Spring 2016 Event

Introduction

The Spring 2016 Event, "Deployment! Land-based Aerial Division!" is planned to start on May 2nd, 2016. The entire event will be a "What if" Operation that will involve constructing an Airfield Land Base which will be used to launch Land Based Planes. The event is expected to be about 3 weeks in length and will be large scale operation which will consist of 7 stages that will be divided up into 3 different operations, a main operation, a later operation, and an extra operation.

The event plans to introduce the new "Land Based Plane" System which will introduce new Land Based planes such as the Type 1 Land Bomber and the the Type 96 Land Bomber.

In addition, the event will be the first time an event will branch into two separate operations which can be done at the same time once you complete the main operation.
