New [Team Deathmatch] game mode and new locations
In custom matches, check out the new [Team Deathmatch] mode — four missions for fast-paced aerial duels with no ground targets, pure dogfighting from takeoff to victory.
The missions are available on Oahu and Korsun, as well as on two locations debuting in Aces of Thunder — Tunis and Pas-de-Calais. This is your custom battle: configure the number of players, a set of nations available to each team, the number of available respawns, weather and time of day, and fuel and ammunition limits — fight the way you like!
We’d love to hear your impressions of the mode and maps: tell us what worked and what you’d like to see improved. Perhaps, it’s worth adding these missions to random battles?
Additionally:
- New missions have been added to the Custom Battles: [Operation] Flanders and [Air Domination] Dover Strait.
- Fixed a freeze on PC that sometimes occurred when using OpenXR.
