Squadron Vehicles: VT5

Post


Meet the interesting Chinese VT5 light tank, used by the Bangladesh Armed Forces and coming to the game as a Squadron Vehicle in the Hornet’s Sting major update! 

VT5: A Squadron Light Tank for China at Rank VII  At a glance:
  • Good mobility.
  • 105 mm gun with APFSDS.
  • Thermal imager.
  • Mediocre armor protection. 
Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
During the late 1990s, Bangladesh did not consider defense spending a priority, as the country was going through hard times with its economy, and there was a friendship agreement with India. Later however, escalating border confrontations forced the government to urgently engage in strengthening its defense capability. In 2009, a plan for modernizing the Armed Forces was launched, which received significant fundin... Read more

So Much For a Break Between Events Cycles

Hey! We posted an official response about this on our forum:

Talking About the Overlapping of the Raider Hunter and Rocket Storm Vehicle Events

Hey everyone! While we always aim to start an event with at least 1-3 days break in between, the overlapping of the Raider Hunter and Rocket Storm events is an exception in our event cycle.

To be open about it, we originally planned to have Rocket Storm start a few days after the Raider Hunter event (as normal). However due to work on the major update, our game production workflow and upcoming events, we had to deviate from our plan and start it earlier.

We also don’t usually start events on Mondays, Fridays and on weekends because if something goes wrong or breaks unexpectedly, we need to be there to fix it as soon as possible. This is also why we don’t finish events on weekends. Events usually take 12, 14 or 18 days depending on the stages needed (6 or 7 or 9 stages), so they have to start on specific... Read more

Before World War II, Colorado participated in training exercises, maneuvers,... Read more

Monthly Decals for March!

Post


Hello everyone, today we’re back with a fresh set of historical decals! We’ve been very happy to see the positive reception to this event returning, and we appreciate all the feedback and suggestions you’ve left.

Before we get into the decals, we have a couple of points from feedback. As you know, the format is 5 new decals and 5 decals from previous events and we’ve seen a lot of requests to return certain popular decals for unlock again. While we can’t add everything requested in the short term, we’ll aim to return some of the most popular decals we’ve seen comments for in future months.

We’ve also made a small tweak. Previously in each event, only one decal cost 200 Golden Eagles and didn’t have a task, which we realize was a bit arbitrary. Considering now that each decal can be purchased with Golden Eagles, we’ve removed this limitation, meaning ... Read more

A Decal and Discounts on Finnish Aircraft for Finnish Air Force Day!

Post


Finland declared its independence in December 1917 and shortly after on March 6th 1918, the country’s Air Force was formed. The Finnish Air Force showed itself especially well during the two Soviet-Finnish wars. The number of downed Soviet aircraft was an order of magnitude higher than Finnish air losses. As a result of a peace treaty, Finland significantly reduced its Air Force after the war, however it began to build it up again in 1990. Currently, the Finnish Air Force has 60 multi-role American F/A-18 aircraft and another 64 F-35 Lightning II are to join them.


Discounts on Finnish aircraft for Golden Eagles! The following Finnish vehicles are available at a 30% discount.
When: From March 6th (11:00 GMT) until March 10th (11:00 GMT).
Where: Sweden > Aviation > Premium vehicles.
