FAQ
How do you fly planes in Army Commander Tycoon?
Since Update 2, planes take off with one push and have CLIMB and DIVE buttons; flying also works on phones. See controls.
Can helicopters capture points?
Not as of October 15. Players reported it in the Discord bug forum and the developer replied “I'll make them able to capture.”
