General Break down rate

[Airmaster]

Does anyone know how often planes break down? is there a certain pattern of it like say giants break every 5th flight? Whats the difference in the breach down rate between normal, S1, S2 and S3 planes?

I think it is random. I'm only running one prop at the moment and I've had it break down several times in a row then run for 20 flights. It may just be a percentage chance for each flight it may break

It likely is somewhat random though with higher planes that require greens to repair the percentage goes
up significantly. Of course GI denies this but it is quite evident. Personally I feel that for any specific type of plane
the breakdown should never go over 50%. So if you have 6 giants the most that would ever be actively broken would
be 3. This would be easy to accomplish with a couple operators but I digress.

ok

and how is it with S1 and S2 and S3 planes?

I suspect the percentage chance of a breakdown is the same for all planes. The only way to figure it out is to log the numer of flights for each and the number of breakdowns. The sample size for each plane would need to be several hundred flights to be close to an accurate percentage.

around 10-15%, closer to10%

I also think it is random. I have 13 planes, and sometimes none is broken, sometimes 2, 3 or up to 5.

Same here, typically I have 1 plane in repair hangar at a time, but then randomly I can get 5/6 break at once. Always feel like it's higher with Giants/falcons/thunderbirds/condor if you spend fuel to speed up!

 

[Airmaster]

ok good to know

That's because with speed-ups you challenge fate a lot more...

It's all the same for all, falcons appear ss most often due to short turnaround of flights and long repair time.
