Celebrating 500 Years of Swedish Independence!
Download Wallpaper:

On June 6th, 1523 Gustav Vasa ascended to the Swedish throne and declared the secession of Sweden from the Kalmar Union. Since then, Sweden has maintained independence for 500 years! And on June 6th, 1809 a constitution was adopted that abolished absolute monarchy and paved the way for modern democracy. So this date is celebrated as the National Day of Sweden for two reasons!

From June 5th (9:00 GMT) until June 8th (9:00 GMT), play 3 battles using Swedish vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “500 Years of Swedish Independence” 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 → 500 Years of Swedish Independence.
