The festive winter 2.1.1 update introduces new vehicles, aircraft balance changes, a marathon for the new Soviet multirole fighter, and, of course, New Year specials with a whole lot of surprises and gifts.

New Special Reward Aircraft:

• The Supermarine Spitfire Vb U.K. fighter. The aircraft is equipped with powerful machine guns and autocannons, and can boast decent maneuverability, boost, and speed;
• Beaufighter V — a British Tier V heavy fighter. Equipped with two 20-mm guns and a turret. In general, it is a light version of the regular heavy fighter;
• I-21 — a Soviet Tier V lightweight fighter. The aircraft’s performance is optimized for Tier V — reduced maximum dive speed, cruise speed slightly decreased, the guns’ characteristics in the “Specialist” configuration are similar to those in Stock configuration. The aircraft has a unique feature — five slots for equipment and five slots for consumables.

Winter Marathon for the Yak-7 M-82

Update 2.1.1 also brings the opportunity to land the Soviet Tier V Yak-7 M-82 multirole fighter in your Hangar. You can get this legendary Yak-7 modification with an air-cooled engine by completing chains of missions that will soon appear in the game client and will be available for all players. In addition, you can purchase this aircraft and all the missions’ rewards in the Premium Shop, where a special bundle with a new warbird will appear soon.
