Historical battles in RB game mode in the skies and on the ground of Sicily
Codenamed “Operation Husky”, the allied invasion of Sicily between July and August 1943 was a significant step in taking the fight to the Axis powers’ own territories. Air and Seaborne landings combined to take footholds in the Mediterranean whilst struggling with the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica for control of the skies. Germany took the defence of Sicily and the region as a whole very seriously, sparing no effort in resources and support. As a result of which, the battles that took place were both intense and fierce as either side’s victory over the other would have serious ramifications on the outcome of the war as a whole in many aspects.
With Sicily lying just off the coast of Italy, it's capture opened up the Mediterranean shipping lanes and paved the way for the full scale invasion of Italy itself, causing the Germans to make significant diversions in troops and resources to mount a counteroffensive as well as to bolster their grip over the territories that were previously occupied by Italain forces.
Tankers will participate in the mission [Domination] Italy - capture and keep supremacy over points on the map. In the mission 3 respawns are available and to fly out in aircraft, players will need to earn Respawn Points. This event has 30% SL and RP bonus.
Pilots will fight for victory in the “Enduring Confrontation” mode in the Sicily location - so just perform tasks to support and advance the front line and also to receive any score that is required for a victory for your team.
The event series in the RB game mode offers participants battles with historical setups. In some of these battles participants have the opportunity to get additional bonuses. Events can offer battle formats that are different from random battle modes in War Thunder.

Please gaijin make this semi permanent Thing. It would be Nice to see RB EC every other or maybe every third weekend.
Or just make it permanent
Yes, RB EC every weekend or every other weekend would help immensely. A BR range for each event would be preferable in the future though.
Makes the EC permanent, will help to get the players back.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
I love the EC mode, is much better than the World War mode. Thank you Gaijin!
Yeah if you could do it so we can play aircraft,tanks and ships this would be an awesome
Thanks for the enduring confrontation mode. Much appreciated. Like most the community says we would like to see it more often but your on a good track record right now with this one and the past one.
Looks like it's time for me to write another RB EC Review!
Thank you Gaijin, please make EC permanent mode. It is by far the best mode that War Thunder have to offer us.
Yeah I love this :D
no reward appart from RP & SL 30%+?
getting 2 EC event in this short time is already a reward...
kissHUN, I concur
Surprisingly, this event's more balanced than I thought it'd be (at least in the air, I don't really play ground forces) - I've had a fairly even number of wins and losses as both the Allies and Axis in this event. That said, the only complaint I have is that if you're gonna fly the Brits, you're not really going to have any options for bombing. You've got decent options for ground attack, but strategic targets have to be left almost entirely to the Americans. Not sure how to change that.
Actually, I do have an answer now that I think about it: give bombs to the planes that could carry them but don't have them available already. For example: the Beaufighter Mk.X in-game could carry a pair of 250 lb bombs irl, but in-game it only has the torpedo and the rockets available. It wouldn't be much, but it'd be something.
