If it’s Defender of the Fatherland, why is it Russian vehicles coming back?

Cool dude and you were demanding them as if they were available previously. For a tournament that isn’t very large in the first place.

Hey I registered for Duel Air RB 1v1 and I will face F-15 F-16 Mig-29 in my Mirage F1??

What the point? French Bashing? There is a Huge gap between those!

Afraid by Mirage 2000 in 1v1?

The 23rd of February was made a holiday celebrating the founding of the Red Army in the USSR and continues to be a holiday dedicated to the armed forces in certain former Soviet republics.

@Stona_WT why are some countries in the tournament air jet RB getting access to BR 12.7 vehicles while others are locked to BR 11.3 even though they have higher BR vehicles in their trees?
same with Ground RB, some of the available choices seems very unfair.

I’d be more concerned the prop tournament for the defending-of-the-USSR celebration only allows you to fly Bf. 109s, but that’s just me.

Like idk… Check wiki at least? What rewards were you waiting for? Maus return?

25

well that’s actually balanced at least. i would rather see equal planes fight because then its more about player skill. but to have to fight F-16C , F-15A , MIG-29SMT and SU-27 in my JA37D is really not fair in the slightest.
its like 1.4 BR higher…
Edit:
in Ground 1v1 RB its the other way around, i get a BR 7.7 against mostly BR 5.3 and a few BR 6.3?
