Attrition Game Mode
Attrition is a game mode for dogfighting fans! The goal of a team is to deprive the enemy of resources by destroying their aircraft. Each destroyed aircraft deprives the enemy of one resource. By capturing sectors, players can increase the value of each enemy aircraft destroyed. Two sectors under the team's control double the number of resources lost by the enemy, three sectors—triple, and so on.
Player Rating
From July 20 to August 6, players will be able to test their aerial combat skills in the Attrition game mode. The mode will be available on weekends from 17:00 UTC Friday till 01:00 UTC Monday (NA from 01:00 UTC Sat till 19:00 UTC Mon). On other days, the main game mode "Conquest" will remain active. Earning personal points for effective actions in battle while flying Tier IV or higher aircraft will place players in special rating.
