Better postures for tank commanders



The upcoming update already has a lot of new features for armored vehicles enthusiasts - the ability to repair modules from inside the vehicle, new realistic effects for the gunner's and commander's optics. But there is one more important improvement that we want to please you with, and it’s not just for tankers, but also for outside observers (watching through a sniper’s scope) - better placement of commanders looking out of the tank’s hatch.



Realistic positioning of hands on the hatch, holding the anti-aircraft machine gun’s grip, and simply adjusting the position of commanders in the hatches to make everything look natural.



This is just the beginning of the improvement process - we have already modified more than a dozen vehicles and will continue this process in the future, but you can already enjoy the changes.

P-47 Thunderbolt’s first flight



In early May 1941, the prototype of the P-47 fighter developed by Republic Aviation, designated XP-47B, flew for the first time and successfully passed its flight test.

Just a year later, in March 1942, the new P-47 fighters began rolling off the assembly line and entering service.

The Thunderbolt was known for its high top speed and its great potential for mounting suspended and offensive armaments. At the same time, the fighter turned out to be quite heavy and was inferior in maneuverability to many of its counterparts. The combination of these qualities determined its role in the USAAF: fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft.

More than 15,000 P-47s with various modifications were built during World War II, making it the most mass-produced American fighter aircraft in history!

From May 13th (13:00 UTC) to May 19th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.

For completing 5 out of the 9 tasks, you will receive a unique decal for aircraft (only for US aircraft), and for 7 completed tasks, a unique portrait!

Temporarily available: Unique premium squads for the USSR and USA



On the night of May 8th, 1945, the document that marked the unconditional victory of the Allied forces over Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe came into effect.

From May 8th (13:00 UTC) to May 12th (13:00 UTC), several unique premium squads for the Allies will temporarily return to the shop for Gold!

Premium squads for the USSR



[h3]Assaulters with PPD-40 DSZ (BR IV)[/h3]
The squad consists of 4 soldiers armed with a rare variant of the PPD-40, produced by Shipyard No. 202 in Vladivostok, and there is an extra slot for an engineer. This submachine gun is distinguished by its muzzle device, a muzzle brake and compensator and the possibility of installing the SVT-40 bayonet.

[h3]Engineers with SKS-31 (BR II)[/h3]
A squad of 4 engineers armed with a prototype self-loading carbine of the Simonov system. From the outside, it already closely resembles the final version of the SKS, adopted for service in 1949, except that its 7.62x54R cartridge is completely different, making it a full-fledged rifle. The integral 5-round magazine can be loaded with stripper clips or one cartridge at a time.

Premium squads for the USA



[h3]Assaulters with UD M42 (BR II)[/h3]
A 5 soldier squad: 4 assaulters and an engineer with a wide range of buildable structures, armed with a uniquely designed American submachine gun with a double magazine. The small magazine capacity is compensated by fast reload times and overall low recoil.

[h3]Fighter pilot with Tempest MK.V (BR V)[/h3]
A British fighter with four 20 mm Hispano Mk.V cannons and two 500 lb bombs. This versatile armament allows it to provide both air support for the infantry and easily deal with enemy aircraft.

Reinforcements received: Arsenal of Victory!



In the "Reinforcements received" events, you’ll upgrade your army with unique and well-armed squads, rare weapons, vehicles and always-useful items. Main rewards will help you unlock content that normally takes more time to reach in a regular lineup.

In April 1945, the troops of the 69th Infantry Division and the 5th Guards Army met at Torgau on the Elbe river, splitting the Third Reich in two as the Soviet forces completed the encirclement of Berlin. Soon afterwards, in May, the enemy finally fell. Different countries celebrate the end of war on different days: on May 8th in most European countries (Victory in Europe Day), and on May 9th in several countries of the former USSR (Victory Day). To this day, it remains the common holiday for many people around the world.

We are joining the celebrations and have prepared new tools for the Allies that will help them to win their battles. Both the US and USSR armies are getting some serious weapons - an airplane, a tank and effective weapons for the infantry!

From May 7th (13:00 UTC) to June 4th (13:00 UTC), get battle score in battles and move up the rewards ladder! You have two days to complete each task!

Rewards


You'll get rewards during the whole event, and the further you progress through it, the more valuable they'll become. You can easily skip a few tasks and still get the main rewards!



Main Rewards


As you complete stages, you will receive several rare weapons and unique vehicles for your armies!


[h3]Whirlwind Mk I[/h3]
This British heavy fighter with its powerful offensive and suspended armament will be a useful and versatile machine over the battlefield!

Four 20 mm Hispano Mk. I cannons against enemy aircraft and for ground targets, two 500 lb bombs.

The aircraft comes without a squad and is available for the Marine Attack Squadron 231 squad (Attacker Pilot I).


[h3]T-34-100[/h3]
One of the most dangerous modifications of the T-34 tank, equipped with a 100 mm LB-1 cannon.

Engineers could hardly fit such a gun into the turret, but it was worth it!

The BR-412B APHEBC shell can consistently penetrate even the well-armored front of the King Tiger’s turret from a distance. At the same time, the cannon reloads faster than its 122 mm counterpart.

The tank comes without a squad and is available for the 99th Tank Brigade squad (Tanker II).


[h3]PPS-42 (Red)[/h3]
Traditionally, during the event in May, you have the chance to get a rare oxidized PPS-42.

The reddish-brown color of bluing was very rare, as it is a consequence of a deviation from the strict standards for the oxidation of finished weapon components. Although it is as reliable as the usual black finish, it gives the weapon a very unusual appearance.


[h3]Thompson .30 cal SMG[/h3]
In the early 1940s, Thompson built several prototypes based on the M1928 submachine gun using the .30 Carbine cartridge, hoping to compete with the M1 Carbine using the same caliber.

The Thompson .30 cal SMG has the same high rate of fire, low recoil, and comfortable sights as the standard model, except that it hits much harder!

Terms
  • Tasks are updated every two days at 13:00 UTC, and the scoring starts again. Be sure to collect your reward before then, if you have managed to accumulate the required number of battle points, otherwise the task will not count.
  • The task can be completed in the Squads mode.
  • From June 4th (13:00 UTC) to June 6th (13:00 UTC), after the end of the event, you will have the opportunity to purchase any missing rewards for Gold.

Distortion effect for tank sights



In the upcoming update, tankers will look at the world through even more realistic sights, with all their advantages and disadvantages. We have reproduced the realistic distortions that the lenses of the gunner's and commander's observation devices have.

This effect isn’t fully finalized yet, and we're still tweaking it based on your feedback from the test server, but even in its current version, it makes vehicles (and engineering guns!) more immersive and Enlisted even more realistic.
