World of Warplanes is glad to introduce Heavy Fighters, the second of several rock-paper-scissors warplane classes that take over the skies in the game. Featuring such names as the Fw.57, Bf.110, Me.410 and Me.P.1102, heavy fighters are currently represented in the German line of warplanes, and will be gradually added to other national rosters. Their size, power and armament allow heavy fighters to fulfil a great variety of objectives including interception, head-on attacks and bombing, making them one of the most versatile classes of air forces. They are truly the Ultimate Predators of the skies.
