From 7h 10m to 6 hours now its worth 50% speed also when you active WV and Jet pack bonuses wow no need for speed fuelYup...superfast really shines with the condors. Flights are either 6 hours or 6 hrs 10 minutes. The 20 minute gap was annoying š

Well, I upgraded my S3 Condors with SuperFast livery. The reason behind: if I do excavation map runs, the flight time of S3 Falcon with WV and JP is just above one hour. That means, if you are not part of an alliance with 100% tasks (what extends the duration of the bonuses), your WV, GD and D will expire after 6 waves of planes. With SuperFast livery filght time is 50m+ so you can do 7 waves. If you do the same math without bonuses, 1:48 S3 vs. 1:30 SuperFast means in 15h you do 8 waves with S3 vs. 9 or 10 waves with SuperFast.If I had S3 falcons, I would agree that it may be a waste, since you only get a +10% speed boost. However, the +20% is worth it....especially since I got those two from the event (bought 6 others from the shop....yeah I only had 1 greenie to my name after I was done š ). I also like the idea of falcons able to fly in an hour with WV and jetpack; can do some real damage if executed right. The falcons are the only short time flight that deserves it though....otherwise, save them for the longhauls.
I also wanted to grab some extras so that I can use them on future aircraft (new model or existing). I think a new plane is coming soon...just not sure when, so figured I should be ready in case that happens.
I see your point about the condor not getting much benefit in terms of flights per day. The extra hour gained may indeed be useful, but you would only save about 2 to 3 hours per day between the two, which isn't enough to squeeze in an extra flight.Well, I upgraded my S3 Condors with SuperFast livery.

Same calculations for Condor show (let's take 12h regular flight) 7:12 S3 vs. 6:00 SuFa or 3 waves for 24h with both versions, so not really any benefit. More complicated calculations for WV+JP bonuses applied also don't show decisive benefit of the SuFa livery vs. S3 for Condors.
Of course, my calculations above are adjusted to my game style - I usually use unified fleet. If you are ready to change your planes after every flight, i.e. to fly Condor, then replace it with Jumbo and last with Falcon, you should calculate according to your game style and then 1:12 shorter flight time might be essential.
@Pit1024 actually I can do 4 waves of my 5 Superfast Condors by using free ad 30% speedups and one Fuel Catalyst speedup during one of them. That makes 20 flights per day, still a number for me.Well, I upgraded my S3 Condors with SuperFast livery.
