🚁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!

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.

At 22, he became a captain, at 23, a major, and at 24 for his heroism in the Battle of Leyte, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

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!
If you’ve found a bug that you’d like to report, you can do so on our community bug reporting platform.
You can find the full list of improvements in separate changelogs!
