Every year on the first Sunday in June, Canada celebrates Armed Forces Day. At the start of the First World War, the Canadian Armed forces had just 3,500 men, but by the end of the war with conscription announced, they expanded to 400,000. 24,000 of these took part in battles in Europe. The conscription for the Second World War was even larger, with more than a million Canadians serving and of these, 42,000 died in combat. Currently, the Canadian Armed Forces have just over 90,000 personnel.

In honor of Canadian Armed Forces Day, we’ve created a special video in the Moments of Valor series, exclusive bundles with premium vehicles and unique camouflages, as well as a pre-order pack for the Northrop NF-5A.

Special offers in the Gaijin Store

Unique packs with camouflages are currently in the Gaijin.net store. Plus, on June 1st, pre-orders for a pack with the NF-5A will start, where it will be available to be pre-ordered until the release of the Leviathans major update!

Note! You can also get the titles if you already have all the vehicles from the bundle and play 3 battles with each of them from June 1st to 9th (09:00 GMT).

The following camouflages (including the ones created by War Thunder Live users) have been permanently added to the game for Golden Eagles:

• Sabre Skyblazers (USA, Rank V): camouflage of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), aerobatic flying team 'Golden Hawks'.
• F/A-18С Early (USA, Rank VIII): camouflage for the 60th anniversary of the 425th Squadron, Canadian Air Force
• Leopard 2A4M CAN (Germany, Rank VII): modern forest camouflage
• P-51D-20-NA (USA, Rank IV): “P-51D '9569', Royal Canadian Air Force” camouflage
• P-400 (USA, Rank II): “Royal Canadian Air Force, Test and Development Establishment, Air Force Headquarters, 1941” camouflage
• C2A1 (Germany, Rank VI): “1st Troop 2nd Battalion, Lord Strathcona’s Horse, Royal Canadian Battle Group, JTF, Afghanistan” camouflage

HMCS Haida and Stuart VI (5th CAD) are temporarily available for Golden Eagles!

HMCS Haida (Britain, rank III) is available for 4,880 Golden Eagles and the Stuart VI (5th CAD) (USA, rank II) is available for 700 Golden Eagles!

• HMCS Haida is a veteran of the Second World War, escorting convoys to the USSR and taking part in the Allied landings in Normandy. It holds the record among Canadian ships for the tonnages of sunken enemies. Compared to other destroyers in the game, it’s slow but well armed, with a solid anti-aircraft battery and deadly torpedoes.

• The 5th Canadian Armored Division fought in Italy and participated in the invasion of Germany. The Stuart VI light tank can accelerate to 58 km/h and with an experienced crew can reload its 37 mm gun in less than 3 seconds. Its short-stop stabilizer helps when shooting, and its armor is thin.

The Ram II is at a discount!

• The Ram II (Britain, rank II) is available at a 50% discount for 576 Golden Eagles.

• The Canadian Ram II was used during the Second World War. Featuring decent armor and smoke grenades, its enemies are ready to be met by a 57 mm gun with good armor penetration!
