Restore the rare fighter - the I-180S and trade it for the VFW SPG, Pr.122bis submarine chaser, the Ju 388 J interceptor, the Merkava Mk.1 MBT or the light cruiser HMS Tiger.
Warriors!
We managed to recapture an aircraft building facility that does not appear on any of the maps. There we discovered a very interesting I-180S fighter. We should move them back to the home front, but the railways are still controlled by our enemy. So the only option is to restore them and transport them under their own power!
Rewards in the special
I-180S — is an extremely valuable machine, you may of course leave an operational vehicle for yourself, and also trade a coupon on the Market or trade it for the vehicle you personally prefer.
You will receive a damaged I-180S after the first battle which you will be able to begin repairing. The first fully restored aircraft can be traded for the I-180S coupon.
- The initial assembled I-180S fighter will be available as a I-180S coupon.
- The second and further I-180S fighters will be received as Vouchers. 1 Voucher for one fighter.
- A I-180S coupon can be traded for either the VFW or Project 122bis coupon.
- 1 Voucher can be traded for a I-180S, a VFW or the Project 122bis coupon.
- 2 Vouchers can be traded for one of the following coupons: The Ju 388 J , a Merkava Mk.1 or HMS Tiger.
Here is an instruction on how to receive rare vehicle “Coupons” and trading “Vouchers” for “Coupons”▼
Aircraft diagnostics
The first step in repairing your aircraft is diagnosing the vehicle in a diagnostic test flight where you will be able to see the defective components so that you can concentrate on replacing them. The damage to the components is unique for each aircraft and in most cases they can be indicated by visual inspection. Armament, flaps, brakes - these and other components can be tested in a diagnostic flight.
At an airbase you will receive a toolkit for the I-180S assembly, which contains a non-functional aircraft that requires a diagnostic test flight. After the diagnostic flight, you will be able to choose a list of possible aircraft defects. For each correct guess, you will receive two extra Technician Toolkits.
Be careful, you can choose a list of defects only once for each non-functional aircraft. You can choose lists of defects only during the first three assemblies on your account. After that, you will be unable to receive additional Technician Toolkits and you will have to start disassembling an aircraft.
Once you find the defects, you may disassemble the aircraft using Technician Toolkits and start repairing it.
Aircraft repair
Your task is simple - define all defective components and replace them with new ones. Using functional components, assemble all parts of the fighter into a complete aircraft.
Only a fully repaired I-180S will be able to move to the home front under its own power and bring you your reward!
- I-180S (non-functional) - your aircraft that needs repairs. Can be sent on a diagnostic flight and subsequently disassembled into parts.
- Parts - are units of a fighter aircraft (like wings, fuselage etc.) that can be disassembled into components if they should be replaced. They cannot be purchased on the Market.
- Components - are elements of the aircraft units (Parts) that may be defective. If a Component is defective you should get a new one in battle or purchase it on the Market. If a Component is functional you can use it to assemble Parts.
- Aircraft Maintenance Technician Toolkits - are the expendable tools that are used for examining Components, Parts, assembling and disassembling. Can be received in battle, after disassembling defective components or purchased on the Market.
Spare Aircraft Maintenance Technician Toolkits and new Components can be traded on the Market, you might as well purchase the missing ones.
It is not necessary to use the Market to assemble an aircraft - you can do it all on your own.
Extra rewards for the top performing players
The more efficient players will be able to assemble their vehicles 80% faster (it’s an average for all War Thunder game modes, including trading spare Aircraft Maintenance Technician Toolkits on the Market and purchasing new components for the GaijinCoins you received)! You will need to meet some further requirements: be the first in the team at the end of a battle and you will receive an extra trophy that contains between one and three, and in rare cases - 10 Aircraft Maintenance Technician Toolkits. Occasionally you will be able to receive a coupon for a unique camo for one of the Special’s vehicles. You can either activate it or trade it on the Market.
- I-180S: Standard summer camouflage
- Pr.122bis: Disrupting camouflage of the USSR patrol fleet
- VFW: Late three-colour spotted summer camouflage
- Ju 388 J: Two-colour camouflage (RLM 75 / RLM 77) Germany, 1945

In some cases, to receive the correct parts in battle, you need to re login to the game. We recommend that you do this if you haven't received the new parts for an extended period.
11 days given to get 9 voucher , which each require 12-15h to get is insane , noone with a normal job is able to get it. We need either more time or less time required to get a voucher , from 13-15h to 6-8h or max 10h. I loved evry event you guys made , and didn't have anything against the IS7 event , because it's a very powerfull vehicle , but we aren't getting a game braking vehicle with this event , only some (maybe) good ones. Please change the requirements.
Nice time compression for the event...it is the IS-7 II Event!! FOR ONLY 11 DAYS!! 11 DAYS!! its all set up, you can try like hell for 11 days and still end up with jack shit to show for it...well some useless debris in your inventory and an increased sense of there being "haves" and "have nots" in this game
Stop this madness please. Bring the Time for all vehicles down to MAX 3h per day, thats still waaay too much for anyone with a job and a life next to this game. So please, listen to your community and lower these requirements. We know you want to make money, and you still will. I mean just think of it, if more people can complete the vehicles, more people will sell them = more money for you
Let me translate all this "Chinese" for you: Gaijin wants you to use the Marketplace, because Uncle Stalin needs more titanium combs for his mustache.
Very disappointed. Why Gaijin make these events so hard to grind? Seriously, Gaijin, you are killing people's passion and love in this game. Keep doing this, and finally players will be out of tolerance, and leave the game. I regret buying pre-order packs each patch to support gaijin which rewarded us players tons of shitttttt! I will play some BFV and league, it is not as time consuming(wasting) as this.
Make a poll, see how many players want to have this sort of event. Make it public too, so not to hide any data. No, we don't want a marketplace oriented event Gaijin. The comment sections should have made this clear enough.
>Be careful, you can choose a list of defects only once for each non-functional aircraft. You can choose lists of defects only during the first three assemblies on your account. After that, you will be unable to receive additional Technician Toolkits and you will have to start disassembling an aircraft. Wait so that means only 3 vehicles can be assembled/traded per account without use of the market system?
No, you just don't get any extra toolkits from the start.
I like this event! However i think it's going to take me a while... i want both the Merkava and the HMS Tiger, so, if i understood well, that will take me about 60 hours to get them both? (each is two vouchers, and each voucher takes about 15 hours to get)? Can somebody tell me if i am right? Other than that, i like the schematic and the tasks. Yay!
you need 4 vouchers to get the Merkava + HMS tiger, 1 voucher is 1 I-180S and that takes 13-15 hours to build and get the parts so....yea around 60 hours for the both. It was kinda confusing at first but Reading it through a couple more times made it easier to understand how they planned to do this.
LtCookie, Actually if you want it for free or not buying vouhcer (if they are for sale) you need to build 5 I-180S i guess?
And no air sim. Great.
Thats good because nobody plays air sim and its not worth it
So basically we have 11 days to test, diagnose, and repair up to three planes by flying driving or sailing in arcade or realistic battles and not "EVENT" garbage matches with the possibility of trading in up to two vouchers for further prizes. OK a VAST improvement over last year.
That's definitely not an improvement still getting all the vehicules require more than a full time job worth of time. Previous event could be done (still time consuming) This one is nearly impossible. Over a longer time frame, it would be ok but 11 days is just too short. In the end you'll be forced to pay if you want everything
BigGTU, Depends on what you want out of it.
