New Premium Aircraft in Update 1.6

Compared to the stock tier VII Fw.190 D, this Premium aircraft features vastly superior firepower thanks to the additional 13.2mm and 30mm cannons. Another advantage that this Premium variant has over the regular version is superior maneuverability. While this Premium will never be among the most nimble dogfighters out there, it does reduce its average time to turn by up to 3.5 seconds, which will come in handy for players who play a hybrid Boom n Zoom and Turn n Burn style.

This unique American heavy fighter differentiates itself from its competition through an amazing rate of climb that is unrivalled by any other plane of its tier. This warbird has no trouble reaching the highest altitudes, flying far above its enemies and picking apart its prey. Once the XP-75 has its sights set on an enemy target, it benefits greatly by having one of the fastest diving speeds, making this aircraft ideal for Boom & Zoom tactics where it can descend on opponents out of nowhere and quickly return back above the clouds. The Eagle lacks in hull durability and firepower, but what it lacks in punch it makes up for in speed, as almost no other warplane can keep up with it on the battlespace.

You could have already won this Premium British fighter during our Meteor Madness. Now, with Update 1.6, it becomes available to everybody as a Premium contender. This warbird constituted the first real jet-engine aircraft of the Allies during WWII, which is reflected in game through the plane’s characteristics. The Meteor has above-average speed across the board in all speed categories and features a good rate of climb – usually only found on heavy fighters. While it is somewhat limited in terms of firepower with its 20mm cannons, the aircraft proves to be a natural talent hunting down all types of plane classes due to its versatile profile -- set arguably between a slow flying jet fighter and medium-armoured heavy. 

This experimental Japanese fighter might remind you a lot of the American P-38 “Lightning”, except for the fact that its propeller is mounted at the rear of the cockpit. As such, it is a unique aircraft to behold. Compared to the J7W1, the Senden features a higher velocity and considerably higher optimum altitude, which is unreached in the Japanese Tech Tree – even by tier X jets. In direct comparison to the same-tier A7M, the J4M Senden boasts significantly stronger firepower, thanks to a pre-mounted 30mm cannon, as well as better durability and speed. With characteristics like this, one can safely say that the J4M Senden is as close as the Japanese tech tree gets (for now) to having a true heavy fighter.
