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!
- Vehicles available to the US team are: P-47D-22-RE, P-47D-25, P-47D-28, P-51D-5, P-51D-10, P-51D-20-NA, YP-38, XP-38G, P-38E, P-38G-1, B-17E/L, B-17G-60-VE.
- Vehicles available to the German team are: Bf 109 G-6, Bf 109 G-14, Bf 109 G-10, Bf 109 Z-1, Fw 190 A-5, Fw 190 A-5/U12, Fw 190 A-8, Fw 190 C, Fw 190 F-8, BV 155 B-1, Me 410 A-1/U2, Me 410 B-1/U2, Me 410 A-1/U4, Me 410 B-2/U4.

Comments will be premoderatedThis was by far one of my most favorite events you’ve put out! Glad to see it back! Would love to see this as a game mode!
please, make events like these constant
Great to see this event finally make a return. Can I ask why historical battles were binned and never returned? Battle of Britain, Iwo Jima etc.
I hope we see more events like this. Such as one related to the pacific.
looks amazing! I would really want to see it as a game mode. real historical battles based on a certain theme
Ya know.... If you did a British night bomber version of this event, the game would finally have a use for all those radar night fighters and interceptors equipped with Schräge Musik.
This is obviously inspired by Masters of the Air TV show, in the show the B-17s are attacked by Ju-88s, yet they are missing from the German lineup of this event...
Frenzier, Guardian Angel event was created years ago, before anyone had heard of that new TV Series :)
Frenzier, You might be surprised to find out that this is based on something called "USAAF daylight bombing raids" which predates that TV show by a bit
Reminds me of flight/fight of the swallows. When p-51s would defend b-17s against me-262s…good days
Could we get a full permanent gamemode like this at all BRs? I think that could justify the addition of some really cool strategic bombers like the B-1, B-52, TU-160, etc.
Hell yeah! Love seeing these kinds of events back. They should be more frequent!
