Premium Lanovski's P-47M-1-RE  is available until the 15th of November (07:00 GMT) for Golden Eagles in the US aviation tree!

The king of the interceptors! Modification "М" provides one of the fastest Thunderbolts ever built, and you will feel it in battles. Choose any target - nobody  is able to hide or flee from you, since this aircraft keeps good control even at maximum speeds. The only thing you should avoid is a dogfight - The Thunderbolt is a pretty heavy bird to maneuver efficiently. Get back on the altitude, repeat your dive, and get your frag!

Now, based on the statistics gathered,we’re ready to change certain values and multipliers to bring the accrual of mission score to the target indicators that will help bring activity to the desired level (already present for most of the vehicle types before the “Ground Breaking” update released).
