War Thunder background
Take part in the Guardian Angel Event for Air Realistic Battles!

Not all fighting in World War II took place at the front lines. Allied aircraft carried out risky missions over German territory in order to destroy factories that were producing enemy armored vehicles.

Much has been dedicated to the heroism of bomber pilots and the fighters covering them — and we want to honor them in our aircraft event too.

When: February 9th (13:00 GMT) until February 12th (13:00 GMT) take part in the Guardian Angel event!

This event takes place exclusively in Air Realistic Battles. The US team has bombers and escorts whose objective is to destroy targets and provide bomber cover. The German team must intercept these bombers and prevent them from destroying their targets!
