Aircraft for air pirate
The more rivals shot down or destroyed with your help, the more powerful aircraft you can get from the captain.
Nimble.
Such an aircraft is given to every new pilot in the Air Pirates. Do you want something more serious? Load the machine gun and shoot down the enemies of the clan!
How to get it? Beginner's plane - available for everyone

Hmmm, this one is better indeed! The Windscreech is noticeably faster, although it still lacks firepower.
How to get it? 15 players defeated and assisted.
Bumblebee.
The favorite fighter of the Stalinia boar pilots is now in the hands of the Air Pirates. Six machine guns, bombs and rockets are where the fun begins!

You can’t have TOO many guns, any pirate would agree! This triplane carries 8 machine guns, as well as bombs and rockets for striking ground targets.

This is a real flying fortress with defensive turrets and the most powerful six-barreled Golden Dragon cannons.
