To earn this warplane, you'll need to participate in the upcoming game event. [h1]Rise of the Kurfürst Event[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33592511/b724d00357f67d2f045d195ceb5c53db83843de7.jpg[/img] From [b]May 29 to June 26[/b], the game will host the Rise of the Kurfürst global event. Here you will see the return of the Bomber Escort, Invasion, and Attrition modes. The event will be divided into four stages, and each stage will have two identical phases: the first one will last [b]from Thursday 16:00 (CEST, UTC +1) to Friday 22:00 (CEST, UTC +1)[/b], and the second one [b]from Saturday 16:00 (CEST, UTC +1) to Sunday 22:00 (CEST, UTC +1)[/b]. [quote] Phase schedule for the NA server: the first one will take place from Thursday (17:00 PT / 20:00 ET) to Friday (23:00 PT / 02:00 ET), and the second one from Saturday (17:00 PT / 20:00 ET) to Sunday (23:00 PT / 02:00 ET) Phase schedule for the NA server: the first one will take place from Thursday 17:00 (JST) to Friday 23:00 (JST), and the second one from Saturday 17:00 (JST) to Sunday 23:00 (JST).[/quote] Upon completing personal missions, you will receive supply crates containing many valuable rewards, such as days of Premium Account, gold, consumables, equipment and materials for its enhancement, as well as Hangar Slots, and, of course, the operation order for the Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-6 Kurfürst together with a unique decoration set. Besides, each stage and phase will have a global goal that you will have to achieve in battles alongside other players. Reaching these goals will double the number of supply crates that you can receive, so long as you managed to make at least a minimal contribution to the mission's overall progress. After the event's active stage is over, you will still have a couple of days to complete the operation's missions and open supply crates. You can skip several operations or the whole chain by purchasing certificates in the Premium Shop. Also, if the time for the operation's execution has expired, but not all the missions have been completed, you can resume their execution using Tokens.

Affected players will now be able to repair their warplanes and return them into ranks. In case the repair still does not fix the issue – you will need to send the aircraft's crew to the barracks for some much-needed R&R after spending all this time in the cockpit.
