A Decal and Two Aircraft for Bastille Day
On July 14th, 1789, Parisians stormed the Bastille — a prison fortress that became one of the symbols of French absolute monarchy. Since 1880 this date has been celebrated as the main national holiday in France, with an annual military parade held on Champs-Élysées, one of the oldest and largest in the entire world.
Book of Records: German Aircraft
The German tech tree is one of the largest in all of War Thunder. Germans started building aircraft at the very beginning of the 20th century, and their industry has a very rich and turbulent history. At one point, there was even a split into two major warring camps! Today, though, we are here to celebrate the best designs that Germany has to offer: the fastest, the most agile... and most historically important aircraft!

A Decal and a 3D Decoration Commemorating 80 years from Operation Husky
Operation Husky, a large-scale landing of the Allies on Sicily, began on July 9th, 1943. After a month and a half of fighting, the Allies gained full control of the island, opening naval routes through the Mediterranean sea. Soon after, Benito Mussolini was removed from power, Italy reached a peace agreement with the Allies, and Germany was forced to weaken the Eastern front to take hold of Central Italy.
CV 90: Swedish Quality
Some Swedish vehicles of the Cold War era are pretty hard to assign to a specific class. People still argue whether the Strv 103 MBT should be considered an SPG or not, and the Strv 74 is sitting in a weird gray area between light and medium tanks. That said, the Stridsfordon 90 is clearly a standard Western IFV – and we mean it in the best way possible: Swedish engineers managed to create one of the best vehicles of its class and it can be considered the golden standard of modern IFVs in more ways than one.
