Premium versions of researchable aircraft

Major update 1.21 "South Wind" introduces the long-awaited feature to upgrade** researchable aircraft to premium versions for Golden Eagles. After the upgrade, the aircraft in the research tree will be replaced with its premium version (similar to the Ships Campaign).

Advantages of premium vehicles:

  • Maximum level – all modifications are unlocked and available from the start;
  • Golden Eagle earnings – awarded for battles in premium vehicles (with a daily limit for each vehicle);
  • Unique camouflages – special premium paint schemes.

**The aircraft upgrade option is launching in a test mode. During the initial period, some aircraft may temporarily not have their premium camouflage available, may have a limited selection of weapons in the Arsenal, or may lack the upgrade button. The functionality will be fully refined during the season.

Upgrade your researched aircraft to premium versions and experience a new level of combat performance!
