Battle Pass Season 24: “Do It Yourself” and Its Warbond Shop!

Crews often have to operate in the field. When there’s no fully equipped hangar with tools and specialists nearby, resourcefulness and ingenuity come into play! We’re dedicating Battle Pass Season 24 to the makeshift mechanics and resourceful engineers ready for the boldest improvisations. This season’s vehicle rewards were born from improvisation: the Romanian IAR-81 fighter fitted with a Bf 109G engine, and a Somali modification of the Italian FIAT 6616 armored car, equipped with a 57 mm rocket pod!

Semyon Alekseyevich Lavochkin was born on September 11th 1900; he was a Soviet aircraft designer renowned for the “La” series of aircraft. The most famous among them, the LaGG-3, La-5, and La-7, served many aces of the Second World War well. After the war, Lavochkin headed OKB-301, which, in addition to aircraft, participated in developing missiles for the S-25 “Berkut” surface-to-air missile system. Following Lavochkin’s death in 1960, the design bureau was named after him and gained renown for spacecraft such as the Luna, Venera, Mars, and Vega missions, among others. It remains in operation to this day.
