You can unlock this vehicle during the special event : War Thunder Chronicles!
The PV-2 Harpoon is no PT boat, as the name would usually suggest, but a significantly redesigned Lockheed Ventura - a very popular and well known twin engined medium bomber used in a massive numbers towards the end of the World War 2.
The Harpoon was a twin-engined Naval reconnaissance patrol bomber aircraft derived from the PV-1 Ventura (the version build for the US Navy). It was massively reworked model build on the good experience gained with its predecessor, even so, some issues were addressed. The wing area was increased by around 12 square metres, giving it an increased bomb load and shorter take-off time, which was one of the major weaknesses of the PV-1. The tail area was produced as a completely new construction, the structure of the fuselage was reworked for strengthening and the bomb bay area enlarged. Even though the total mass of the aircraft was increased by quite a large factor (around 900 kg), the new machine had better flight characteristics and was more controllable.

Additional armament in the form of multiple forward-firing machine guns and an option to carry HVAR rockets. This was enhanced even more with the D version (the model that will be introduced into the game), which increased the total count of the forward firing 0.5 inch Browning M2 machine guns to the number of 8.
The PV-2 was powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines with a maximum of 2,000 horsepower each that gave it maximum speed up to 282 mph (454 km/h) at an altitude of 13,780 ft (4,200 m). Its maximum service ceiling was 23,620 ft (7,300 m) with an empty weight of 21,000 lbs (9,538 kg) and a maximum weight with fuel and bomb load was 36,000 lbs (16,300 kg). It was able to carry up to 6,000 lbs of bombs.

The PV-2 Harpoon was a reliable and successful aircraft, but due to the end of World War 2 additional orders were canceled and its career ended shortly after the war, in the USA the aircraft remained in service until 1948 (much longer in other countries, though; e.g. until 1975 in Portugal) and many were converted to the PV-2T trainer version.
Its career doesn't need to come to the end in War Thunder though - version D of the PV-2 will come as a unique reward for the Chronicles of World War 2. It is sure to please many fans of the US Naval bomber branch, especially admirers of the PBJ type aircraft which it will share its specific and similar playstyle with.

glad i didnt give away my soul for this boring event like i did last year..
You do not like prizes? Or what? It's hard to get anything from your comment that will help improve future event.
Stona_WT, It ain't the prizes, it's the insane mindless grind. I'd rather grind out a F-86F-2 with a P-26 than the matches presented.
Gaijin. PLEASE!!!!!! Just make these events like operation summer on random battles and make the task easier. THAT IS ALL THE COMMUNITY IS ASKING, PLEASE LISTEN!!!!!!!!
Nope. You need to achieve tasks on events.
Stona_WT, I know you have to achieve the task. I'm asking if you could make it easier. Look at the amount of people who like my comment in the Event Announcement page!
One obvious suggestion you could implement would be to tier pricing so that a box cost either 333, 666, or 999 golden eagles depending on how many tasks you achieved. It would enlarge the player base and ultimately the revenue Gaijin makes on the event and also create a strong counter argument to those who say these events are just another greedy money grabs from Lord Snail. PLEASE. I *like* this event. Get more people to play!
twin fiddies on the top AND bottom of the craft? the only thing able to take this bad boy down would have to be some kind of light mostly wooden modified russian fighter with an exceptionally heavy armament...
nah nah nah TREE fiddies on top bottom and behind your plane
Thatguy134956211, Is that bad old loch ness monster around here asking for tree fiddy again?
Im in love :)
I dont get it why people are whining on the tasks. You have to do verry little work for an verry good price. you have to play on just 6 days for about 1-2h to get this awesome plane. HELLOOOO??? it can carry 6000lbs payload, that is more than alot of the other US bombers. so @everyone, Gid gud
Because compared to previous vehicles that have been available in previous events (do you remember when they offered a jet during Christmas!?!?!?), these four vehicles just don't compare. People will sell their souls to grind them and then watch as less than 2 months of them coming out no one will play them anymore. Of the 4 given out on Christmas, the Me-262-A2 is the only one that I still see in matches, and those are still a rare occurrence.
OmniknightFTW, I did not sell my soul at all, every 2 days on 18:00 I sit myself down and play for about 2-4h WT and get both air and ground token without stress. fun fact: it even gets easier the more you progress in the events.
please increase research point prize of matches on tank battles.now its terrible
I miss 3 wins in a row :(
luckilly no, they cost me lot of nerves....
Can we get WW2 chronicles without completing tasks? Like if you add them into the shop for 2 days or so?
you can purchase the daily achievements in the item shop
Senio, but 6 packages at 999 is insane for a low tier bomber, thats 31!!! Euros.
Why not this weekend closed beta test for boats?
I think that would be cool, it would be like a test drive for everybody.
This question is better off asked in the forums. If you have access to the closed testing go to that section of the forums and ask away. If not there is an area in the open discussions for it.
