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.
Frequent change of time schedule is entirely unacceptable. I am planing to go out on August 4th, which means my complete effort to obtain the prize is wasted. I believe nobody want to play a whole month just for a single event. Please change it back seriously.
why you guys do this
Dear Gaijin! I just ridiculous that you announced these changes on such short notice. I was really excited to get my hands on the T34E, but I did also know I would not have time to play the game after August the 27th. So I played until my fingers bled to get all 14 Achievements done until August the 27th, and have at least one day to collect ressources for the tank, just to find out right now I had dumped in excess of 45 hours over teh course of 7 days for nothing. (1/2)
I must honestly say that I am rather dissapointed to see that my efforts have now gone to waste, for I do rather enjoy the game, and would have liked to add the T34E to my garage. My suggestion for future events would be to not split these marathons into two seperate sessions, but to just create one big event. (2/3)
Jerry_Tumbler, I do admit that I do not know a lot about how these events are created, and I do see that a lot of time and effort must have gone into it, but if you could maybe take my suggestion into consideration. (3/3) (Edit to the first original post: I find it just a bit ridiculous)
I mean let us know like a day or two if your going to do something like this. You cant just let us know 10-15min before it happens .
I hope you watch the TheEuropeanCanadian's video about this, because he sums up everything I have to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sZOPlxNINk
"Additionally, more players should be able to fulfill the requirements and participate in the complete marathon" Don't try to pass off your broken event as something good for the community, you're trying to hide that it's not working as intended under the guise of being "Helpful to the community." Of everyone I've heard from, myself included, we are all infuriated at the fact that this change was made with no notice, and some people even booked time off work to get the IS-7. How disappointing.
Man, do I love having to wait til August 3rd now to collect parts because I already have done all the tasks I need. Can't wait to finish on the 13th instead of the 6th so I can enjoy less of the remainder of my Summer before classes start. As someone on Steam said: "That's what i've been saying as well.. if people were serious about getting the IS-7 they'd be ready at this point, if they were not ready they have no chance at getting the IS-7 anyways."
@Stona_WT, Please tell me that it's not the Russian mafia that you refer as 3rd party services. That would be only logical explanation for treating community as you are. As for trying to shout HELP! Things are getting scarier and darker with every inconvenience. I'm glad that there has been some improvements in listening to the community part but then again huge drawback now. Please don't let the dark forces get you, stay at the bright side! May the force be with you. Make the community great!
2 days PREMIUM
For all players
What a joke. What about those of us who rearranged our lives for this and or book vacation from work, way to waste our time. You know what worked fine, the old summer event format.
Why would you put the start date back 8 days? Would it not have made more sense put the end date back as lots of us have both blueprints
