War Thunder background
The “Floats” Event is Back, Now with the Spitfire Mk Vb (Float)!

Summer skies, cool sea breeze and the roar of engines over the surface of the water. The Floats event is back!

When: From June 12th (09:00 GMT) until June 16th (09:00 GMT), capture points on the surface of the water while controlling seaplanes and flying boats!

This time around, you’ll be able to use the new Spitfire Mk Vb (Float) plane when it becomes available with Task 6 in the Wings Over Water event on June 13th. The Floats event will run for one day more after the Wings Over Water ends, so you’ll be able to take your newly obtained float plane and have some fun in it!

This unique legendary British Spitfire has floats instead of wheels, allowing it to take off and land on water. It can be obtained in the Wings Over Water event that ends on June 15th and makes its first appearance in the Floats event once it becomes available!

Vehicles that can be used in the event (new vehicles in bold):

  • OS2U-1, OS2U-3, PBY-5, PBY-5A, PBM-1, PBM-3, PBM-5A “Mariner”, He 51B-2/H, He 115 C-1, A6M2-N, Arado 196A-3, BV 138C-1, Po-2M, MBR-2, PBY-5A (USSR), Catalina Mk IIIa (Britain), Spitfire Mk Vb (Float), Sunderland Mk IIIa, Sunderland Mk V, F1M2, H6K4, H8K2, H8K3, Ro.44, PBY-5A Late (France), Late 298D, S17BS, T 2, Arado 196A-5 (Sweden).
