Seeing new jets has been on everyone’s wishlist from day one! I’m super excited to finally present the first step in this journey! Starting today, you can take a ride in the legendary MiG-21 Fishbed. Armed with heatseekers and a deadly gun, this dogfighter comes with amazing speed capabilities. This new fighter is also the first in a whole new aircraft class called “Light Fighter” aircraft. Designed for quick intercepts and hit-and-runs, this aircraft can quickly turn the match in the right direction if flown by a skilled pilot!
This patch also brings a new game mode, the Time Race! This is a racing mode, in which you can compete asynchronously against other players on the global leaderboard. Currently, there is only one race track available, but if you guys like it, we’ll be sure to get some more in there!
In Time Race, your aircraft will not evade any mountains by itself, and you will be flying extremely low. This means you’ll need make tight turns and perform well-timed maneuvers to not hit the mountains!
To tie things together, to unlock the new aircraft, you’ll need to finish the race track in 1 minute and 25 seconds! I’m sure that won’t be a problem for you though, captain!
Finally, there has been some smaller additions, like different outside-screen markers for different kinds of aircraft.
See you on the runway, friends!
Cheers!
