Dreams Come True: Mistel 2

Sometimes, things happen that you wouldn’t even dare to dream of. Meet the Mistel 2, a very peculiar aircraft(s!), featuring a Fw 190 literally carrying a Ju 88 bomb. Due to this unusual configuration, it earned the nickname “Father and Son”. By taking part in Air Battles, you can also earn a decal of the same name, a “Child with a Bomb” decal and a “Mistletoe” (the literal translation of “Mistel”) profile frame!

The British A-20 is Available with a Discount To celebrate the A-20’s First Flight!

The Douglas A-20 prototype first took to the skies on October 26th 1938. It served as the basis for a wide range of aircraft designed for various roles, including light bombers, attack aircraft, reconnaissance planes, and night fighters. Known by the nickname “Havoc”, the A-20 saw service with the air forces of France, Great Britain, the United States, and the USSR. The USSR received large numbers of the aircraft via the Lend-Lease program.

Improvements to DIRCM

In the upcoming major update, we’ll be releasing an overhauled version of DIRCM that addresses several shortcomings.

The J35A Returns with a Discount for the Dragon’s First Flight!

On October 25th 1955, the Swedish Draken (Dragon) took to the skies for the first time. This supersonic fighter featured a unique double-delta wing design. It could confidently reach speeds of Mach 2, take off from short runways, and operate effectively in all weather conditions. It is no wonder that it remained in service until as late as 2005!

The Huey gained fame during the Vietnam War, where it provided fire support, assisted with resupply missions, transported troops, and evacuated the wounded. This versatile helicopter also found extensive use in peacetime; in total, more than 16,000 UH-1 units were built and operated by dozens of countries around the world.

New Roundels and Decals!

Hey everyone! Today we thought we’d put together a small blog about some of the new decals we’ve been working on! Over the last few updates and into the near future as well we’ll be adding new decals for nations and branches that currently don’t have any. This also includes the modern era of some nations that predominantly only have WW2 era decals available. First though, let’s start with some new national insignia coming to the game in the next update!
