Took me less than an hour to do since there's lots of bombers and ground attack planes running all over the place and very few fighters, atleast in HB. "The testing itself is currently scheduled to start before December 4th." This was the most interesting part since it could start next week for all we know and devs alreasy said on forums that doing the challenges is just one way to get a slot for the beta. Will be interesting to see what Gaijin has planned for next 2 - 3 weeks.
