When: From May 2nd (14:00 GMT) until May 5th (04:00 GMT)

[h2]Changes from the first test[/h2]
The way it plays will be the same as the first test, with the exception of the following new changes / additions:

• Players are distributed a bit more randomly at the front when spawning in at a random spawn point
  
• Enemy planes near allied spawn points are highlighted on the map (like in Ground Realistic Battles)
  
• Afghanistan has been removed, and the following maps have been added: Sinai, Spain, Rocky Canyon, and Southeastern City
  
• There are now 12 players on the defending team instead of 16 (this was changed near the end of the first test, where the win percentage for the Attackers then raised to a far more reasonable level)
  
• The reward in Silver Lions and research points for destroying the SNR-75 tracking radar has been doubled
  
• Mission score for destroying the SNR-75 tracking radar has been tripled to 270
  
• Mission score for destroying launchers, Shilkas and detecting radars (P-12) has been unified for the Cobra and Phantom and increased to 135
