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 premoderatedgermnay cant win thats a bullshit game mode ... the bombers cant die
Ah yes, running an air event during a main tank event. Makes sense. Not like running this during the plane grind event would have made more sense or anything. Conflicting events.
Are there any cool rewards for this event?
Sadly no reward and no time cause there is an ongoing event right now. Please plan these side events for times when there is nothing major going on. Would really love to play that mode again.
Are there any rewards? Profile icons, decals, skins?
Brilliant event. Please add the P-38K :)
Cool. Will this be a good time to spade my B17s? Normally my success rate is minimal..
I just flew in this event and my bullets did no damage at close range, they just vanished in the air.
qpranger, Kill issue?.......Sorry, Skill issue I meant..
RAHHHH LET'S GO! This is why I started playing War Thunder, after years I can finally fulfill my dream. Thank you Gaijin. Hail the Snail!
Sounds like fun, i'll give it a spin
