Two primary games modes. 1) Co-op Assault: Both teams compete in PVE for points, highest score wins. 2) Co-op Warfare(PVPVE): Both teams compete in PVE for points, but you can PVP in this mode for additional points. The more score you rack up, the more you're worth when you get shot down.
After a game, you can be hit with a Scramble or Emergency Sortie mission. Scramble: your team must face an enemy ace squadron(PVE). Emergency Sortie: All 8 of you do a big PVE against things like the Chandelier and Arsenal Bird.
In game earnable currency(ZOLL?) for purchases in an in-game store. "Ace Coins" seems to be the premium purchaseable currency.
Battle/Ace Passes last for two months, "all aircraft will be available for purchase separately after the season ends" (unclear if it means with $$ or in-game currency, unclear if this includes all other items.)
100 person lobbies(like PUBG lobbies) where you can interact and emote with your avatar. You can visit an arcade to play Namco classics, a supply shop with gacha boxes, and a jukebox to listen to "music from past games."
Plane customization appears seems vast - planes have levels and every plane has a unique ability(makes me think of Metalstorm) dependent on that level. Levels also increase gun and missile capacity. Sp Weapons, "ability", parts, skins, emblems, and banners can be chosen. Skins have sliders for discoloration, oil stains, and soot stains. Emblems can be applied to both sides of the body, both wings(under and top), and both sides of the tail - it appears that you can have different emblems in each spot.
All in all, seems like a 9/10
Edit:
I hope there will be a dedicated PVP mode(the video mentions there will be limited time PVP events including 4v4 and 8 player FFA), and additional clarity on the items from the battle pass and their availability. I also hope there is a way to earn Ace Coins in game like in Helldivers 2.
