How does Bullet Hell work?

Bullet Hell pits two teams of eight against each other in modern jet aircraft with just cannons as weaponry. The first team to destroy 20 enemy aircraft wins!

Event Features

  • All secondary weapons that you bring into a battle (except for cannons) will be automatically discarded when you spawn in. External fuel tanks can be used in battle in a loadout consisting of them alone or with them and cannons.

  • Each pilot has 3 respawns available.

  • Any aircraft with a Battle Rating from 12.7 to 14.3 can participate.

  • Battles take place in Realistic mode with markers.

  • You can replenish fuel and ammunition at the spawn point.

  • Spawning with a vehicle requires Silver Lions, which are returned at the end of the battle if your aircraft wasn’t destroyed. The number of Silver Lions returned depends on the vehicle’s condition.

  • You can earn research points and Silver Lions in battles in this event.
