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.

So I just got the Russian pin-up decal and there is no "other" category under decals. am I the only one with this problem?
Select customize for an aircraft and look in "pinups" (top of the list). They should be at the bottom. I have 2 of them.
why i'm not getting the boosters, talisman, lions etc.. every 4 mark of distinction achievements like it says in the article?
Have to admit I'm getting frustrated by the battle trophies. Every single one is either a low amount booster or 50k lions. My last one had every single option but 1 as a new aircraft camouflage or premium vehicle discount and guess who got the only 50k lions prize -.-
When the event ends and you cant do the tasks anymore, will you still be able to buy them? Like 10 days after the event's over? Since i'm away during that time and still want to get the vehicles, but don't have access to any PC during that time.
If you have a smartphone with you, you can always download the warthunder assistant app and purchase the challenges from the store in the app
ONLY ONE FIGHTER/BOMBER RESCUE ACHIEVEMENT ARE GETTING COUNTED, PLEASE GAIJIN FIX IT OR AT LEAST FIX THE INFO OF THE TASK SO THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT ONLY ONE ACHIEVEMENT PER BATTLE IS COUNTED
Calling BS on the terms and conditions.. tried to buy a mark i missed.. got 299 GEs for the 299 GE spent.. and now I can not try again to get the mark...yet several places on these event web pages it clearly states.. that you can get the marks from the item shop.. so either you can.. or you can not... if it happens 4 times like that.. you can not get the 2nd vehicle... so NO you can not get the marks...unless they fix this...
so now if this happens.. you can not get all of the 3d decorations(tanks) or the pin ups(planes) and the other goodies from the 40th mark for the tanks and planes...but if you look 1st question answered.. at the terms and conditions and near the tasks... all say you can get the marks from the item shop.. so unless they fix this.. NO you CAN NOT get all of the marks from the ITEM shop...
How do I get the rewards for the Marks of Distinction? I have 14 now and haven't gotten any. I am wondering about the rewards for every 4 mark. I understand that the others are found under decorations and decals but what about the others? Do I have to do, or look somewhere for them? Have I not gotten them automatically like I should have? Any answers will help. Thanks
You mean the box you get after every 4th Mark? Those are just the same box you get some time after a game. They aren't any special. They can contain any of these: 50.000-500.000 50-200% booster 50-200% booster Talisman for rank 2-4 tanks/aircraft Random tank camo 30-50% discount for random premium tank/aircraft
Today's achievement (August 10th) is really misleading in game. On the website it says "•Gain "Fighter rescuer" or "Bomber rescuer" achievement 8 times in random battles. You can get only one achievement in one battle." But that last sentence about getting just 1 per battle is missing from the in-game version. Because of this I got really frustrated the game wasn't counting my achievements properly. Please make sure the descriptions match and are correct.
Also Why do something like this? If someone is just after the achievement then this sort of thing just encourages match hopping while if you could earn all 8 in one battle, then that player would actually stay in the game.
What if I bought a day of this and it gives me just golden eagles? I am wanting to buy day 15, but i gave me GE, though we are in the 20's for the daily things.
If it really is either GE or the challenge that you receive when you purchase them then I see nearly no reason to purchase them as there is no guarantee we get what we need to gain the rewards for this task. I would love some clarification from Gaijin on this since their information on this page clearly says that skipped or incomplete tasks can be purchased.
I want to ask you, if anybody got today's (August 11) Mark of Distinction. I go thru many dogfights today and achieve 4 assists just in last battle with tier III-IV aircrafts and nothing happen. Am I alone or someone got the same issue today?
I know, on the webside it says assists. but ingame it says "Supporting Fire". GL.... I alway end up either having no sqaud mate or a noob that can't tell his arse from his elbow.
Vakantieman, So now it make sense... Yes, I got same experience. And when you got luck for team mate you got terrible luck for whole team :-D I am common player with no team, playing just for fun and relax. And I love this game and freedom how to play it. But sometimes it will be nice to fight side by side with friends. GL to all and have fun.
