Moments of Valor: France

The Great French Revolution shook the entire world, and one of the first and most important events of that time was the storming of the Bastille prison-fortress on July 14th, 1789. This date was not celebrated for almost a hundred years until 1880, when July 14th became a National Holiday. For this day, a large military parade was introduced in 1880, then transferred to the Champs-Élysées in 1980.

In honor of Bastille Day, we’ve created a Moments of Valor video dedicated to France, and there are discounts on rare vehicles and packs in the store, and a themed decal!

  • The Milan is a solid multi-role fighter. Thanks to its large payload and impressive performance characteristics, it’s usually best used for ground attack. It’s no slouch against air targets either, thanks to its good performance and ability to use AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles.
  • The S.O.4050 Vautour IIN features AA-20 Nord air-to-air missiles, which can be tricky to hit air targets with. Therefore, it’s best to use this aircraft to destroy enemy bases and ground vehicles, since it can carry up to 4,400 kg of ordnance.
