War Thunder’s player event Operation H.E.A.T. is available now
Starting from today the 2nd of August, until the 26th of August, War Thunder players can try their luck in the player event called Operation H.E.A.T. Players will need to complete in-game tasks in battle to access six new and exclusive vehicles as well as camouflages and decals. The new vehicles have historical and tactical significance, check out the list below for more information.
- BT-7 (F-32): In 1939, a single BT-7 light tank was equipped with the 76 mm F-32 tank cannon for testing purposes. The high speed of the BT-7 (F-32) allows players to outmaneuver their enemies, while the upgraded high-caliber cannon can take on most enemies in low-rank battles head on.
- P-59A Airacomet: The P-59A is the very first American jet fighter. Developed during World War II, it was never used in real combat. In War Thunder, the Airacomet will finally be able to prove its worth on Rank IV, fighting alongside top piston-engined aircraft which are more or less equal in combat strength.
- AUBL/74 HVG: This modification of the powerful FIAT AUBL/74 is equipped with a high-velocity 60mm cannon featuring a two-plane stabilizer. Its light armor makes it a nimble opponent, able to snipe accurately at enemies over long distances.
- Bf 110C-6: The C-6 modification of Germany’s “Zerstörer” series of aircraft is part of a special program to outfit the Bf 110 fighter with a heavy cannon armament. Units outfitted with the C-6 were used during the Battle of France in anti-tank duty. In War Thunder, they will be a formidable force to deploy both against ground and large air targets, such as bombers.
- River-class Frigate: The Royal Navy’s River-class rose to reputation by escorting convoys, fighting Axis submarines and supporting ground troops during the D-Day landings. With cannons ranging from 20mm to 102mm, it is effective against aircraft and small warships.
- Shiratsuyu-class Destroyer Yūdachi: The Yuudachi was part of the famous “Tokyo Express”, which ran night-supply runs to the embattled Japanese forces on Guadalcanal. With five 127mm primary cannons and two four-barreled torpedo launchers, it is a formidable warship in War Thunder.
All these exclusive vehicles sound amazing, but the biggest question remains. How do you unlock these beauties? Players need to participate in regular Random Battles, where they can earn “Mark of Distinction” for tankers, pilots and captains. The prices for items is different, depending on the classes, but below is a list. Additionally, the coupons for vehicles can be used on your own account, or you can sell them to other players on the Gaijin Market.
