The second stage of Operation “S.U.M.M.E.R.” has begun, it’s time to assemble the vehicles!

Greetings, engineers! In today’s class you will learn everything you need to know to properly assemble Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. armoured vehicles and spend much less time crafting the vehicle you want.

To make your tank, you need to:

1. Create parts from the material gathered in combat.
2. Combine those parts to make modules.
3. Assemble the modules to create your tank coupon.
4. Exchange your coupon for a tank or sell it on the market!

Key Components

Blueprint

To assemble the T-34E and IS-7 coupons, the first thing you need is blueprints for them. You can get blueprints and many other rewards by completing the tasks in the first stage of the event.

Materials

This is the basic component you will use to assemble the vehicle itself. You can start getting materials from August the 3rd until August the 13th, but only if you have a blueprint for the respective tank. An IS-7 Hull blueprint is enough to start receiving IS-7 items.

Materials can be earned in random battles with at least 50% activity. Materials can be purchased and sold on the Market.

Parts

These components will bring you a step closer to a desired tank and they can be created from the “Materials” that you have earned in battles. Piston, Gun barrel, Cannon breech, Crankshaft - you will need these and other parts to assemble a tank.

Rare parts (item labeled “uncommon”)

You can not create them yourself but you can get them in battle like simple Materials.

Rare parts can be traded and purchased on the Market. In addition rare parts can be disassembled into a small number of ordinary parts.

Complete modules

Complete modules are assembled from Parts, this process takes some time.

Assembly

Everything has its place. Tanks are assembled in the Workshop. You can get there from the hangar by selecting “Inventory” → “Workshop.”

You’re in the Workshop. The mechanics have prepared a workbench for you. In addition to tank blueprints, you also have the first tank items in front of you, or rather Complete module “recipes” that tell you how to assemble the parts you create from materials or collect as rare parts into complete modules which you will require to create the vehicle.

Highlight a tank part and select “Recipes.” You’ll see various ways parts can be combined to craft complete modules. We’re using a gun in this example. Only one of the options is right, and assembling a complete module based on a recipe takes time. But you’re a good tank commander, so you know the right combination.

The first option looks pretty good, but hold on! A piston? A good tank commander knows that a projectile fired from a barrel emits smoke, not a mixture of fuel and air. Pistons are used in engines, not guns! This is obviously an incorrect recipe, so we’ll mark it as such.

Let’s use this method to check all the recipes. Look, one of them is “barrel, muzzle brake, breech block, breech housing.” These parts obviously go together to create a gun which is a complete module.

Let’s find them in the Workshop and use the materials we’ve collected in battle beforehand to assemble the complete module.

Now all we have to do is go back to the right recipe and select “Assemble.”Congratulations, engineer! You now have your first complete module, and the next available parts have appeared in the Workshop. Keep following these instructions and assembling parts, and eventually you’ll have all the Completed Modules you need to assemble the vehicle coupon you want.

Items for assembly will disappear in 7 days after the end of the event, excess items can be exchanged for warbonds. The maximum number of battles for which materials will be given is 50 per day for rank 2-3 battles and 50 for rank 4-6 battles, for 10 days. Rare Parts are not limited by number of battles.

The maximum number of T-34E materials that can be received through all of the battle events is also limited, hence, you will only be able to assemble one tank with them. IS-7 materials however, which can be received through all battle events, are not limited.
