Format 7v7

Tactical combined format 7v7 — This format is a tough challenge for the team players: The variation of strategies is overwhelming, while both tactical and gameplay decisions can drastically affect the match outcome both in the air and on the ground. In the future, these tactical battles 7v7 may replace the squadron battles and become a part of qualifying for tournaments of the Thunder League.

Thunder League
