Pilots!

On March 20, from 08:00 to 12:00 UTC, the servers will undergo maintenance to deploy Update 2.1.26.

[h2]New Aircraft[/h2]


Update 2.1.26 introduces a brand-new reward aircraft–the British Tier VIII multirole fighter Hawker Tempest Mk. V (PV).

This heavily armed modification of the famous British multirole fighter was developed in the later stages of World War II. The aircraft boasts two huge underwing 47 mm Vickers autocannons that can easily shred ground targets or punch enemy aircraft out of the sky.

To earn it, you'll need to participate in an upcoming game event.

[h2]New Achievement
[/h2]

A new achievement was added for the upcoming event.

[h2]Matchmaker Improvements
[/h2]

We "taught" the matchmaker to see the difference between attack aircraft and bombers when assembling teams in the pre-battle queue. As a result, you'll have fewer situations when one team is much more capable of destroying ground targets and capturing territories. We'll continue to improve the matchmaker to give you the best experience possible.

[h2]Bug Fixes
[/h2]

• We made it clearer what active missions are available to you depending on the aircraft you have.
  
• Enhancement prices for Experimental Reinforced Bolt Carriers (Periods II and III) are now correct.
  
• A few localization issues were fixed.
