On March 6th 1913, Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin was born. He was one of the most successful aces of the Second World war. His “thunderstorm formula” became a classic of aerial combat: “Altitude, speed, maneuver, fire!” Pokryshkin participated in 150 air battles and shot down approximately 50-60 enemy aircraft, for which he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union three times.

About this aircraft
Pokryshkin in his P-39N-0 (rank III) achieved a significant portion of his aerial victories in 1943 in the P-39N-0 Airacobra. The aircraft’s dive speed, climb rate, and maneuverability, as well as its powerful 37 mm cannon perfectly matched the ace’s winning formula. Try to replicate it!
usually they rotate the events for certain planes each year. so maybe next year or in 2 years we might ahve something for the first spitfire flight but not alexanders birthday
honestly i dont even know why they removed it but i hope they bring that back for some occation. usually you cant really tell before hand so its at Gaijins mercy what comes and what doesnt come
I didn’t test in game, but Pokryshkin’s Cobra should have no option to separate firing the 37mm canon and the machine guns. Pokryshkin told his mechanician to bind the two on a single trigger.
