Pilots!

On May 2, from 08:00 to 12:00 UTC, the servers will undergo maintenance to deploy Update 2.1.27.

Update 2.1.27 introduces a brand-new reward aircraft–the American Tier VII multirole fighter Chance-Vought XF4U-6 Corsair.

This modification is based on the regular late-model Corsair but packs even more punch! The XF4U-6, also known as XAU-1, was adapted to serve as a ground attack and close air support aircraft during the Korean War. Its four 20 mm cannons pose a serious threat to both aerial and ground targets, while a whole battery consisting of ten rockets will easily deliver a killing blow.

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

Various graphical assets for the upcoming game event were added.

We added a new supply crate that will become available during the upcoming game event.
