On the 8th of May, 1945, the Allied forces who fought World War II in the West celebrated “VE Day” or “Victory in Europe Day”. Cities in most of the Allied nations, as well as formerly occupied cities in Western Europe, raised flags and banners, rejoicing in the defeat of the Nazi war machine.
Finally, on the 8th of May, German troops throughout Europe laid down their arms: In Prague, Germans surrendered to their Soviet counterparts, after the latter had lost more than 8,000 soldiers, and the Germans many more; in Copenhagen and Oslo; at Karlshorst, near Berlin; in northern Latvia; on the Channel Island of Sark — the German surrender was completed in a final cease-fire. More surrender documents were signed in Berlin and in Eastern Germany.
Pilot and tankers!
Many players participated in and enjoyed the Chronicles events and fought their way to the end. In recognition of the Allied triumph, we have prepared some specials for everyone to celebrate the coming Victory Day!

i Dont wanna know how much i alreay spend on this game through the years, but calliope is still too expensive for this month :-D
I'm stuck at 4/5 and been winning many matches but it won't give me the PPSh SMG” 3D decoration, what do we have to do EXACTLY
It's probably the battle activity that's screwing you...
Win battles? Then fix the MM and give me decent teams!
I've been trying to do these, but I just can't do em. I've been playing 8 hours over this weekend, but only 1 battle actually counted as 75%+ battle activity, It's total nonsense. Even when I end up 1st of my team, or win a 20 minute game, I get 60-70% battle activity. Does anyone else experience this?
you need a minimum of 75% battle activity
The only way I'm buying something is if the D13 is 50% off... I want to but it but 30 dollars for 1 plane... really?
I spent 35 euro 1 week ago to buy the m46. Now it's on sale, that's a bummer :(
The more I play WT (and I'm here for almost 3 years), the more I think that buying anything is a bummer :C
To anyone wondering why his Victory Day Event counters won't make any progress: Play Arcade The battle activity calculation for RB is totally fucked up
It's fucked up in AB as well. I had loads of battles last night with 75% or more, victories too, and it did not count them. It stopped at 2/5, and won't go any further, no matter how many battles I play. Broken as fuck, typical of this shambles of a company.
Why won't it let me get the PPSh SMG even though I have participated in and gotten victory in more than 5 battles? Even if I win first place in on my team and my team wins the battle it still won't give me credit towards the SMG. Any thoughts?
Same here. It's broken, and they won't do anything about it.
The problem is the 75% attendance, it's completely unrealistic, playing well in a battle getting a good amount of kills and damage I get an average of >60% I've played 15 battles in the past 2 days and only 2 have counted towards the award.... WT does specials but you have to be pretty 'Special' to actually get the reward. casual gamers need not bother.
Tournament was fun, a little disappointing that I win camo packs, yet have to spend golden eagles to actual get it. Umm...so I did not really win anything... glad I was target practice for the Russian tank crews.
Another Big fail Gaijin... GG.. The idea of the battles is fun, but it rewards random luck, over personal skill, most people dont even care to get a kill they die quick to use their tickets and hope their teammates will win some battles for them
And the fact that none of this events, adds any xp, lions, not even kills for unlockign skins, I mean really? It only makes it more pointless, just by changing that at least you get somethign out of 6 hours of seeing the worst randoms have to offer. I know many people bash you over the events constantly on the forums, but seriously, hear some advice, try to make a non frustrating event for ONCE!
In chronicles of WWII the enemy continually ganged up on me early on. As a result I earned absolutely nothing. Thanks a lot Gajiin. 0_0
