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.

I've got all the distinctions so far and i can say im really enjoying it. Brilliant event, I just wish you could make an event like this for the E-100 instead of a tournament.
I got 8 pilot marks of distinction, where is my pin-up decal? Or will all the rewards be given after the event is completed? never got the golden eagle difference from those 599 to 299 as well.
Don't think i have gotten mine either. But i think we will get the pin-up decal after the event. In Patch 1.61.
Wolf_89, I got mine after re-logging
Gaijin, can you please make this clear. On the calender it says 15 assists for Monday, in game it tells me to get 15 supporting fire. the thing is there is a HUGE difference between a standard assist and supporting fire. Supporitng fire is a lot more difficult to get than an assist. So either you make it clear on the calender that you need to get supporting fire instead of assists or you change the actual requirement.
Today task, on the calendar : "Gain 4 assists in random battles." Great ! Opening the game, achievements : "Get Supporting Fire 4 times"... I'm not playing in squad, so I'm **** Thank you Gaijin !
Bro it's hard to get that SF..they should remove that SF and win 3 times in a row tasks.It's hard and stupid IMO. People does not have time to get that.
I'm so excited about the vehicles. Tomorrow is the 18th event and the first two vehicles will be awarded to those who had completed all tasks. Can't wait, and the F7F-3 promises to be awesome. I'm sooo anxious for the Tigercat and KV-220 that I will be counting the remaining days hoping that I get to complete all challenges. No matter what some people may say, I love events like THIS ONE and thank you so much for lowering the requisites, so I can still live my life a little.Keep up da good work!
I have done 18 Pilots mark of distinction, and yet no FW189? Why?
I am currently trying to get the 4 victories for tanks (tank task for august the 5th). Despite having won 2 times with 80% participation now I am not getting any points towards the task. I am using the rank 3 Pz. IVs for the task. Am I missing any additional requirement?
Sorry for the double post, however I would like to add that I get the award just fine playing aircraft.
I'm having the same issue, won a battle while using tier 3-4 vehicles only with 80% activity and it didn't count, would also love to know what I'm missing here...
I have a problem. There is an error . I cant get the fourth victory.But i won already 5. i have rank IV B17. Iplayed with rank III fighters.PLZ SOLVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same problem as killingmach, tank RB, rank III , victory and 92% activity (was nr1 in the team). but did not get my 5th victory.
Same here, 4 victory in a row, 80% activity and i didn't get the task...
samle here, 3 victory in RB, but no task :(
This event is fantastic, there is a problem though... This weekend's task 'Gain 3 victories in a row' is not working, where can I report this?
Same for me. 3 rounds in a row. With 100% activity. I have pics to prove it.
