Pilots and tankers, the last month of summer will be a month to remember. We’re announcing the start of a big new event: Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. Four new premium vehicles straight from the testing grounds, new decals and other prizes for the best warriors in the skies and on the ground!
"Operation S.U.M.M.E.R." will run from July 22nd to August 22nd
Open the mission calendar for the Task list!
UPDATE 01/08/2016
Fellow pilots and tankers, we have received new orders from HQ:
- The requirements of many tasks for receiving Marks of Distinction in “Operation S.U.M.M.E.R.” have been lowered for this week (from August 1st to August 7th).
- The price for Marks of Distinction for tankers and pilots has also been lowered in the Item Shop - 299
instead of 599 .
During this week, players who bought the Marks of Distinction for the old price will receive the difference between the old price and the new one in golden eagles.
UPDATE 03/08/2016
Dear players! On August 3rd at 08:00 GMT, the game servers will be unavailable due to the implementation of 1.61 "Glory Road"! Tasks for "Operation S.U.M.M.E.R" on August 2nd and August 3rd will be extended for 24 hours. Premium accounts will be compensated upon completion of the maintenance. Follow the news! Thank you for your patience!
The military arts never stop changing. Somewhere on the front line, shells are firing and turrets are torn off turret rings. Off to the side, engineers strive night and day to perfect their fighting machines: new engines and weapons are developed and armour is strengthened. The results of their efforts are now perfectly tangible.
Soldiers, HQ has received prototypes of military vehicles from Testing Ground 113. This testing ground specializes in a wide array of tasks, from testing the newest prototype ground vehicles and aircraft to benchmarking power trains and complex equipment. Each of these vehicles has its own story: from the famous ‘Uhu’ reconnaissance aircraft that became a test platform for the latest aircraft engines, to a new development: the KV-220 heavy tank, worthy of inheriting the laurel of Kliment Voroshilov, surpassing it in armour, power and armament. The appearance of these vehicles clearly reflects the titanic effort spent on designing and upgrading them. Months in the tender care of mechanics has also left its mark: all testing ground vehicles perform at their peak characteristics as soon as the engine is first started, and their genius engineers have given the vehicles premium status.
There’s a reason these vehicles have been deployed. There is a task at hand: to test these prototype vehicles in real battle conditions with minimal losses. Only the most experienced crews will be able to handle this challenge. Command has decided to distribute the vehicles amongst the best soldiers who have shown their outstanding skills on the battlefield. Now is the time to prove that you are worthy of discovering all the potential of a brand new weapon. You don’t even have to choose – you can get all these vehicles at once by participating in a new operation, codenamed ‘S.U.M.M.E.R.’!
Naturally, there are going to be other useful gifts from the home front too. New decals and other rewards await the event’s participants.

Progress demands resources, and they are often harder to find than a genius solution. A suitable platform was required to test a new modification of front-line bomber engines, but the Me.410 was as precious as air on the field for intercepting enemy Flying Fortresses. The solution was simple and elegant. The air force had sufficient numbers of the Fw 189 Uhu – a famous reconnaissance aircraft – and its configuration, light design and simple installation process for new power train parts and mechanisms made the aircraft a perfect test platform.

Any new vehicle of an enemy or ally often becomes not only a soldier in your army or a target for testing out your weapons, but also an object of deep study with a view to absorbing the experience of engineers from other countries. The M3 Lee was no exception. Test data obtained in the testing grounds are sure to help Britain make its new military vehicle prototypes even better, and the Grant modification, stripped down to the screws, has again taken on its original form, receiving protection from the deadly sands of the desert and an upgraded turret. The M3 Grant is ready to serve the greater good in real battles on the side of Britain. |
The original Grumman F7F Tigercat is the first US twin-engine carrier-borne fighter – it stands out for its very high maximum speed and powerful frontal armament. But better is always good. A third modification of this aircraft has arrived from the testing ground, equipped with a new power train. The engineers haven’t failed to take advantage of this, and it became possible to mount additional launchers with rockets, including the large anti-ship Tiny Tim rockets!

Success has to be capitalized on. The Soviet KV-1 heavy tank is undeniable proof of that. A vehicle that struck fear into German tankers’ hearts was sure to find a successor, and it didn’t have to wait long for one. The KV-220 has undergone its finishing touches at Testing Ground 113 and is ready to surprise the enemy with its even thicker armour and more powerful cannon, for which, incidentally, an entirely new turret had to be created. The long-barreled 85 mm F-30 cannon is just what the first KV was missing, and it guarantees the efficacy of this successor on the battlefield.

Good event, but please for the love of god fix the tasks. Fighter / bomber rescuer for aircraft only counts 1 maximum a game, no matter what, i got 4 in a single game and it only counted 1 towards the task.
Jeez, did anyone bother to say, "thanks?" As always, my worry is that Gaijin listens to the community, makes changes, and when no one takes the time to notice, decides it's not worth it because the WT community is going to whine and kvetch no matter what they do. While that's largely true, some of us *do* notice, and appreciate it. Outside of some buggy tracking issues the first few days, I thought the event looked like a lot of fun, with a fair amount of rewards to boot. CONT...
CONT ... But the price of missing a challenge *was* too high, and tasks that are, imo, kind of dumb. (I hate all "assist" tasks, or anything else that requires me to *not* make a kill). Gaijin recognized that, and made a change. So, you know, thanks guys.
thank you gaijin for lowering the GE cost for Mark of distinction and also the task requirements, now im able to afford buying the marks that ive missed. gaijin gets my money and i am able to get some nice vehicles. Once again thank you gaijin!
Stop adding anything that involves gunners! Nobody likes to farm air kills with bombers.
Has anyone got the ground forces "Supporting Fire" to register? I've gotten Teamwork and Assists but nothing registers on the Mark of Distinction. Does this only register for kill stealing a tank your squad member damaged? These Marks of Distinction that rely on other player's ability suck
A Squad member have to kill an enemy you damaged just use your MG in the enemy tracks or barrel once you get the hit marker your ask your partner to finish kind easy if you play with a friend in the same squad, you can use your main gun too but just avoid 1HK XD
Fal_SBS, Many thanks! Once I knew who had to get the kill I was able to eventually get the mark of distinction
Can you guys reduce even more the kill count for gunners or reduce the requirement to Tier I , II? isn't everyone that have a Tu 4 to farm this, and theres a lot of players joining as bombers and leaving soon as they die
Well, Gaijin never learns from their mistakes it was hard enough sometime ago when there was another event that needed gunner kills atleast it had lower tier requirement atm its almost imposible without Tu-4.
Gaijin please not every single person on this world has good gunners or planes with good gunner armament this challenge is just ridiculous for German aircraft
Same with the American Bombers
kill enemy planes with your gunner. PURE CANCER!!!
Next time make it that we have to kill an airplane with bombs, thats gonna be fun.
Played tank matches for an hour+ and got one supporting fire. Every match either the person was in a squad with or myself would die before we could get the achievement. So, with frustrations abound, I switched to aircraft for an hour+ and got no gunner kills. My desire for this event keeps going down. The 'War in Mid Air event was fun. Probably one of the most fun, if not the most fun event, this game has seen. Having all these tasks be completable in such an event would have been awesome.
