Why can't there be special events for rank 2..?
Agreed, all my favourite vehicles are at rank 2
They might have set rank III as minimum requirements to reduce seal clubbing. Tasks/events are easier and faster when you are fighting green players.
All answers (2)Hammmster, Yea I remember a while ago when there's no tier restrictions... everyone flooded the br1.0 matches because that's the easiest to influence the outcome but it's probably not a good experience for those just joining the game
I kinda hoped they were going to say that you can get the Famous Po-2 witch is 2-oP for new players.
Don't worry! There will be other chances to obtain this mythical aircraft!
All answers (1)Thulle_, Will we be able to obtain the TB-3 again someday?
"witch" I see what you did there ;)
Waiting for 1.71 devblogs)))
Soon!
Thulle_, *Soon™

Ehe no discount?.. Admin plz ask Devs why "Allowed Vehicles" feature is not given to CDK users for multiplayer missions. If I can decide which vehicles can be used in a multiplayer mission then I can make good maps with CDK. It is a simple feature, why not implemented yet? I could make that Yak-15 useful in a mission if I could restrict opponent vehicle types. Have fun.
You actually can
All answers (3)HerrFockeWulf, No, you can't for Multiplayer mission Yes, you can for Singleplayer mission
Today's also exactly a year, since the introduction of Naval Forces (starter packs) 11.08.2016 ~ 11.08.2017
You're wrong, it was August 12, 2016
All answers (2)Gipsy_Danger_00, My purchase history says otherwise. So unless i bought it a day before release, then you're the one who's wrong here.
Wow, again no bonuses or discounts. This year's events make me sad so far (especially the rising prices for things in the events).
Cannot please everyone. I bet some russian AF vets/history afficionates are going to love those decals.
Hammmster, Flags are political signifiers, so someone is always going to get into a lather about it.
price is higher but number of task this year is lower [20vs15 [18vs13]] and goals are the same for all days
This is monumentally bad history Gaijin. Russia is not the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the USSR is not Russia. The Russian Air Force can trace its lineage and traditions back to the Imperial Russian Air Service (1912–1917) and the Soviet Air Forces (1918–1991). The Russian Air Force is only 26 years old. It's like stating that you're 117 years old because your grandfather was born in 1900. The oldest air force in the world is the RAF (1918).
You're clueless. Let's say that all other countries leave UK and England remains alone. Those which decided to leave lose their right by international laws to be called a successors of UK. England becomes a legal successor of UK. All those institutions that worked in England for decades while it was a part of UK before the break up and which were British are now English because England became a legal owner, a successor of UK. Russia became a successor of USSR.
All answers (1)PRC_MILOJKA, Comprehension is not your forte is it. Britain and England (English) are the same country. Whether Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland leave the United Kingdom is immaterial because the Royal Air Force came into being by royal assent, The Queen of England (Britain) is the Queen of the UK. Russia and USSR are not the same country. USSR = Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Moldavia, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan,Tajikistan, Armenia,Turkmenistan, Estonia.
Why get worked up about it? The Russians were pretty dominant in the USSR and the Russian Republic was the glue that held the whole thing together. The people in current Russia have a diversity of opinions about various aspects of the USSR, the Czarist Empire and the direction being taken by the current government. Russia and the USSR are not exactly the same, but neither are they separate.
I missed the VDV event because there are no annoucement on international servers :(
