Do you like historical plane matchups and short icon range?

If the answer to the topic's question is "Yes" then please come join the Frame 3 of the Sunday European Campaign (SEC) event "Ostfront 1943" on Sunday 30th at Special Events Arena 2 (SEA2) at 3PM EST.

As the name of the event suggests, it is an Eastern Front setup with 1943 time frame equipment.

Like in most of the SEC events the icon range is much shorter than in the MA. The icons are set so that you can see friendly icons to about 4k range and enemy icons to only about 1k range. In low altitude combat in less than 500 ft the enemy icon range is even shorter, so you really have to keep an eye out for the enemies. Good communications and team work prevails in these fights.

In the coming frame the Germans will be doing counterattack and try to recapture some of their bases lost in previous frames. The side split will be 60/40% in favor of the Germans.

I hope to see you there and bring your friends!
