Aircraft
Update 2.1.12 introduces a brand-new reward aircraft:
It's the iconic Spitfire, modified for battles on low altitudes. Featuring enhanced maneuverability and speed, this warplane can effectively engage enemy fighters and protect friendly attack aircraft and ground objects.
To earn it, you'll have to take part in the marathon for the Supermarine Spitfire XVI.

February will bring a new event to World of Warplanes. Complete marathon missions to get multiple prizes, including days of Premium Account, Steel Supply Crates, tokens, and much more. The main reward is the Supermarine Spitfire XVI, a British Premium fighter.
