Reward for completing all 8 tasks



Special profile icon of Charles Upham


This simple farmer from New Zealand had shown such heroism during battles with Axis powers on Crete and in Egypt that he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military award of Great Britain, twice. Upham fearlessly rushed the enemy fortifications, cleared the machine gun nests with grenades, and kept leading his squad into battle even after being seriously wounded. Due to these brave actions, he became the most highly decorated soldier of the British Commonwealth of Nations.

July 1st July 4th


First Battle of El Alamein


Throughout the entirety of July 1942 the Axis powers and the forces of the British Commonwealth from the entire world fought under the blazing sun of Africa. Both sides tried to unseat each other from their positions, performed risky attacks and suffered considerable losses, but in the end the prolonged battle ended in a stalemate. Nevertheless, the Allies managed to stop field marshal Rommel's advance towards Alexandria.

July 5th July 8th


Siauliai Offensive


Siauliai is the fourth largest city of Lithuania, and also the namesake of the operation to expel the German forces from the Baltic states that took place in July 1944. This operation lasted an entire month, and in the end the Red Army retook the Baltic Sea coast, freed most of Latvia and Lithuania and divided the Wehrmacht's forces, cutting off Army Group North from Army Group Centre.

July 9th July 12th


Allied Invasion of Sicily


On the night of July 9-10th, 1943, the Allies began a massive amphibious and airborne operation to retake Sicily from the Axis powers, which would serve as a precursor to the invasion of Normandy a year later. The Allied forces landed in Sicily and after a battle that lasted for weeks managed to capture over a hundred thousand Italian soldiers. The success of this operation led to a regime change in Rome: Benito Mussolini was ousted from power, and the new Italian government surrendered to the Allies.

July 12th July 15th


Battle of Prokhorovka


On July 12th, 1943, one of the largest tank battles in history took place near the Prokhorovka station in Belgorod oblast, Russia. The German forces wanted to pierce through the Soviet defenses and take Prokhorovka, while the Red Army planned to surround the enemy group. Both sides suffered heavy losses and neither managed to reach their goals. Still, the Wehrmacht's advance was stalled.

July 15th July 19th


Operation Goodwood


Operation Goodwood was a part of a prolonged battle for the city of Caen in Normandy, France. The British forces intended to capture it right on D-Day, but the Germans kept a hold on the city even after a month and a half after the Allies landed in Normandy. So Operation Goodwood began with a massive bombing, followed by shelling of the German positions. And yet, because of poor coordination, the British tanks moved slowly and without due cover, and thus they took heavy losses and did not manage to capture the city.

July 20th July 23rd


Battle of Guam (1944)


The operation to retake Guam, the largest of Mariana Islands, began on July 21nd, 1944. Despite fierce resistance from the Japanese soldiers who refused to surrender and endless rainfalls, the US troops took the island in three weeks. Guam then became the base for further operations in the Pacific Theater: advances towards the Philippines and Taiwan, as well as aerial attacks on Japan's own territory.

July 24th July 27th


Operation Mersad


The last big military operation of the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988. The renegade Iranian militant group called Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) advanced into Iranian Kurdistan with the support of the Iraqi army. But the Iraqi stopped halfway, and without air cover, the MEK forces were helpless before the Iranian air forces. After aerial attacks, the remaining MEK troops were surrounded and defeated by the Iranian army.

July 28th July 31st


First Rzhev-Sychev Operation


In the summer of 1942 the Soviet army, having stopped Wehrmacht's Army Group Center under Rzhev, tried to mount a counteroffensive. Bloody battles were fought over every inch of land: the Red Army lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the "Rzhev Meat Grinder", having gained almost nothing. The German forces retreated from under Rzhev far later in 1943, after the Axis powers were defeated on other fronts.

  • Available DLCs

  • War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.

    War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.

    You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!

    In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.

    Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
