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.

After finish the fourth tank task, i dont get the random box. dunno why~
same for me. maybe we have to wait until the end of the event to claim all prizes :s
Shiftycatz, I got mine. It's just like the trophy box you get some time after a game.
I'm really glad to see that you listen to the community. And lowered some of the requirements needed. And lowering the gold cost. That should make more people happy. But like always there will be some that still complains :/ But im really happy. Thx Gaijin. Now get back to making Dev Blogs for upcoming vehicles in patch 1.61. I'm curious to what more you will add in the patch :) And please let us/ME buy the M8A1 pretty plz. And add the T14 Assault/Heavy tank and M7 Medium :p
Can you please confirm that the reduction in price for MoD is for the whole event and not just the next week as the reduced tasks are.
As I already own the Grant Mk.I, will I still get the red skin when I have done enought missions?
Already found out it's a seperate vehicle... so scratch that question ^^!
I noticed it said that players who bought Marks of Distinction for 599 GE will receive the difference back in Golden Eagles. I assume this will take some time, as I have not had mine back (I bought two), and you likely have to check purchases etc. So is there an ETA on when we will receive our Golden Eagles? Thanks, ~Aslad
leave 299 price for event, I will buy them all ^^
So the missions were made easier, but now I have to shoot down 8, not 2 player operated aircraft while manning a turret?
the tasks were fine as they were. i really don't understand people who keep complaining about getting free stuff for some easy tasks. you don't have to do them if it's too difficult for you. the point of a challenge is that you work for it and if you succeed you'll be rewarded. kids nowdays want everything for free damnit...
Most of the tasks are no "challenge" it is more of a time consuming grind. For example I can’t see the challenge in winning "x" amount of games. I'm glad that some of the requirements got lowered so I can do both air and tank missions after work and still have some time left for other things. If you want a challenge simply tie one hand to your back while playing the game. :D
So, if we buy all 5 of the "Pilot Marks of Distinction" packs in the in-game store, will we get the F7F-3?
Never mind.
I hope it won't be just 4 this week in the end, but why gunner view task was quadriplied?
