Hostile Skies Tier List Calculator
Rank the planes you own.
The tier list calculator ranks the Hostile Skies planes you own, not the global tier list. Pick the planes you have unlocked, the calculator re-orders them based on the global Plane tier list and your preferences.
How to use it
- Tick the planes you have unlocked.
- Adjust the role weights: pure dogfighter, multi-role, bomber, jet.
- The calculator re-ranks your owned planes.
Why this matters
The global tier list assumes you own every plane. Once you pick the planes you have, the rank shifts. A plane that is B tier globally may become S tier for your roster because it fills a role you have not yet covered.
Pair with the Plane stat database
When the calculator ranks a plane, open the Plane stat database to see why it landed where it did.
Why use role weights
Most pilots lean into one or two roles. The role weights let the calculator highlight planes that match your style. New pilots should leave the weights even; experienced pilots should weight energy higher.
When to recalculate
Recalculate after every major patch. New planes drop and old planes get buffed; the calculator uses the current patch data.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to tick the planes you own — the calculator will assume you have nothing.
- Setting the weights too extreme — you will rank a single plane.
- Ignoring the bottom of the list — sometimes a B-tier plane is the best fit for a missing role.
What the calculator does not do
- It does not save your roster across devices.
- It does not sync with the in-game inventory.
- It does not account for upgrades.

How the calculator ranks your roster
The calculator starts from the global Plane tier list, then filters to the planes you have unlocked. The result is a personal ranking that reflects what you can actually fly.
