this is horrible. why are we having a tournament that few people will play and have the Russian spitfire become available??? This is painfully obvious that this is a calculated Cash grab as you know people are trying to grind the la174 so in order to make quick money you are making this plane avaible for an outrageous price mind you. really? 8000 eagles? this is supposed to celebrate the spitfire and the BoB, why are we not giving away a special premium early spitfire? what a shame.
How can it cost 8k? I just bought it for 6
Price was established when we implement this aircraft in the game years ago. We did it on purpose years ago so we can use it now? Really? Great story, call X-files. Plenty of players are unlocking La-174 without using Premium Aircraft. You were able to unlock it for free some time ago. BoB event was announced in separate article.
BoB anniversary and Soviet Spitfire? Are you kidding me? Shame...
BoB will be a separate special
Senio, I hope so.. :(
I got to see the video months ago in the earlier stage and it looks even better now, big up Tunerovsky
As a reward we will not send him to Siberia! The video is truly stunning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiNAy0qhop8 by 'the video' I guess you mean this one right?
For the anniversary of the Battle of Britain we give away Str0nk USSR Spitfire! )))) xaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa
grabbing that asap!
The Battle of Britain is a separate event. This is specifically a feature on Spitfires.
I get exciting tournaments and all, but why 15k SL entry fee for a match? There are no ***REAL*** rewards involved, so why not just have an event without "losses" involved for once?
Tournaments are challenges not a simple cakewalk. If you don't like it don't play it.
HerrFockeWulf, How is this in any way a tournament ? It is more akin to the "Deathmatch" mode in most FPS.
Can we just for once maybe get an early spitfire from a famous BoB ace or a movie such as BoB? Even just a reskinned but official MkI or MkIIa? No? Okay I'll just go to gulag and not make any more suggestions, but have it known that I will escape over and over like Steve McQueen and return to my duty.
That's funny stuff right there!
Now I can hit 2 birds with one stone! (USSR spitfire and La-174)
First to destroy 8 enemies? Mk 24 pilots going to have a field day. Nice to see the ussr spit makes a return for those that want it!
How long is the Russian spitfire available for?
"to September 18th 07:00 GMT"
Sorry I should of looked at the tournament dates...
Does the russian Spitfire still have the 150 octan and high engine settings despite the bug reports? If yes, I won't buy it and support the broken premium stuff.
The video is very nice btw.
russian spitfire is same as american or british premium Plagis', visually it has model of the F mk.IXc, same is also armament(2x20+4x7,7), but powerplant and performance is that of LF mk.IXe, same BR 5.7(AB). what to say.. it climbs like no tomorrow :)
