Bastille Day!

On July 14th, 1789, the Bastille fortress, a symbol of absolute monarchy, was taken over by rioting Parisians. It was one of the most important events of the French Revolution. And so, when at the end of the 19th century the French government decided to choose a date for the national holiday, they picked July 14th.

From July 14th (09:00 GMT) until July 18th (07:00 GMT), play 3 battles using French vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “Bastille Day” decal.

Complete the task in random battles, except for Enduring Confrontation missions and [Assault] mode.

Track your progress in the hangar by clicking Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → Bastille Day.

You can find the decal in the “Holidays” tab in the Customisation menu.
