i have the p-40 and the Big D, but none of the others, so...

 

but i'm not liking the headhunting mission       is this the first event that has this?

[Blaster_63]

I think I may go ahead and buy the F-86 at that discount.

What this old thing? 

 Retaliation Strike

Reward:
 +25% crew experience

To complete the mission, you'll need to destroy
1 American fighter in a single battle.

Restrictions:

• Repeatable mission;
• Once per battle.
   

 It has always been that way.
For as long as I can remember, Every single "Grind That <insert some tech tree branch> Line, Get That Loot, Enjoy Reduced Prices" event has had a headhunters clause.
For people that for what ever reason do not want to directly participate but still can get some thing out of it.

Do you not like <American light fighters> for some reason?  [COUGH garbage DPS COUGH​ Yet somehow COUGH GodTier DPM COUGH]
well if you manage to get at least one american fighter in any other plane in the game then enjoy an additional 25% xp buff for the battle.

As for the rest ...

 

 Prairie Heroes. Part I

Rewards:

 

 Advanced Collimator Sight
(Period II)
 50 Airframe Elements
 50 Mechanical Parts

To complete the mission, you'll need to destroy
40 enemy aircraft while defending sectors
in any number of battles.

Restrictions:

• Once per account
• Performed on
  • Curtiss P-23
  • Curtiss Hawk 75M
  • Curtiss P-36 Hawk

This is just another day at the office for any fighter. The only 'issue' that players may have is that they must fly non meta planes.

 

Prairie Heroes. Part II

Rewards:

 

 Advanced Gyroscopic Sight
(Period III)
 10 Flight Instruments
 10 Heat-Resistant Parts
 10 Radio Electronics

To complete the mission, you'll need to earn
3,000 capture points for destroying aerial targets
in any number of battles.

Restrictions:

• Once per account
• Performed on
  • Curtiss P-40 Warhawk
  • North American P-51A Mustang
  • North American P-51D Mustang

This one may seem tricky at first ... but there appears to be no distinction between offensive or defensive cap points earned. 
As long as you are doing that light fighter good work over cap zones (like you should be) this is just a matter of a grind.
Over and done in ten battles if you can average 300 cap points per battle  
Remember the recent Fall Ratings Contest? This is the exact same thing. 

 

Prairie Heroes. Part III

Reward:
 3 Unique Supplies

To complete the mission, you'll need to deal
100,000 HP of damage to aerial targets
in any number of battles.

Restrictions:

• Once per account
• Performed on
  •  North American P-51H Mustang
  •  North American FJ-1 Fury
  •  North American F-86A Sabre

Ok. Pumping out 100k damage through 6 HMGs is gonna take a minute. Good thing cooldown is problem for other players

So we get a discount on planes but NO discount on hangars. 

I do not need the hangars but I am sure there are several players that could use the hangars 

Instead of selling off a plane to fit a new one into rotation. 

[wylleEcoyote]

that hanger contest was last week

could someone please explain the term prairie dogging

It's where you let your schnauzer run loose in the Midwest.

Welp, it appears as though the P-51H is going to get some love this weekend.  100,000 damage points is a lot.  That's a BUNCH of bombers that need to get shot down.  Well, they need that anyway, which is neither here nor there.

that's when everyone is poking up over the cubicle partitions to see what the fuss is about, much like a group of prairie dogs popping out of their burrows to look around.

Hey Wargaming, still waiting for the balance patch that buffs machineguns

AGREED.

 

Wow, playing the 51H was painful.  And the Fury is going to take some time just to get to elite, never mind earning XP for the F-86.

If the guns were just a *little* stronger on the P-51 line, it would be seriously dangerous.  As in, gives all the other fighters at-tier a run for their money.

 

I would like them to give a bit better DPS, traded for cooldown.  I would also like them to get a bit better range.  Yes, it says they go to 600-700m, but the real range is about 350-400m.  It would be nice to extend that out to 500-550m.
