanks, AAA, Artillery and Howitzers with the weapons that you start off with your planes, need rockets for Medium and Heavy tanks and pillboxes. BTW the Americans have machine guns on their Tier 1 planes where the Russians have Cannons.

Attached is a pic I took regarding how to initiate playing with friends? Maybe someone wants to take the lead in setting it up? Like I said, this game is so addictive, it's all I've been playing lately. Never enjoyed online so much now.

Add them to your in game friends list and send a squad invite, think you can only invite 4 friends per squad. Custom battles are good to play together but you do not get any progression points.

How do you get the decals to show up on that screen? My decal slots are blank even though I have earned decals.

1 - With your finger on the touch pad, move the cursor inside the box (box will say choose decal)
2 - Double tap with your finger with the cursor inside the box
3 - Window with decals will appear

Been online getting myself shot down regularly or more likely pointing the nose of my plane towards Terra Firma and hitting the throttle to 110%.....

But it's been fun!
