Bullet Hell: The Old Fashioned Way!
Pilots with a bunch of fancy missiles. Without them, what are you? You’ll have the chance to find out in the new Bullet Hell event, a team deathmatch style mode where you fight in toptier jets with just cannons. No missiles allowed!
Take part in this two-day event and show what you’re worth when just using aircraft guns.
When: November 19th (11:00 GMT) until November 21st (11:00 GMT).
Where: Events and Tournaments -> Bullet Hell.
How does Bullet Hell work?
Bullet Hell pits two teams of eight against each other in modern jet aircraft with just cannons as weaponry. The first team to destroy 20 enemy aircraft wins!
Event Features
- All secondary weapons that you bring into a battle (except for cannons) will be automatically discarded when you spawn in. External fuel tanks can be used in battle in a loadout consisting of them alone or with them and cannons.
- Each pilot has 3 respawns available.
- Any aircraft with a Battle Rating from 12.7 to 14.3 can participate.
- Battles take place in Realistic mode with markers.
- You can replenish fuel and ammunition at the spawn point.
- Spawning with a vehicle requires Silver Lions, which are returned at the end of the battle if your aircraft wasn’t destroyed. The number of Silver Lions returned depends on the vehicle’s condition.
- You can earn research points and Silver Lions in battles in this event.

Comments will be premoderatedthis mode should be perma, everyones loving it
This has to come back at least once a month, if not every week-end or so. It's such a nice change of pace that takes minimal effort to maintain while also being a test of skill that rewards players who actually played early and mid jets instead of those who skipped to the top with money.
Please consider extending this for the rest of the week. The feedback has been nothing but positive. Both on here, YouTube and on Reddit. It’s the best thing since sliced bread if you ask me. Haven’t had this much fun playing for many years.
Do I need to have an aircraft researched to use it or is there a lineup in the event we can choose?
You need to have your won aircraft.
Stona_WT, Hard won for sure
Finally, been wishing for this for years!
