Pilots!

From May 8 to June 8, join the Shining Sword event to get a brand-new bomber, the  Avro Lancaster B Mk. III!

General Information

The Shining Sword event will run from May 8 to June 8. The event will be divided into four stages, with each stage containing two identical phases that will require you to fight in several battle modes: Bomber Escort, Invasion, Conquest, and Attrition.

First phase of each stage: from Thursday 17:00 PT / 20:00 ET through Friday 23:00 PT / Saturday 02:00 ET.

Second phase of each stage: from Saturday 17:00 PT / 20:00 ET through Sunday 23:00 PT / Monday 02:00 ET.

Only Tier IV–X aircraft can take part in the event.

Note: Daily missions can only be completed in the Conquest mode.

Missions

During each phase, you will be offered:

  • Three personal missions for each aircraft type: For completing them, you'll earn gold and our special supply crates.
  • One global mission for all players: Completing this mission will double the number of supply crates you've earned for carrying out the personal missions.

Supply crates will only double for players who have made some contribution to the global mission progress.

Personal and global mission progress will reset after each phase is complete.
