Friends

Playing Air Combat with friends makes it that much special.

The friend feature lets you add someone to your friend list and then stay updated on what they are doing while logged on the server. To use the friend feature simply type Friend button in-game and you will be given a list of options.

Air Combat's Friend System is a way to friend people so that you can see if they are online and be able to message them. It also allows a lot of different other functions, such as send gifts, form teams and carry out battles with those players, either in a two-pilot team or a four-pilot team.

## Friend list

If a player has already been added to your Friends List, his/her avatar, nickname, team (if have) and medal information will be displayed on your friend list page. You can check his online status clearly and simply check his profile by tapping on the avatars.

* The friend list is mainly ordered by the latest login time, and then sorted out by the season medal count descendly.
* Tap on the message icon to send private message to friends.
* You need a confirmation to delete someone from your friends list. If you decide to remove a friend, you will also be automatically removed from his or her list. Keep that in mind.

Attention! You can have 20 friends in your list at the maximum. If someone tries to send you a request, they will get an error saying that your friends list has reached the maximum capacity. To add more friends once you reach this limit, you will have to remove some existing friends from your list.

## Sent requests

There are 3 ways to find a player and send friend request: from leaderboard, from chatroom, team and the players that you recently matched with. On recent matched page, there will list at most 20 players that you recently played. The system will also recommend friends to you according to the close combat time, close combat power and common friends.

The most effective way is to search with player's ID. The Friends system supports a search function that allows you to send requests even to players that you don't see in battles or in chat.

To create a new request, you need to:

* Enter a player's nickname at the bottom of the friends list;
* Make sure that he or she has been found in the database;
* Click "Send".
* Only a person that has confirmed your request will be added to your list.

## Incoming friend requests

This tab is used for displaying all incoming requests sent to you by other players. You can accept a request or deny it.

Once you add a friend, an exclamation mark will appear by the Friends button. Once you click on it, your friend will appear at the top of your list and the system will register that you have seen the name of your new friend. The next time you open your Friend list, he will then be placed with other friends.

## Play with friends in battles

Now players can invite their friends to battles. To do that, just enter the team-up battle, select battle mode and then open the Friends menu and left-click on the nickname of the friend you want to invite.

* A context menu will appear. Click "Invite to battle".
* Please note that you can only invite friends to battles that are online and available in the game.
* If someone invites you to a battle, you will get a notification in the top right of the hangar.

## Add to Blacklist

If you find some players are very annoying in the chatroom, then you can use the blacklist feature to solve this issue. After being added to the blacklist, his messages won't be reached to you anymore.

If you have added someone to the blacklist accidentally, you can simply remove him from the blacklist, then you can receive his message again.
