Win 10 battles (with an activity of 60% or higher).

You can purchase the Stars ⭐ for Golden Eagles without even completing the task in the menu: Nickname → Achievements → Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. → Tasks for tankers/pilots/sailors
Detailed terms
- To receive a Star ⭐ you need to complete any 3 tasks from 5 for the respective type of vehicles.
- You can complete the tasks in random battles (excluding “Enduring Confrontation” and “Assault”) in vehicles of rank III or higher (for fleet - rank II or higher). The exact terms of the achievement can be found in the game client.
- Performing tasks must be completed with the destruction, and assistance in the destruction of, player controlled vehicles, NOT AI controlled vehicles.
- By completing the task “Win 14 times” in combined ground battles, the task will be counted as completed with the type of vehicle in which you finished the battle (ground vehicle or aircraft of the specified rank). By completing the same task in naval battles, the task will always be counted for ships.
- You can follow your progress by clicking on your nickname → Achievements → Operation S.U.M.M.E.R..
- The Star ⭐ will be counted as received if the achievements ★ are coloured gold ⭐.
- Missed Stars ⭐ can be purchased in the Achievement window until the 3rd of September. Don't make a mistake in choosing between the group of achievements - pilots, tankers and sailors.
- Coupons will not be available for trading on the market before the 4th of September. You can see in the game the time from which the coupon can be traded in the coupon description. The possibility of selling each coupon separately depends on the time of its receipt and does not depend on the vehicle on the coupon.
- From the 10th of August, PlayStation 4® and Xbox One players will be able to exchange decoration and decal coupons for similar ones (you can exchange coupons of the same type). The exchange is available in the “Workshop” - Exchange items “Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. 2020”.

Dear friends! Due to server issues occurring on Aug 23rd, all active Premium accounts have been extended by 12 hours. The time required to complete the current Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. tasks will be also extended by 12 hours. “Mark of distinction 9 for tankers/pilots/sailors” can be achieved up until 23:00 UTC/GMT, Aug 25th. Therefore, on Aug 25th both Marks of Distinction 9 and 10 will be active. Thank you for your support!
50 enemies instead of 45, 14 wins instead of 10, 12 enemies instead of 11, 30 assists instead of 25.. glad you're increasing the requirements based on the amount of criticism you get from the previous events. Also why do kills no longer scale with RB and Sim? Please tell me that's just a mistake and that's insanity.. and assists should also scale with RB, as people have asked for many times before.
Hope its a mistake. But sadly i don't think it is.
The task changes are based on the data and statistics taken from the previous events. Previous events showed that the tank tasks were completed far quicker and easier than the other 2 types and it was and it was greatly skewed compared to Air and Naval even accounting for the generally larger ground presence. On average, in the time taken to get the 14 victories, the same player will have generally received the 50 kills also required. The average player was previously receiving 5+ kills per game in RB without major concern. Both RB and SB both have more than enough targets to satisfy these tasks. All tasks for every event are carefully considered taking into account the previous analytical data from past events. As such, Aircraft have proven satisfactory now, Naval was too hard and thus the tasks reduced and Ground was even easier by a larger margin, thus sees an increase. Aircraft have higher multipliers in RB for example as you have only 1 spawn, which is not the case in Ground Forces.
All answers (51)Smin1080p, Then go up from 23 or what it was. To 30. But 50 is way to much. But main reason for this change is to make it so we will get frustrated and spend(read waste) money on the tasks to get the vehicles....
"Destroy 50 enemies." So no multiplier for RB/SB? But planes get it? Neat. Tanker tasks keep getting worse but not plane tasks. Seems fair.
bruh i cn get 12 kills in arcade battles wih my t 20 at once stop whining
All answers (12)black_lightning1, We can't all b as perfect as you
actually, since they increased the reset day to 2 days each, you can reach it and not feeling f-ed up when the reset button hits, unlike the F.R.O.S.T. event where they reset it each day
All answers (2)GanyangUrself, As far as I can remember Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. always had 2 days, I would do the air first then ground the next day.
Why is there no 2x multiplier for RB and a x3 multiplier for SB for the ground kills? 25 kills in RB is hard enough to reliably grind already.
Agree. 50 kills is way to much. Especially for those that will try and go for ALL 6 vehicles.
All answers (2)Wolf_89, then play arcade
Do agree its stupid for anyone trying to do it in RB/SB, but if you're doing it in conjunction with that obscene 14 wins its less than 2 kills per game (50% win ratio taken into account) and only barely more than 1 assist per game.... (there's quite a lot of sarcasm in this comment given how absurd 14 wins every 2d is)
All answers (2)Alexsis8, Um can I do the same task three times and get a star or do we have to do three different ones?
Yeah, nice, "capture 15 points" task again - and battles will be ruined again with half of team flooded with some overspeeded trash like R3 what rush to cap point, then J out and move to another battle - and repeat.
If they're doing that then they're stupid because they still need to get 2 other achievements and they can probably get all or most of those captures while doing the other tasks.
All answers (3)Alexsis8, Actually, last even, it worked alot better than doing all at once. It is better to reliably get one task and then do something like kills & assists at once in a more capable vehicle of performing the other tasks.
I made sure I grinded my R3 because of the last event, but doesn't it ruin the game, bad requirements for an event?
So nice that you keep upping the requirements everytime one of these events rolls around, dont get me wrong theyre nice, way better than that crafting fiasco you keep pushing, but cmn
Aircraft tasks are identical, Naval were actually reduced and the only ones increased were ground forces to better scale the tasks with the other vehicle types.
All answers (20)Smin1080p, "to better scale the tasks with the other vehicle types." aka to make grind harder, the 14 wins alone take a whole day or more to achieve.
I think you upped the requirements too much. Me, with a 45 win rate, will have so much butthurt trying to get the vehicles. Wtf? Lower the requirements, 90% of people wont be able to do all these tasks.
Agreed. They hope most buy stars instead of earning them.
And a headache from staring at the screen from 10am to 11pm to gain to stars
Congratulations to _NovA29R_ for his model of the Arado 196!

*Alexa, play Danger Zone* )))
All answers (7)Smin1080p, "Kenny Loggins intensifies"
will the skin be the Blue Angels skin
All answers (1)IDIOTTEN, Probably not but someone will most likely make a user skin for you if you ask.
Some very nice vehicles, especially the higher reward ones. Glad to see the Ar 196 model is finally added to the game.
Guys did a great work with recreating this aircraft, cannot wait to put my hand on it :)
All answers (1)Stona_WT, Friend of mine was complaining literally last week that it wasn't in the game and the only float plane the germans had was that He 51!
Agreed, hydroplanes are always a welcome addition to the game for me, no matter the nation
So in essence play the game earn a star ....more events like this please .
Idk how this is such a new concept to someone who joined in 2013 xD we have 3 of these every year
AceofWWII, 2* Operation Summer has historically been a building event with the Chronicles event being a starred event and Operation FROST/Winter/whatever they call it this year also being starred. So yes, they do 3 big vehicle events per year (excluding WWM seasons), but since their market launch one of these events has always required building stuff (and seems to be people's least favorite of the 3)
IT's not that simple, they pretend playing the game is as easy as they imply, when it objectively isn't for most people who actually play this game, the whole point behind this event is to get people to just buy the winnings without any grinding
