May also be worth noting- a portion of the rewards are granted upon landing, so there is a large incentive to make successful missions and bring the aircraft home.


Today, we’ll be taking a look at a real classic with a fresh coat of paint, the Finnish captured KV-1 Model 1942! The m1942 was one of the last conventional KV-1 variants constructed, chiefly it features improved armor protection at the cost of around one ton of extra weight. This new premium tank will be arriving in the next major update!

Sorry to hear that, perhaps we should have put more emphasis on the fact that a "top" vehicle must be purchased.

Hi, World War Mode is currently not available and hasn't been for some time. However, we are planning to return it in some form in the future.
