Update 2.1.7 introduces the brand-new aircraft – Boeing B-29C Superfortress!
This modification of the legendary strategic B-29C Superfortress bomber inherits the characteristic features of the previous representatives of the US bomber aviation and will become a worthy representative of this aircraft class. The Superfortress is equipped with more powerful engines than previous models, which allows you to control the battlefield more effectively. The warplane's specialization is carpet bombing. The combat load is forty 500 lb bombs, placed in two bomb doors, that is enough for two salvos. Improved defensive armament allows you to effectively repel enemy attacks with less risk to the crew.
From July 2 (04:20 PT / 07:20 ET) to August 2 (04:20 PT / 07:20 ET), complete the chain of 30 missions to receive not only the Boeing B-29C Superfortress, but also the decorations set (paint scheme, nose art, emblem) for your new aircraft!
