Gaijin Entertainment together with our official partners - Mad Catz, announces the start of the “Gladiators” duel championship with a prize fund of more than 200,000 Golden Eagles! The Tournament is available in the “Events and Tournaments” section in the game.

What is “Gladiators”?

Gladiators is a team duel match, which incorporates practically all formats of air battles:

1st round - duel: one vs one
2nd round - air battle pairs: two vs two
3rd round - final air battle as a squad: four vs four.

Especially for this tournament, a new mission has been developed - the “Gladiators 4x4”, where all three air battles are started one after the other. The following score system is used for the different rounds:

1st round = 1 point
2nd round = 2 points
3rd round = 3 points

In case of a draw after 3 rounds, an additional 4th round will be played in the format of four vs four.

The following aircraft will be available at all times for this mission:
