🚁About this helicopter
▪️The Mi-24D is one of the fastest helicopters in the game. Its armor can withstand small-caliber weapons fire, and its machine gun can deal with lightly armored opponents. But its main advantage is its wide selection of secondary weapons. From gun pods, free-falling bombs to missiles and rockets. The S-24 rockets and Falanga ATGM with up to 650 mm armor penetration are particularly good to use!

Also until September 23rd (07:00 GMT), there’s a 30% discount for the Mi-24P HFS80 (Germany) and Mi-24P (Italy), for 6,111 Golden Eagles each. Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to try out the legendary Soviet helicopter in the research trees of other countries!

🛍Discount on the Yak-38 for the Anniversary of its First Flight!

The Yak-38 was the first Soviet vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft and first hovered in the air for the first time during testing on September 22nd 1970. This aircraft was built for service on the Project 1143 heavy aircraft carrier, and first landed on this type of ship in 1975. The Yak-38 was fully introduced and operated in only 1977, 231 Yak-38s were produced by 1989, and the aircraft was decommissioned in 2004.

The Yak-38 has a 30% discount!
The premium Yak-38 can be purchased at a 30% discount for 6,237 Golden Eagles.

When: From today until September 23rd (07:00 GMT).
Where: USSR > Aviation > Premium vehicles.

About this aircraft
✈️The Yak-38 is suitable for attacking any sort of targets, both on the ground, in the air and even at sea. The ability to take off and land vertically allows it to improvise, playing like a helicopter while it picks up maximum speed extremely quickly. This aircraft has access to many secondary weapons, and thanks to a ballistic computer, aiming at ground targets with bombs and rockets is easy to do.

🔼Following the Roadmap: Vehicle Research Bonuses

Today, we’re ready to present to you the final version of the Vehicle Research Bonuses, which has just gone live today! For those of you who participated in the recent testing, the following changes have been made since then:

▪️The number of battles with a bonus has increased from 3 to 5;
▪️A 25% bonus has been added to ranks I-III;
▪️While a vehicle is considered new, the bonus does not apply to it;
▪️The bonus will stay active for all remaining vehicles in a tree even if you have the top vehicle unlocked;
▪️The bonus now applies to the top vehicle in each nation as well. Due to this we’ve dropped “new nations” in the name of the bonus. It has instead been renamed to Vehicle Research Bonuses.

If you didn’t participate in the recent testing or would like a recap, this article explains how research bonuses will work after the changes made from your testing and your feedback.

Today, we’ll be going over the bug fixes and improvements that we’ve made to the game over the past 2 weeks. Let’s take a look!

You can find the full list of improvements in separate changelogs! Here’s some more: the J-10A received an additional 800 liter drop-tank, which doesn’t replace missiles, the sounds of fires no longer resemble engine sounds, and the aircraft available for research now again display the button for selecting secondary weapons for a test flight.

Where: Germany > Aviation / Army > Premium vehicles.

▪️The Sea Hawk Mk.100 for Germany is a capable of firing air-to-air missiles and use its effective 20 mm cannons in air battles. For ground battles, it’s also a great attack aircraft thanks to its range of bombs and rockets available.
