New Ace Challenge: In case you missed the update from last week, we made a bunch of changes based on your feedback from the first Ace Challenge. Below is a list of those changes:

Ace Challenge Memento’s will be featured in a variety of tiers:

Uncommon for 3-star Medium completion.
Rare for 3-star Hard completion.
Epic for placing in the Top 100 on the Ace Challenge leaderboard.
Legendary for placing 3rd, 2nd, or 1st on the Ace Challenge leaderboard.
Note: You will receive the Memento for your highest tier/accolade reached.
Ace Challenge Memento’s will also show aircraft as well as teammate information.
Made some adjustments to certain star thresholds.
Leaderboard entries will now include Aircraft used and Level.
Upon defeat, the Ace will now eject.. who knows when they may return! 🫣
Some Art and UI tweaks to various screens and menus related to Ace Challenges.

(New Map) Countdown: We know you’ve been counting down the days for this, and we’re happy to announce that both Countdown [Day + Night] will be entering the rotation September 23rd alongside this deployment.

There’s fun to be had for all roles and playstyles, so have fun exploring and make sure you #showusyourmetal 💪
