World of Warplanes News

Pilots!

From April 3 at 13:20 CEST through May 1 at 13:20 CEST (UTC+2), a chain of 20 missions awaits you. For their completion, you'll receive a new aircraft— Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk—and other valuable rewards!

This warplane is inspired by the venerable First American Volunteer Group, widely known as Flying Tigers. It retains the great maneuverability in turns, which is characteristic to the whole P-40 family, but is augmented with a pair of wing-mounted 250 lb bombs. This makes it excellent for a wide variety of roles, both as a great dogfighter and a point-strike aircraft for ground assaults.

Note:
You may skip missions of the marathon by purchasing certificates in the Premium Shop.
Only Tier IV–X aircraft can take part in the event.

You can find more details about the chain of missions on our official portal!

Keep completing marathon missions on your favorite warbirds to grab all the event's rewards! Don't have time to complete all the missions? Just visit the Premium Shop and purchase certificates to speed up the completion of the in-game event!

On March 15, from 9:00 to 13:00 CET (UTC+1), the servers will undergo maintenance to deploy Update 2.1.20.

Update 2.1.20 introduces a brand-new reward aircraft:

• Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk, a Chinese Tier V multirole fighter.
