Attention! This news was published on the old version of the website. There may be some problems with news display in specific browser versions.


From May the 1st until May the 6th we have a qualifying 4v4 tournament running and the best 300 players in each mode will be able to participate in the first automated 1v1 tournament in the history of flight simulators!

This event is devoted to Victory in Europe Day, so the best pilots will honour the memory of heroes and show their skill flying the legendary aircraft of the allies: the formidable British  Spitfire F.Mk IX, the vigorous Soviet Yak-1B and the powerful American P-39N-0.

Duels with identical aircraft are one of the most complicated and prestige types of air battles. You can only rely only on your own skill, will and concentration while your rival is also alone and flying the same aircraft.

2nd Place: Weapons of Victory - Ray Wetmore's P-51D-10 Daddy's Girl
3rd Place: Weapons of Victory - Pavel Golovachev's Yak-9M
1-10 Place: 1945 Golden Eagles
