Not all fighting in World War II took place at the front lines. Allied aircraft carried out risky missions over German territory in order to destroy factories that were producing enemy armored vehicles.
Much has been dedicated to the heroism of bomber pilots and the fighters covering them — and we want to honor them in our aircraft event too.
When: February 9th (13:00 GMT) until February 12th (13:00 GMT) take part in the Guardian Angel event!
This event takes place exclusively in Air Realistic Battles. The US team has bombers and escorts whose objective is to destroy targets and provide bomber cover. The German team must intercept these bombers and prevent them from destroying their targets!
Vehicles available to the US team are: P-47D-22-RE, P-47D-25, P-47D-28, P-51D-5, P-51D-10, P-51D-20-NA, YP-38, XP-38G, P-38E, P-38G-1, B-17E/L, B-17G-60-VE.
Vehicles available to the German team are: Bf 109 G-6, Bf 109 G-14, Bf 109 G-10, Bf 109 Z-1, Fw 190 A-5, Fw 190 A-5/U12, Fw 190 A-8, Fw 190 C, Fw 190 F-8, BV 155 B-1, Me 410 A-1/U2, Me 410 B-1/U2, Me 410 A-1/U4, Me 410 B-2/U4.
Want to participate? You can find the Guardian Angel event in Air Realistic Battles through the Events & Tournaments tab in-game.
I like the concept and always like trying out new things like this alongside seeing gaijin test new things and modes but why run this during a ground only event?
I don’t have timeeeee
´>be me, Gaijin
´>run a very time consuming event for Obj292
´>make it ground based only
´>release a niche air based event in the middle of it
´>nobody plays it because everyone is bussy grinding Obj292
´>See guys? We try to test new modes, but nobody is ever interested.
Every single time. Why is Gaijin like this?
Was just about to comment this. Why not put this event during the next vehicles grind event which we know is a plane event. Or even during a 2-3 day break between events.
I have played a few games so far. Crushing Axis victory every time, except when 2-3 bombers leak through and win anyway.
The spawns and lineups are very axis biased. Axis planes generally climb far better and perform better at the medium altitude that the bombers are flying at. Why are bombers flying at 5km altitude instead of their historical altitude? Why don’t the allies spawn a little higher? On that note, why is the top Axis fighter a BF-109G-10 while the top allied fighter is arguably the P-51D-10 (a rare premium)?
Why do allied bomber players spawn so far out of the bomber formation?
Why don’t the bombers eventually burn down? I’ve seen B-17s on fire for several minutes.
Why can players bring squadmates with biplanes? Seriously there was a P-26 in my 2nd game.
This is a good idea for an actual mode if it were made semi-permanent, to give high alt fighters and bomber players something that caters more to them.
