What to study
The whole battle economy hangs off the left rail: six categories, one roster at a time, each aircraft a silhouette with a count and a price, so calling in air support is a shopping decision made mid-flight. The top bar compresses the match to a timer, two income ticks, two control percentages and a score, while the minimap's numbered rows and SELECT ALL palette keep the ground game one glance away. Frame at 1:12 in the Gameplay Trailer (Steam).
