Pilots and tankers, the last month of summer will be a month to remember. We’re announcing the start of a big new event: Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. Four new premium vehicles straight from the testing grounds, new decals and other prizes for the best warriors in the skies and on the ground!

"Operation S.U.M.M.E.R." will run from July 22nd to August 22nd Get premium vehicles from Testing Ground "113", decorations, decals and other prizes!

Open the mission calendar for the Task list! The military arts never stop changing. Somewhere on the front line, shells are firing and turrets are torn off turret rings. Off to the side, engineers strive night and day to perfect their fighting machines: new engines and weapons are developed and armour is strengthened. The results of their efforts are now perfectly tangible. Soldiers, HQ has received prototypes of military vehicles from Testing Ground 113. This testing ground specializes in a wide array of tasks, from testing the newest prototype ground vehicles and aircraft to benchmarking power trains and complex equipment. Each of these vehicles has its own story: from the famous ‘Uhu’ reconnaissance aircraft that became a test platform for the latest aircraft engines, to a new development: the KV-220 heavy tank, worthy of inheriting the laurel of Kliment Voroshilov, surpassing it in armour, power and armament. The appearance of these vehicles clearly reflects the titanic effort spent on designing and upgrading them. Months in the tender care of mechanics has also left its mark: all testing ground vehicles perform at their peak characteristics as soon as the engine is first started, and their genius engineers have given the vehicles premium status. There’s a reason these vehicles have been deployed. There is a task at hand: to test these prototype vehicles in real battle conditions with minimal losses. Only the most experienced crews will be able to handle this challenge. Command has decided to distribute the vehicles amongst the best soldiers who have shown their outstanding skills on the battlefield. Now is the time to prove that you are worthy of discovering all the potential of a brand new weapon. You don’t even have to choose – you can get all these vehicles at once by participating in a new operation, codenamed ‘S.U.M.M.E.R.’! Naturally, there are going to be other useful gifts from the home front too. New decals and other rewards await the event’s participants. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335847 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335856 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335878 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335885 Military camouflages are also available for all the Testing Ground 113 vehicles presented here. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335896 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335914 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335938 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729335955
