Two frequently asked Beyond All Reason questions: what happens to aircraft when they land, and how enemy AI difficulty interacts with overhaul scale ratings.

Aircraft on the ground can still be attacked. Enemy air units can target them. However, landed aircraft are harder for enemy air to spot and engage compared to planes in the open sky.
Landing to avoid an incoming fighter sweep works as a short-term survival tactic. Leaving them parked there for too long creates a sitting-duck situation if the enemy searches for you. Use landing as a defensive reflex, not a permanent hiding spot.
AI difficulty settings interact with the overhaul scale system in ways that are not always obvious from the lobby screen. Setting an AI to brutal difficulty while running easy AI mode bumps the effective overhaul scale up by one level.
A five OS game becomes six OS with that combination. The shift matters because overhaul scale controls unit composition, economic scaling, and overall pressure. If you are practicing and the game feels harder than the lobby screen suggests, check both difficulty and AI mode settings.
If you want structured feedback on your games, the mentorship system handles replay reviews. Drop a replay link, mention your in-game name if it differs from your account name, and a mentor will review when available. This is one of the fastest ways to identify the habits holding you back.
Players who seek out replay reviews and structured feedback improve measurably faster. Creed of Champions is built around that exact principle: serious players who want honest feedback in a supportive, non-toxic setting.
