An IS-7 in War Thunder!
Soldiers! Operation S.U.M.M.E.R has been extended!
The “assembling” stage of the operation will begin on the 3rd of August and will last until the 13th, which means you will have one more week to complete tasks and receive the required blueprints before the second stage (tank assembling) begins!
Attention Engineers!
The second stage of Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. ends at 11:30 GMT on the 13th of August! After this, it will not be possible to get materials and other items from the event in battles.
At 11:30 GMT on the 20th of August, any items for the event available in the inventory and for sale in the market will be removed. Until then you will be able to exchange them for warbonds in the workshop at the following exchange rate:
- Т-34E/IS-7 materials - 1 warbond
- Т-34E/IS-7 rare materials - 2 warbonds
- Metal Detector (for ps4 and XBox) for the T-34E - 50 warbonds, for IS-7 - 100 warbonds
- Vehicle coupons (Т-34E, Sd.Kfz.234/4, М8, AEC MK.II - 1600 warbonds, IS-7 - 3000 warbonds)
Vehicle coupons, decorations and decals, also trophies with decorations and decals will not disappear and you will be able to permanently keep them.
Coupon, materials and parts exchange, also the assembly of the T-34E and IS-7 will be available until 11:00 GMT on the 20th of August. The option to trade coupons will permanently remain
In short
How to get the T-34E?
- 1. Complete 8 tasks from the 21st of July until the 5th of August to get the blueprint;
- 2. From the 3rd of August until the 13th of August - get the parts in battles at rank II-III and assemble the T-34E.
How to get the Sd.Kfz.234/4, M8 or AEC Mk.II? (if you do not want T-34E or already have the T-34E))
- 1. Assemble T-34E and get a coupon for the vehicle.
- 2. Exchange the received T-34E coupon for one of the following vehicles: Sd.Kfz.234/4, M8 or AEC Mk.II.
How to get the IS-7?

- 2. Assemble the T-34E and in addition to the T-34E coupon, you will get an IS-7 turret blueprint;
- 3. From the 3rd of August until the 13th of August get the parts in battles of rank IV-VI and assemble the IS-7.
Stage 1: development | From 21st of July until 5th of August
To develop such an effective vehicle you need to gain combat experience. In this stage you will have daily tasks which will be rewarded with the T-34E blueprint, the first half of the IS-7 blueprint and other prizes.
Daily tasks
The sooner you finish the first stage by completing the tasks, the more time you will have to collect the resources for the start of the second stage - the construction of the vehicles!
By using ground vehicles of rank II-III
- Destroy 20 enemy vehicles (10 for RB 7 for SB);
- Win 4 battles (activity of 70% or higher);
By using ground vehicles of rank IV-VI
- Get “Supporting fire” achievement in a squad 5 times;
- Earn a score of 2000 or more in each of 4 battles
Awards for completing the tasks (new)
- For 4 tasks — +77% RP booster for 7 battles
- For 8 tasks — Т-34E blueprint (previously 14 tasks);
- For 12 tasks — coupon for one of the decals (armour units signs)
- For 16 tasks — first half of the IS-7 blueprint (previously 28 tasks);
- For 20 tasks — Т-34E camouflage
- For 24 tasks — coupon for one of the 3d decorations (firearms)

- New tasks will start daily at 11:00 GMT.
- You can complete 4 tasks daily.
- You can track your tasks by clicking on your nickname → “Achievements” → “Operation S.U.M.M.E.R.”.
Stage 2: Construction of the Т-34E and IS-7 | From 3rd of August until 13th of August
Ressources and parts
In this stage you need to get Materials in battles to build the coveted vehicle. You can participate in this stage only after you have received the Т-34E blueprint.
Т-34E resources and rare parts
- Can be earned in random battles (except “Assault” mode) in ground vehicles of rank II-III.
IS-7 resources and rare parts
- Can be earned in random battles (except “Assault” mode) in ground vehicles of rank IV-VI which will apply only if the “IS-7 hull blueprint” is achieved.
- You will only receive the IS-7 turret blueprint after the final assembly of the T-34E together with a coupon for the T-34E.
- Resources and rare parts are given only if battle activity was 50% or higher in battle.
Vehicle assembly
If you have already received the blueprint and have enough “resources for assembling”, then you will be able to begin to build the vehicle in the workshop in several stages.
“Resources”
The base element is suitable for the assembly of T-34E or IS-7 parts depending on the rank of the battles played where it was received (for T-34E rank II-III, for IS-7 rank IV-VI).
(!) Can be sold on Market.
“Detail”
Will be created from resources of the corresponding vehicle. You need to choose what part you want to create.
(!) Can not be sold on Market.
“Rare part”
This part can not be created, but you can get it only in battle as with resources.
A rare part will be received by you in battles from the time you require them for assembly.
(!) Can be sold on Market
“Part of the tank”
Investigate the technical data of the tank you want to build, this may help you in choosing the correct recipe!
Creating a part of the tank is the most difficult process. To craft any of the parts you need to choose a craft recipe - and you to find the correct one! Don’t worry if you start crafting with the wrong recipe, you’ll get all your materials back. Some parts of the IS-7 can also be combined to obtain the final item.
Can not be sold on Market. Requires assembly time.
“Coupon "Т-34E"” or “Coupon "IS-7"
Coupons for vehicles can be obtained after assembling all the required Parts of the tank.
Can be bought or sold on the Market 24 hours from its receipt.
Using the Market during the accumulation of resources is completely unnecessary and you can easily collect them in the any battle.
Terms and conditions:
- You can track your tasks by clicking on your nickname → “Achievements” → “Operation S.U.M.M.E.R.”.
- Coupons for decals, decorations and vehicles can be obtained regardless of whether these items were received earlier or not.
- More about the achievement “Supporting fire” you can find on our War Thunder Wiki.
- You will be able to exchange the created T-34E coupon for one of the following vehicles:
- Germany: Sd.Kfz.234/4 (Premium Rank II)
- USA: M8 (Premium Rank I)
- Great Britain: AEC Mk.II (Premium Rank II)
- Event vehicle T-34E will be a premium vehicle at rank II and the IS-7 will be a regular event vehicle at rank V (without RP and SL boosters).
- You must be in a ground vehicle of required rank at the time of the event ending for the mission to count towards the task.
More information about how to assemble the vehicles, will be published nearer the start of the second stage. Follow the news!

We apologize for the late notice and postponement of the event. We informed you of this as soon as we noticed it. Sadly, we were not able to do it any earlier as the scale of the event was large and involved 3rd party services. We postponed the start for a few days to ensure that all features were working as intended and that you would have no problems participating in the event. Additionally, more players should be able to fulfill the requirements and participate in the complete marathon. Our goal is to provide you with information as soon as we can, we have no reason to not inform you as quickly as possible . Once again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience.
After completing the Tiger evenent, I decided to never do anything similar in my life again.
Интересно, в Русской версии сайта количество сообщений намного больше, но лайков на первых страницах намного меньше. Что с нами не так?
Collecting the chariot but I am too lazy to play the task, I want to use the way of purchasing the mission to get it! :( :( :(
So after we grind out the hull and turret, we then grind out the parts like the last event which meant like 400 games?
Why has everybody assumed that you'll have to get the same amount of parts as the Tiger? I have not found a single post by Gaijin which tells us how many parts will be required.
I really appreciate what you as administrators and developers have done for this year's Operation SUMMER. You made the tasks possible to complete simply by playing the game rather than completing a series of difficult tasks, and you've allowed us to do these simple tasks on a daily basis rather than a three-day basis. Don't worry about the people complaining about the change. That's just what happens when something "changes." Great job guys! I'll probably be giving you some money inNovember
I feel the same way, but the fact that they changed the dates of when you can collect parts at the last second is just rude. People already took time off of work, and made plans to do this etc. If they could do this without changing things last moment, i wouldn't complain.
If you know what „real life“ is then you would be angry too. But i guess you dont know what it is
It's really great that not only do you have to get squaded with someone that isn't a lummox, but the game only squads you 1/6 games. Yes, I;ve been counting. And now I just bail when it doesn't because otherwise this is impossible.
If you’re struggling now, you dont deserve the IS-7
Simply don't do the "Supporting Fire" task, if you do 3 tasks a day, you will surely have the blueprints atleast a day or two before assembly begins.
Very misleading title. I want the ability to actually assemble a tank from parts, like i want to put the ISU-152 gun on a T-54 as an example.
Actually players do not like this kind of grinding the viehcle, in which we must spend money in the market and considerable time in assembling unless we are 'superfortunate', which do not exist. You are just making people to transact more and than you can get more money through it. Previously operation summer is an event to reward the players, but now you are just thirsty for money. Its no longer our warthunder.
Please let stage 2 at least start on Monday
Next Friday M8
Really thank you for changing the dates of stage 2.....with the new timer i cant get the IS-7.....Everybody hates this style of event! Why are you doing so much bad stuff? What did we do that let you think we hate you guys???.....Thanks....now we do....
They've only postponed it because they're making sure stage 2 works. They likely found that the event was broken, and they need an entire week to do this, so they've probably done something very wrong. They only said that more people would get the tasks in addition, but that was by no means why they postponed the event.
