WHERE:

SPECIAL EVENTS ARENA 1

Fortress Europe welcomes everyone and asks that you remain flexible to switching sides when needed.

WHAT IS IT?

Fortress Events are pre-built missions using multiple flights of AI bombers who fly a pre-determined route to a target and drop bombs and return to friendly territory.

AI BOMBERS? ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE? WHAT? NO WAY!

Yes - AI bombers only. No fighters.

The AI gunner skills vary from bomber to bomber but at most they are medium skilled. 

AI bombers allow us to do things to that we can no longer do in game with our current player base. Most AI missions have 60-80 bombers in different groups.

Players can join a single AI bomber at any time the mission is running by contacting the CM.

UNLIMITED LIVES AND AIR SPAWNS

Every setup will feature unlimited lives and air spawns.

CM Placed Air Spawns will be used to keep the fight going till the end of regulation and for shorter flight distances. They will vary in time of opening and placement depending on the setup requirements. Details will be included in every write-up.

HAVE FUN!

Fortress Events are designed to allow players and squads to participate how they want and will typically be a different theater and different bombers every month.
