We are starting to test a new game mode in War Thunder! In the opendev of the “Wind of Change” update, you were able to try helicopter battles. We have improved the mode based on your feedback and want to invite you to try it out again on the live server.
(AB) [PvE] Helicopter Battles are available in the “Event” tab.
Depending on the BR of your helicopter preset, a game session will be created in one of the encounter options:
7.0 BR — 9.3 BR
9.7 BR and higher
Game mode features
In this game mode your team (human players) must advance the front line by destroying enemy bases and other ground targets scattered across the map. You can respawn unlimited times in this game mode, where each respawn will cost you Silver Lions.
The economy in this game mode isn’t final; we can change it in the process of testing as well as improve the mode itself.
Changes after the first test
The game mode has been divided into several rank ranges for early and late helicopters, where the weapons and characteristics of your opponents are taken into account.
The number of convoys has been changed from 2 to 3.
Give us your impressions
We will be tweaking the event based on the testing results and your feedback. Leave your ideas, comments and report bugs of this game mode you encountered in this thread.
