We begin the Winter Holiday War Thunder Specials! First we have some interesting tasks for Prize Vehicles: The Soviet fighter - I-301 and the US M8A1.

 

Every day a short task will be added which can be completed until the end of the specials. For now, there are two ways to earn the vehicle:

  1. You should complete all the tasks - after that you will receive your vehicle immediately.
  2. After completing any listed task you will have a small chance to get one of these vehicles instantly.

There will be other ways to earn these vehicles too. Stay Tuned!

 

There will be 19 tasks! You have time to complete them till 11th of January 2015, so there is no need to complete them the day they were announced!

I-301

The aircraft was designed from 1939-1940. It was designed to compete with a threat of the Bf.109 which Soviets encountered in Spain, it became the I-301, developed by SA Lavochkin, VP Gorbunov and MI Gudkov. It then became LaGG-3 in serial production which later resulted in further development of the highly successful La series of fighters. In game I-301 is on BR 2.3


М8А1

To meet the needs of US troops on the battlefield, armoured self-propelled guns, capable of providing close support, in 1941-42. experiments were conducted to install Howitzers on the chassis of light tanks and armoured personnel carriers. During production, 1778 units were made of the M8. To increase the combat capabilities of the M8, it was upgraded to the M8A1 modified version with more powerful weapons and modified turret. However, this modification was not moved into mass production, but subsequently, SAU M8 M4 tanks replaced with a 105-mm howitzer. In game M8A1 is on BR 2.0
