• Tearing off the tail of helicopters with coaxial rotors is no longer counted as destruction, since it does not have a significant impact on the performance of these types of helicopters. This should help situations where players stop firing at one of these helicopters thinking it is no longer a threat.
  
• The detachment of an aircraft wing when the allowable load is exceeded is no longer counted as a destruction, the same as with the tearing off of flaps or landing gear.

Previously announced changes to vehicle grouping have been implemented:

• The 2S3M has been grouped with the 2S1, and the He 111 H-3 has been grouped with the BV 138 C-1.
  
• The BV 138 C-1 has been grouped with the He 115 C-1.
  
• The “Strela-10M2” has moved from Rank VI to Rank VII.

However, the Rooivalk prototype took to the skies for the first time on February 11th 1990 after the conflict ended.

Not all fighting in World War II took place at the front lines. Allied aircraft carried out risky missions over German territory in order to destroy factories that were producing enemy armored vehicles.

When: February 9th (13:00 GMT) until February 12th (13:00 GMT) take part in the Guardian Angel event!

This event takes place exclusively in Air Realistic Battles. The US team has bombers and escorts whose objective is to destroy targets and provide bomber cover. The German team must intercept these bombers and prevent them from destroying their targets!

• Vehicles available to the US team are: P-47D-22-RE, P-47D-25, P-4...
