Finland declared its independence in December 1917 and shortly after on March 6th 1918, the country’s Air Force was formed. The Finnish Air Force showed itself especially well during the two Soviet-Finnish wars. The number of downed Soviet aircraft was an order of magnitude higher than Finnish air losses. As a result of a peace treaty, Finland significantly reduced its Air Force after the war, however it began to build it up again in 1990. Currently, the Finnish Air Force has 60 multi-role American F/A-18 aircraft and another 64 F-35 Lightning II are to join them.

Interesting to see a new form of dishing out premiums; I’d have to assume it’s because you can buy the whole pack at a massive 50% discount and get vehicles to grind through the whole tech tree?
Thats a pretty good pack. Pyörremyrsky is quite nice prop fighter along with the Bf 109.
And the J35XS is a very good bnz aircraft, limited countermeasures but nice quantity of AA missiles.
So if we already have one of the planes (Pyorremyrsky) we lose out on the Golden Eagles for that aircraft as well? The total price would be $45 then right? I know it is early for math.
Well the whole Finnish sub tree for 65 bucks. Not going to buy as Bf-109 looks like the profit factor for Gaijin and is a completely copy pasted vehicle.
Still a nice deal considering the now reduced BR of J35 and the best of the tree Pyorremyrsky
The 109 G-6 in the bundle is valued incorrectly at 32.21. AFAIK it has never been available as a pack but comparable packs as the Mustang pack is valued at 29.99 with 2000 GE and 15 days of premium.
Please adjust it’s price to where it should be. If you add 2000 GE and 15 days of premium to it, then it should be valued at 29.99 (-50 %).
I refrained from purchasing the pack and have also refrained from marketing the bundle in Finnish virtual pilot groups due to this issue. Also the fact that it has MW-50 which Finnish G-6 never had affects the latter (just something I’d just warn about).
