On the 19th of November, 1942, the troops from three fronts of the Soviet army began a counter-offensive near Stalingrad.

In honour of this, simple battle tasks will be available in War Thunder that you can perform in random battles to get useful rewards.

teamoo_, mas que belo pinto voce tem
I would love to seee more historical events but pls not just allies side!
Very cool event! The more historical you can make it, the better!
What a cool +0% booster.
I like this idea. I just wish you could exclude earnable camoes from the random drop chance. I don't mind if others have them, but I like to earn those myself; it gives me a reason to revisit already spaded vehicles. There's more than enough GE-only camoes to pick from, why not preserve the distinction?
I'd still like to see this be more like a Battle of Britain event, where these battles with specific vehicle lists are split off from regular random battles (AB or RB). I realize there's probably a popularity issue here that prevents that, though.
The fact that they are actually giving premium and camouflages away is pretty neat
I feel like most of the rewards people will receive are going to be boosters and back ups though. I got a 20% booster, and I don't even use boosters. It would have been nice to get something that actually commemorates the historical event instead of something I'm not even going to use and then forget about once it's gone. But, it is what it is.
Do more of this, very interesting event format
Very nice with historical evens, and some cool rewards as well! Keep them coming please. A much welcome break from top tier grind!
thanks for the event.
