TL;DR

The Fulmar Mk.II will join the research tree in the Eagle's Shadow update as a Rank I British naval fighter.

The Eagle's Shadow major update introduces the Fulmar Mk.II to the research tree. This aircraft is a Rank I British naval fighter featuring eight 7.7 mm machine guns and 8000 rounds of ammunition. It can also carry either one 500 lb bomb or two 250 lb bombs.

The developer notes the plane has low agility and a slow roll, and the high ammo count increases its overall weight. While it can engage early monoplanes, the Fulmar Mk.II may struggle in sustained engagements because its performance starts to stagger after a few turns. The developer mentions that the final stats for the plane could be adjusted before it officially arrives.

Background In mid-November, the Eagle's Shadow update will also introduce NVIDIA DLSS 5 support for users with GeForce RTX 50 Series or RTX Spark hardware. Our earlier story
