Base Defense Mode Upgrades

The Base Defense mode optimization is a key highlight of the latest game update’s play enhancements. War Wings pilots that opt for a Quick Game match fly either a Team Death Match- or a Base Defense-style mission. Base Defense challenges the player to seek out and destroy an enemy command vessel while simultaneously protecting their own flagship. Bomber pilots are tasked with destroying enemy surface units, while fighters must protect bombers and take out gun emplacements on enemy ships.

The updated Base Defense enhancements focus the action and increase the intensity of aerial dogfights with a single approach path to the combat area. Flak damage has also been reduced to diminish the chance of death by Anti-Aircraft artillery, thereby shifting the gameplay emphasis to thrilling plane-versus-plane confrontations!
