Operation W.I.N.T.E.R. is now live!
Just for additional clarification, much like the F-4F, a later modification of the MiG-23 will be added to the German tree in a future update.
Why do you limit event vehicles from taking part in this event? thats just dumb
nvm, I read it wrong
In the words of the late Flip Wilson: Here come da lag, here come da lag. Ya betta watch out cause here come da lag!
why is germany getting yet another top tier event vehicle.
Why are you crying, only Sweden, Italy and Japan have fewer Rank 6 - 7
italian seaplane?
Fairly sure the MiG-23MF should've been in the tech tree, just like the MiG-21MF.
Will this event be before or after the Winged Lions update?
Is the tech tree MiG-23 for Germany coming this upcoming major update, or later
Oh, lawdy! Here we go, gents! Gotta catch 'em all!
it is kinda stupid and it excludes new players liek the event is fine. the exclusively rank 3 and above except for event vehicles is a major downer for any incomming players.
We have got event like that every few months. If you are new and start from zero now, you still have time to unlock rank 3 vehicles before event starts.
You can unlock Rank 3 planes for sweden in a single day.
Rank 1 and 2 event vehicles count for specific challenges? Finally. Hopefully same can be done for the low tier premiums too, it's a pretty good way to incentivize people to get them and makes a lot of them way more useful. Would love to derp around in the Ki-44 with the 40mms or the flying boats (besides the Be-6) and still get challenges done and I would bet a lot of people would buy stuff like the XP-55 if it were practical to play for events. Either way this will be very welcome.
