On November 3rd, 1918, Austria-Hungary capitulated in World War I, its territorial concessions allowing Italy to complete its reunification that began way back in the middle of the XIX century. Thus November 4th, the day that the armistice went into effect, is celebrated as National Unity and Armed Forces Day. Italians were celebrating it before Mussolini’s rise to power, during his premiership and after where it’s the only holiday to have remained in effect for the past century.

[h2]

From November 4th (11:00 GMT) until November 7th (07:00 GMT)

[/h2]

[h3]Play 3 battles using Italian vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “The Heart of Italy” decal.[/h3]



“The Heart of Italy” decal.

You can find the decal in the “Holidays” tab in the Customisation menu.
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 → Italian National Unity Day.


During the event the tank destroyer M43 "G.C. Leoncello" from the Italian research tree will be available for purchase with Golden Eagles. It has durable front armor and a powerful gun that’s able to easily take out your opponents. Just remember to find cover during long reload times!



Note: War Thunder anniversary discounts do not apply to the M43 "G.C. Leoncello".

Until 20:00 GMT on the 14th of November - get a gift decal “Approved by Wiki: M-51 (W)” with the purchase of M-51 (W) Pack.

[/h3]



Call it simply “Super Sherman”! Israel’s design prowess also affected the legendary American M4 Sherman by turning the compact medium tank into a platform for the monster 105mm cannon from the French AMX-30.

All other minor modifications pale into insignificance against this gun. Obviously the tactics in the M-51 (W) should be appropriate - you are an excellent covering fighter who is guaranteed to take out several enemy tanks in a battle.

For those who are researching Israeli vehicles, love Shermans in all their manifestations or just like vehicles of unusual shapes and sizes. About the rest we are telling you in the review!


“Approved by Wiki: M-51 (W)” — unique decal for each new vehicle.
