The Year of the Horse is approaching, and to celebrate, we’re offering you a true workhorse of Western air forces: the ever-popular F-16A fighter in its Dutch configuration. And along with it, the emblems of two Royal Netherlands Air Force squadrons flying the F-16A. 322 Squadron traces its history back to the Second World War, when it flew with the Royal Air Force. In the 1980s, both squadrons received their F-16As and remain loyal to them to this day!

The F-16A Block 5 is an early variant of the renowned American jet fighter, produced in the Netherlands, among other countries. It is a fast, maneuverable aircraft with an excellent rate of climb. The Dutch F-16A is armed with a 20 mm Vulcan cannon and guided missiles for close-range air-to-air combat. For anti-ground engagements, it can carry both unguided ordnance and AGM-65B Maverick air-to-ground missiles.

Among the rewards in the event is also this chest. When opened, there is a chance to receive one of the following items:

• 50,000 - 100,000 Silver Lions
• Silver Lion and Research Point boosters
• Random Wagers and Orders
• Universal Backups (1 - 3)
• A random camouflage for a vehicle you own
• 1 day of Premium Account

How to get all rewards

Each stage can be achieved for 45,000 mission points, every new stage achieved will give you a new reward.

You’re able to earn mission points in Air Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.

You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.

Rewards are given when you complete a specific number of stages

• For 1 Stage: trophy with a random reward
• For 2 Stages: one of the decal rewards
• For 3 Stages: “Horseshoe Pouch” silver chest
• For 4 Stages: one of the decal rewards
• For 5 Stages: trophy with a random reward
• For 6 Stages: “Horseshoe Pouch” silver chest
• For 7 Stages: F-16A loading screen
• For 8 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the F-16A
• For 9 Stages: a unique camouflage and 4 random modifications for the F-16A

Discounts for purchasing stages using Golden Eagles

Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re very close to completing a stage, its price will be significantly reduced.

Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 39,000 mission points, then the price to unlock this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 43,000 mission points, then you’ll only need 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!

The Upgrade for a coupon

When you complete 8 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the F-16A, using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.

After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until 11:00 GMT on March 13th. Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.

Tracking your progress

You can track the progress of completing stages and the “Upgrade for coupon” item by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Workhorse. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, you can do so with Golden Eagles until March 13th from the Achievements window, which will give you the corresponding rewards.
