"Foreign Plane Bonuses" is an event-only mechanic where most foreign planes (not from the IJN/IJA) get various damage bonuses.

• This mechanic is exclusive to "European Events", since the Summer 2021 Event.
• This mechanic used to be called the "PLane Matrix", as the bonus worked in a matrix configuration in its two firsts occurrences.

Past Event Bonuses

This mechanic was used in all events with maps being located in the European theater since the Summer 2021 Event, being notably absent on maps of those events that did not take place in Europe.

tl;dr For max bonus, take one plane from C4 + one plane each from B3 and A2/B2 or B2 and A3/B3 e.g. C4 + B3 + B2 or C4 + B3 + A2 or C4 + B2 + A3 How to calculate bonus Multiply all eligible letters together, then multiply all eligible numbers together e.g. A1 + A1 = A * 1 A1 + B1 = A * B * 1 A1 + B2 = A * B * 1 * 2
