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?
- 1. Complete 16 tasks from the 21st of July until the 5th of August to get an IS-7 hull blueprint;
- 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)
- For 28 tasks — IS-7 camouflage
- 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.
Tankers! We have updated the requirements for the first stage, reducing the requirements for the Blueprints, meaning you can start collecting parts even sooner now. Regarding stage II, more information on how to assemble the vehicles as well as information for Consoles will be published nearer the start of the stage. Thank you for your feedback and understanding and good luck on the Battlefields!
Please replace the supporting fire task. Or let us buy tasks with GE.
Please let us buy tasks with GE
Why can't you let me pay my fixed GE price like normal with past SUMMER events? Instead you have to cram the Marketplace down our throats and throw my wallet at the mercy of whatever people feel like selling them for.
Move to Belgium or Netherlands, you won't have have to bother about the Market place anymore ;)
ALIEN109, ))))))))
For those of us that have full time jobs and also invest in this game with our $$$ , having to complete the t34e part PRIOR before having a chance at the IS7 is not doable at all . These should be separated , not a stair step . Theres no way your full time employed players can do this and work at the same time . Please separate the events .
Well, afterall current War Thunder tasks in events are mostly meant for people that have no life!
+1 - It's just plain unfair. We are the ones who support the Game and as thanks Gaijin just gives us one kick in the Balls after another......
how about calssic SUMMER events?
This.So much this.
Yes. I want 4 vehicles, I want to have a much simpler and more straightforward grind for cool PLANES because I do not enjoy tanks at all.
Instead of the overcomplicated format to force the use of the marketplace, why not just have 3 ways to get the tank. 1. Buy it for a fixed price - I understand Gaijin is a business and needs to make money for the game to continue. 2. Grind tasks - for those that dont have the funds to buy it outright, but have time. 3. Buy the tank with a cost reduction for each task that has been completed - for people with some time (but not enough to finish). Simple - easy to understand - available to all.
Give this man whole Gaijin Entertainment and he will make game better for everyone. Good idea dude.
You need a gold star
You know I get that you noticed that the number of WT players is dropping, and you want to increase it. But perhaps if you actually fixed issues that are present in the game since its launch, and the bugs that come with each new patch, you would gain more players that also stay for longer, instead of this slightly increased player count for a couple weeks until the event lasts.
The development team never stopped working on improving the game and fixing issues, some take longer than others for technical reasons (netcode update for guns, damage for canons and so on)
Ouiche, That is understandable, but it still is done in a way I perceive as "poor" when it comes to communication. We don't have a clue what of the issues are worked on, nor do we feel like that the devs are really aware how serious those problems are to the players. The game is becoming more and more punishing for playing higher tiers in GF or picking bombers/attackers in AF, events lose their character and center around the marketplace and balance as well as healthy game design are lacking. In...
4 tanks I already have and another I don't care about. Is this really it gaijin? No aircraft? Shame on you. Absolutely disappointed with this event already and it hasn't even started.
4 tanks? I only see t34e and is7
joten70, t-34 and m8 and AEC and 234/4 is what i'm talking about. I don't care about the IS-7 as it will not be a prem and will most likely need to be spaded.
Could the requirements be made any less clear? please?
easy you first have to play wt full time for about two weeks probably without that much sleep or you know you got to pay a little
Kjipsky, you mean you have to play WT fulltime AND pay, and probably not just a little.
This is so stupid. Time for endless grinding for IS-7 :). Gaijin found out the new way how to piss off War Thunder players. By this way they will gain more money than for tokens thats why this will be the new method of this kind of events. ITS A JOKE.
Think is i don't think they will get more money. Many of us would have paid for missing tasks, but the likely end result here is that required parts or the tank it's self will be stupid amounts of money, so only a few will sell.
They won't though. A lot of players won't use the market for this, hell, some people can't because the market is locked in some countries.
what about aircrafts?
I am asking the same question.
Turn out, we're going to have aircrafts events, we'll keep you updated as soon as we got more information :)
