Pros
Pro Differing user strategies can work equally well
Whether on wants to focus on defense or offense when building their bases either can work in the grand scheme of the game. By going with one over the other it does not limit or hobble that player meaning one is free to go with what kind of gameplay suits them best.
Pro Fun social gameplay where players build alliances
Throughout the game players are able to build up relationships with other players through alliances. The alliances can be used for help during the games such as asking for aid. There is also no limit to how much one can help other players, and in doing so makes for a game where much of it is social where joining an alliance can exponentially reward the player.

Cons
Con Not really free
It's free to play, but a much heard criticism on Steam is that because of recent changes you will have to pay quite a lot to be able to enjoy the game.
Con Cross platform play leads to unbalanced PvP
Mobile (Android, iOS) players are all playing together with desktop PC players, which means during dog fighting sequences the PC players have much finer grained controls over their mobile player opponents. This makes for unfair matching that can lead to mobile players loosing out more often than not if they are facing a PC player. This is also exacerbated by the fact that no one is able to know what platform an opponent may be playing on. So for those on PC their may be the chance of overly easy battles in the game, which may get tiring or lose its appeal.
Con Content locked behind paywall
The free version of the game only has four classes available, those that pay money can get more, but for how old this game is it does appear to be a bit pricey in order to get what many other games offer for free.
