Cosmonautics Day
Attention! This news was published on the old version of the website. There may be some problems with news display in specific browser versions.
The 12th of April marks the 56th anniversary of manned spaceflights, humankind's’ first foray into space, a day that not only was the beginning of another chapter in exploration, but a moment that moved humanity from the realms of science fiction, into the unexplored worlds of science fact. It will be a record that can never be beaten, a young Soviet cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin shook off the chains of Earth and ventured into space for a 108 minute flight on that day in his Vostok 1 spacecraft. A triumph for all mankind!
From April 12th 11:00 GMT to April 13th 11:00 GMT
Take part in “Battle for survival”
“Battle for survival” - an event for Jet fighters.
You will gain 
10,000 Silver Lions for every victory and “Sputnik” or “Rocket” decals for every 5 victories.

hunters win...
1. decals only for event ? 2. no tracking progress ?? 3. japan gets ki-200 germany cant get me 163 ???
its 11:30 how do i join
Some events have Silver Lion or Research Points bonuses. Will this event have either of those to further entice participation?
"You will gain 10,000 Silver Lions for every victory."
When I read "you will get 10k lions for every victory" I thought it'd be on top of normal earnings. I went "eh, that's not much incentive but allright".. but unlimited respawns air domination with jets for 10k lions flat (minus one respawn cost, it seems. at least ammo was free) and 0 RP.. for a 30 minute match I earned 5.1k lions. I mean I don't want the decals that bad and Air Domination is a terrible mode (and GS ends too quickly).
No Sturmvogel or german Ufo? How dare you!
Who Dares, Wins!
Ki-200, but not the Me-163?
Thanks for excluding the ground forces players as well as any air force player without jets from this, it's always nice to make most of your game's community feel excluded, that's what makes a game popular and liked. (read HUGE sarcasm)
Please, be so kind and connect tanks and piston aircraft with first manned space flight...

I unlocked the MiG-15 3 days ago :) Thx admins
So go and unlock decals!
So the F-86F-25 can play in the event but my F-86A-5 cannot?
The only way to win is actually to make your opponents rage quit and you don't even have the F9F-8 (Gajin already doesn't care about this plane, they added it for fan service and now it's one of the most useless 9.0 plane in the game , well played to you)
Not that hard to do tbh because teams have either an extra chromosome or you get sparks
