"Dear Players, We apologize for the inconvenience during today's Golden Battles. The number of our players is growing and our servers were not prepared for so many wishing to participate in the action, we were preparing for it as a stress test. Despite the fact that Fights were successful in the morning and the evening session, it is the number of those wishing to join the action that the server could not fully handle."

Ground Attack Tactics Part 1 - Level Bombing

The idea of using an aircraft to attack ground forces had actually already been put into practice years before even the outbreak of the First World War. However, it was in the war torn skies of Europe between 1914 and 1918 that great advances in the science of bombing would take place. The First World War saw the use of both tactical and strategic bombing. Whilst air power theorists still argue over the exact definition, in broad terms tactical bombing is the direct attack of enemy units whereas strategic bombing is designed to attack the enemy’s industry, infrastructure and ability to wage war.

Special
Nikolay Gulaev - the best sniper pilot

The whole story of Gulaev appears to be a sequence of remarkable deeds. For instance, on May 14th 1943 he engaged 3 Ju.87 bombers covered by 4 Bf.109 fighters. After shooting two Stukas down and depleting the ammunition Gulaev rammed and destroyed the third one, managing to land his own aircraft near an allied unit’s position.
