[Test] Large Scale Naval battles in the English Channel - "La Manche" Event



La Manche events for aircraft and naval vessels


Commanders and pilots, we invite you to try out large-scale battles in a huge 900 square kilometers! Show your naval captain skills, avoid enemy fire and send deadly shells towards the enemy from large distances whilst sharing your impressions for the new mission!

IMPORTANT CHANGES:
  • Cruiser spawn locations have been moved much closer to the capture point
  • The capture speed of the point has been reduced.
  • Boats and other light vessels have been removed. (We are exploring further options for them).
  • Operation H.E.A.T tasks can be completed in this mode.


The test will be held from 17:00 GMT on the 2nd of August until 07:00 GMT on the 5th of August.

Battles will take place in the AB and RB game modes in the location “La Manche” for fleet and aircraft at BR 3.7 - BR 5.7 in the [Battle] mission - capture the enemy key point after taking control of two secondary points.

Testing may be canceled earlier than the specified date.

When we’re making videos with any sort of a top list, they are usually about different vehicles of War Thunder. This is not one of those videos; today we’ll be speaking about ammunition — or, more precisely, about tank shells with the biggest penetration rates.

[Special] Operation H.E.A.T.



How is the water, warriors? It is very important because, this summer, we will meet our comrades-in-arms - the commanders of naval vessels who will join our tankers and pilots in the big summer event. The H.E.A.T. begins!

Changes in the award mechanic (medals)

Whilst there will be more medals available for all nations, their rarity, and hence their value will increase significantly.

In one of the larger upcoming updates the number of medals in our game will be increased from 65 to 186 in total across all nations. France has already received new medals in one of our previous updates and now it is time to add medals for other nations too. For those nations we will add new medals whilst older medals will receive updated conditions or may be removed where they don’t correspond to design.
Old medals

We have completely revised the design of older medals; the requirements for their receipt, their appearance and have ranked them in order of precedence.

If you already own the medal - it will remain with you. Some older and incompatible to the design medals have been removed but the bonuses for their receipt will stay with you.

Take advantage of the time remaining before the changes are completed if you were planning to own one of the existing medals.
New medals

These will be a truly valuable achievement and adornment in your profile in the eyes of other players. You will still be able to unlock the easier medals but the more significant achievements will require skill, concentration and time - the requirements to own them will be increased.

Updated medals will now be placed in order of precedence as is customary with the medal rules of all nations. The More valuable medals and orders will open a unique in-game title to the owner.
Hold your medals in great esteem and honour!
