[quote]On November 13, from 08:00 to 12:00 UTC, the servers will undergo maintenance to deploy Update 2.1.30.[/quote] [h2]New Aircraft[/h2] [img]https://worldofwarplanes.eu/dcont/fb/imagesforarticles/releasewipe/prize_premium_plane_684x112.jpg[/img] Update 2.1.30 introduces a [b]brand-new reward aircraft[/b]–the American Tier VIII bomber Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster. The Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster was an independent proposal by the manufacturer to design a long-range heavy bomber with a range similar to the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. This was achieved by placing two engines inside the fuselage and installing a pair of contra-rotating propellers in the tail in a pusher configuration. This design drastically reduced aerodynamic drag, which resulted in high speed, good altitude performance, and extended operational range. Two prototypes of the XB-42 were built and tested extensively, but the advent of the jet era caused the USAAF to put the project aside. In World of Warplanes, the Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster is a Tier VIII bomber with good speed and altitude characteristics, carrying a large bomb load of twelve 500-pound bombs, released in three salvos. Its reasonably quick bomb reload time allows the XB-42 to engage in tactical bombing, traversing between targets and arriving at them with a full rack. A good rate of climb and a high operational ceiling offer safety from most hunters. All this provides for a more dynamic and engaged bomber gameplay than most players are used to. To earn this aircraft, you'll need to participate in an upcoming game event.
