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.

bring back historical events my snail friends!
Very nice event indeed. I have to agree with the point that Italy is not a good map, but I still appreciate gaijin bringing this on. Maginot line was more enjoyable, but every event of this kind is warmly welcome.
Ok weri cool
Pls remove the Spitfire LF mk 9 from the line up, that one is unbalanced and too strong.
Try playig it, the ability to climb is less important in EC. You'll do fine in your G6 against hurricanes.
No Plagis' LF mk IX? You've included the XP-38G, so I don't see why not
Noice
Tankers will get the Italy map I assume. One of the least liked maps in the game. Not so good. Especially after the recent Normandy event, one of the best (most popular with players) maps in the game.
It's really nice that few times in the year you boost players rp/sl gain by such historical events. My only concern is the recent outbreak of cheaters in War Thunder. Players with 10 battles are having 10-14 kills in the Sicily EC. You can buy cheats to War Thunder for $15 per month. Please, don't BS me that "you can't cheat in WT" because you clearly can...
No special rewards or something?
there's a significant SL and RP boost.
SB left out and ignored once again...
