The United States of America celebrates Independence Day on July the 4th - an important national holiday commemorating the Declaration of Independence in 1776. This day is commonly considered as the birthday of the US.
George Washington issued double rations of rum to all his soldiers to mark the anniversary of independence in 1778, and in 1781, several months before the key American victory at the Battle of Yorktown, Massachusetts became the first state to make July the 4th an official state holiday. The war for Independence finally ended officially in September of 1783.
From July the 3rd (11.00 GMT) until July the 6th (07:00 GMT)
Play 3 battles in US vehicles (Rank II or higher, with a battle activity of 60% or over) to receive the special “Independence Day” decal.
Terms and conditions
The task can be completed in random battle modes, apart from “Enduring confrontation” and “Assault” mode.

Half the people in the comments complaining about a lack of discounts, just be thankful Gaijin is working around the clock during the lockdown. Hope all of you guys are ok at the Gaijin team! and on behave of the majority of the playerbase, thank you
80% of us are working as norm, they can at least work from home, and it don't cost them a thing to give away stuff at half price, seeing as this game charges 2 times as much for anything that any other game does. even them pointless 10% more xp for 1 game wow don't over do it.
All answers (2)Royalpain, Gaijin recently did some of the best pack sales they've ever done, they lasted close to a week. If you wanted to buy those packs you had plenty of time, and if you don't want to buy something full price: then don't. Besides, their will always be more sales/events in the future (Halloween, War Thunder's 8th offical birthday (November), and Christmas, etc).
A lot of us are console players who didn’t have the recent top tier sales on PC, and we’d like to take part in them, that’s all.
All answers (1)*Winter_Graves, All software houses and game developers are working around the clock...it is one area of business where lockdown isnt a big issue...it even may help in some cases (i personally know cases where the number of work hours of staff increased...)
all i know that it's my birthday....any gift for me? :)
Happy birthday !
happy birthday!
no sales, big sad
Please, we had one 2 weeks ago.
All answers (7)Stona_WT, That half of your playerbase couldn't access... Reaally cool
Could you toddlers stop whining about discounts for once?
All answers (7)Comett, Because not giving the entire playerbase the same benefits is unfair, maybe that's why people are complaining?
No one wants decals. WE WANT PROPER SERVERS!
i was full of hope for a ingame sale... 50% less SL for Tanks,planes,etc... :-(
We just had a series of back to back sales throughout May and June with almost everything in the store and most things in game on discount too :)
hmm if there would have only been a sale some days ago.. OH WAIT
All answers (1)Sledgehammer9000, NOT the sale mentioned above...in fact NO INGAME sale like last year. And no sale for PS4 players...zero (in summer so far)
Imagine crying about sales although there were sales some weeks ago..
yea but i didn't get to participate i was in mexico
imagine defending a sale that wasnt for everyone and was all top tier trash instead of vics that people actually wanna use
Where are all the trolls that were ranting about other nations day when it was Russia independance day? Come on, get out of your cave, there is a commemoration for the american independence day. Don't be unfair.
America already had independence before the white man took over, so, American Independence is a farce, just like Australia's, just saying....And while I am at it, it should be ALL Lives Matter, saying just one colour type is actually racist, go figure. One day we WILL get it all right, I guess....
All answers (1)Cyannide, Well someone harbors some "white guilt". Just treat people as you would like to be treated, there problem solved. Now take your virtue signaling somewhere else, we just want to play video games and not be lectured.
At least you have a comment section to troll in it in the first place. In Russian version of the site comments for this news piece are closed altogether. Can you imagine Gaijin closing comments for you for the Russia day? And that's Russian company, too. Well, technically. Supposedly.
Badluck_Dice, Chinese now...
Could we have another australia day event from a few years ago?
beautiful decal thanks but was hoping discount for premium account
Love this event! Despite what people are saying I quite enjoy when War Thunder releases new decals as must to all of them are quite unique! keep up the good work Gaijin in these troubling times!
