From November 19 to December 20, join the in-game event to add the brand-new heavy fighter to your Hangar: Grumman F5F Skyrocket!


The Crimson Dawn event will last from November 19 till December 20. The event will be divided into four stages, each stage will contain two identical phases, during which you will have to fight in several battle modes: Bomber Escort, Conquest, Invasion, and Attrition.

Only aircraft of Tiers IV-X can take part in the event.

• First phase of each stage: from Thursday 17:00 PT / 20:00 ET till Friday 23:00 PT / 02:00 ET.
  
• Second phase of each stage: from Saturday 17:00 PT / 20:00 ET till Sunday 23:00 PT / 02:00 ET.
  

Note: daily missions can be completed only in the Conquest mode.

During each phase, you will have to complete:

• 3 personal missions for each aircraft type. You will earn gold and supply crates by completing the missions
  
• One global mission for all players. Upon completing this mission, you will double the number of supply crates earned, which contain valuable rewards.

Supply crates will double only for those players, who managed to make at least a minimal contribution to the global mission's progress.

On November 9, from 00:00 PT / 03:00 ET to 04:00 PT / 07:00 ET the servers will undergo maintenance to deploy Update 2.1.

Update 2.1.2 introduces the American Grumman F5F Skyrocket heavy fighter, new experimental equipment, a unique supply crate, as well as an increased chance of reward drops for existing supply crates.

From November 16, the game will host the Crimson Dawn global event. Here you will see the return of the Bomber Escort, Invasion, and Attrition modes in which you try to achieve a common goal together with the other players. Reaching this goal will double the number of supply crates that you can receive. In these supply crates, you can find operation orders to obtain the brand-new heavy fighter as well as many other rewards.





New Special Reward Aircraft:

• Grumman F5F Skyrocket – an American Tier V heavy fighter
  

The Grumman F5F Skyrocket is a nimble and maneuverable American heavy fighter. The high speed characteristics help this aircraft immediately intercept most targets. At the same time, the maneuverability of the F5F is closer to lighter aircraft, which makes it much more comfortable when performing maneuvers. The armament requires accuracy when firing and allows hitting targets at medium distances.







Three new types of experimental equipment

• Experimental Turret Armor Protection (Period I, II, III)
  
• Experimental Polished Skin (Period I, II, III)
  
• Experimental Bolt Carriers (Period II, III)
  

• A festive Hangar dedicated to the game's anniversary has been added.
  
• A festive emblem that may be received during the anniversary special has been added.
  
• There is an increased chance for gold, days of Premium Account, and Free XP to drop from all types of supply crates.
  
• A special supply crate within the Crimson Dawn event has been added.
  
• There is updated information on the loading screen.
