Happy July 4th: A Tank, Fighter, and a Decal for US Independence Day!



Happy July 4th! The whole world knows when the USA celebrates Independence Day, it’s today, July 4th, a holiday! We’re joining the celebrations with a unique decal and some rarer Golden Eagle vehicles for purchase.

[h3]The F-86F-35 and M26E1 are temporarily available for Golden Eagles![/h3]
The F-86F-35 and M26E1 are available on this day for 9,270 and 7,480 Golden Eagles respectively!

When: From today until July 8th (09:00 GMT).
Where: USA > Aviation / Army > Premium vehicles.


About each of these vehicles
  • The M26E1 is an experimental variant of the M26 Pershing armed with a 90 mm T54 gun. The penetration of this gun allows the M26E1 to match the firepower of heavy tanks while closely maintaining the mobility of a medium tank!
  • The F-86F-35 Sabre boasts good speed, fast acceleration and impressive maneuverability compared to its contemporaries. This jet is capable of performing as a duelist as well as a ground attacker in ground battles thanks to its selection of bombs and rockets!
