Dedicated to the great Victory Day we have prepared unique vehicles from the victorious nations for you in War Thunder, a memorable decal and many discounts in the in-game store and in the shop!
From 11:00 GMT on the 8th of May until 11:00 GMT on the 11th of May
Complete the tasks and get unique premium vehicles from the victorious nations!
An assault modification of a light US amphibious vehicle designed for fire support for landing forces. The main feature of this version is the short 75mm howitzer in the tank turret. The tank was actively used in battles for islands in the Pacifics, where powerful high-explosive fragmentation shells helped to crack open the firing points and fortifications of the Japanese coastal defenses. The LVT (A)-4 will be a good addition to the initial lineup of the US ground forces: the short-barreled howitzer works great at close distances, and the ability to swim will allow attacking opponents from unexpected directions!
The second modification of the cult British Fairey Swordfish biplane, designed to be used for air assault attacks on naval targets. Version II received a metal sheathing below the wing, to make possible the mounting of RP.3 rocket launchers, which significantly expand the combat potential of this biplane. In particular, the Swordfish can now be successfully used in low-rank mixed battles, as well as for ground attack missions in aviation game modes. A living legend, a beautiful and very combat effective aircraft, it is must-have in your collection!
The G-5 torpedo boats became the most common small vessel of this kind in the Soviet fleet during WWII. At the end of 1942, an experimental series of artillery boats was built, in which torpedo equipment was replaced with rocket launchers. During the tests, the project was recognized as successful and all 6 experimental boats were included in the second brigade of torpedo boats in the Black Sea Fleet. In War Thunder, the high-speed ‘sea Katyusha’ plays actively and boldly - sharp turns at high speed, non-stop machine-gun bursts and the grim howl of rockets! You need to give this a try!

Can't wait to sink the newly announced Regia Marina with the new op plane on the block - the mighty Bag of Strings Swordfish.
Don't mess with the Stringbag - You only make that mistake once in your life. :)
All answers (4)CokeSpray, Bismark learned the hard way =(
is kinda ironic that Italian Navy Release announcement and this Premium version of the plane the rekt the Italian Navy :P
All answers (6)GoonyGooGoo, really a cool story, dude! you'd care to remind me how exactly the gladiator "rekt the italian navy", though. sinking ships with machineguns? you'd probably mean the swordfish, i reckon.
amazing event. 3 rank 1 unique vehicles available for not much grinding. Please do more of such events where there are smaller prizes
I don't think that there were a lot of weird vehicles and unused ones to make as premium, if such events will be held often, then we might not see any of these events anymore when last low tier prem vehicles are out.
smaddeus, you couldnt be more wrong on that, there were tons of vehicles that would be perfect for events like this, hundreds
Happy 75th Anniversary!
"Dove of Peace" Somehow, I don't feel like that describes the Post-WWII world.
You will find that in most of Europe, there has been significantly low amounts of war for the last 75 years. And this is Victory in Europe day.
FouManchou, Yes, because instead of annihilating each other they learned that it is better to invade and ruin less powerful countries in other continents.
atleast 1 good thing you posted in the last couple of weeks. hopefully its more old tech / wwii and some fixes ( especially to your map design and team balancing )
What we need for start is new and larger maps for top tier vehicles...these small maps of WW2 do not work.
smaddeus, Right, Gaijin need to split maps between WW2/Post-War/Modern Era because playing on Poland/Kuban/Stalingrad and the fuckin' BERLIN GANG at Modern Era is an unfunny joke.
HAppy 75th Anniversary! And Thx for making it so we can earn all of the vehicles.
I may be really bad at history, but didn't france winned ?
Actually, US and UK won for France.
All answers (6)Trakkson, You should go in Jail and get some history lessons. You're making a scandalous historical shortcut, just like Gaijin. You know nothing about war and the situation of France during this period... what a pity.
Lots of nations celebrate a victory over the coming days, however we needed to pick an example of air / land and sea that suited the most people and had only 3 choices. Unfortunately its not possible to please everyone.
All answers (10)Smin1080p, Ah yes, only 3 choices. Couldn't you have made six vehicles available? So that we can choose which ones we want? And a bit more time would be nice, because some people can only play on weekdays and only Friday is not enough.
Neat!
The boi EuropianCanedian was right
Making a video talking about upcoming changes datamined by someone else; not really hard to be right. Credit goes to gszabi99 (unless he himself based his work on someone else finds that I'm not aware of)
All answers (1)ALIEN109, How long was the video this time?
"Is this an out of season april fools joke?"
