Aircraft Campaign Changes Announcement
Upcoming changes to rocket-powered aircraft mechanics and balance adjustments.
Dear Pilots! With the start of the next seasonal update (May 14th, 2026, 10:00 GMT), important changes will be introduced to the game, affecting the mechanics of rocket engines and the battle ranks of several aircraft.
Rocket Engine Mechanics Changes
A fuel quantity limit for rocket engines (liquid-fuel rockets) is being introduced – the use of the rocket engine will be limited in time.
This change applies to the following aircraft:
- Me 163 B;
- BI;
- Me 262 C-2b.
The active use of rocket engines is limited in time: the BI will have approximately 2 minutes, while the Me 163 B and Me 262 C-2b will have about 3 minutes.
After the engine fuel is depleted, the aircraft will not be automatically destroyed. The pilot will be forced to switch to gliding mode or may change the selected aircraft (or re-spawn in the same aircraft using a backup).
Throttle control allows for proportional fuel consumption management. With proper calculation of the fuel supply, the total time in the air can reach 5–10 minutes.
- No. Complete destruction only occurs in the absence of pilot control and, as a result, a collision with obstacles or the ground. Depletion of the rocket engine fuel puts the aircraft into gliding mode. Maintaining control and consciously managing thrust allow you to stay in combat for the entire standard mission duration.
Balance Changes
In order to bring combat characteristics in line with the level of opposition, the following adjustments are being made:
- BI → from Rank 9 to Rank 8 (moving to a lower rank eliminates the imbalance caused by the small fuel supply).
- Ju-288 C → from Rank 7 to Rank 8.
- He 177 A-5 → from Rank 8 to Rank 7.
The update takes effect simultaneously with the start of the new season. We recommend that pilots of the above-mentioned aircraft take these changes into account when forming their squadron and choosing combat tactics.
