P-38L Lightning: Start Your Engines

Game Events Discuss on Forum

Pilots!

Update 2.1.14 introduces a new aircraft, the P-38L Lightning!

This is an experimental configuration of the valiant P-38 that has noticeably increased ground attack capabilities due to additional HVAR rockets. Also, the Lightning has increased potential in aerial combat thanks to three 15 mm machine guns that allow it to engage enemies from further afield.

From July 4 (04:20 PT / 07:20 ET) to August 1 (04:20 PT / 07:20 ET), complete a chain of 25 missions to receive the P-38L Lightning and a decoration set (paint scheme, nose art, emblem) for your new warbird!
