Reward for completing all 8 tasks



Gregory Boyington


A fighter ace who fought in WWII against Japan in the US volunteer group, the Flying Tigers, where he was a flight leader. Later he joined the US Marine Corps, where he was nicknamed "Pappy" on account of his age (he was 30). In two years Boyington downed 26 enemy planes, but was shot down in early 1944, and spent the rest of the war in captivity.

December 1st December 4th


Bernhardt Line


The Bernhardt Line was the third defensive line the Wehrmacht built in Central Italy to defend from the advancing Allied forces. Unlike most other lines, it did not run across the entire Italy, but it included several strategic heights so the battle for the Bernhardt Line that started on December 1st, 1943, lasted for a month and a half.

December 5th December 8th


Battle for Moscow


On December 5th, 1941 the Soviet Army under Moscow began its major counteroffensive that the Wehrmacht wasnt prepared for. Rapid advance of the Red Army crushed the German forces and changed the course of the war. Blitzkrieg was over, and the German forces were pushed back over 100-200 km, having abandoned regional centers Kaluga and Tula.

December 9th December 12th


Operation Compass


In September of 1940 the Italian Army departed from Libya and took West Egypt, having pushed weak British forces from the region. But then the Italians stopped their advance, and yet havent mounted a good defense and havent established communication between their camps and posts. The Allies took advantage of that and in just four days, from December 9th to 12th, routed the Italian forces that were almost five times their numbers, and pushed them from Egypt.

December 12th December 15th


Operation Winter Storm


An attempt by the Axis powers to free General Paulus army from encirclement under Stalingrad lasted from December 12th to 24th of 1942. The German forces managed to get close to the Soviet circle, but took very heavy losses in the process, and they couldnt breach it by themselves, while Paulus had orders to hold the city, and not abandon it. Operation Winter Storm ended in failure.

December 16th December 19th


Ardennes Offensive


On December 16th, 1944 a large-scale counteroffensive was launched by the German Army on the western front. Germany aimed to crush the Allied forces to bargain for a ceasefire on its terms, but it fell into a trap. The Allies foresaw the attack, purposefully weakened their defenses in Ardennes, and when the Germans advanced, encircled them. The fighting lasted for a month and a half and, even though Germany lost it, the Battle of the Bulge became the bloodiest battle in the entire American history.

December 19th December 22nd


First combat mission of Flying Tigers


Major Claire Lee Chennault was an advisor in the Chinese Army during the early years of WWII. It was on his initiative that a squadron of American volunteer pilots was formed in China. It was named Flying Tigers and fought for the first time on December 20th, 1941. The Tigers were very effective at fighting the Japanese forces, but were disbanded and replaced by regular US forces in half a year.

December 23rd December 26th


Zhytomyr-Berdychiv Operation


The Dnieper-Carpathian offensive began on December 24th, 1943. The Axis powers were quite battered and lacked strategic reserves by that moment, and the Soviet Army went into offensive before the enemy could shore up its defenses. As a result of the ZhytomirBerdychiv offensive Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions were liberated, and a large portion of German forces was encircled under Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi.

December 27th December 31st


Operation Nordwind


The last major offensive by the Wehrmacht on the western front began on December 31st, 1944. The Ardennes offensive was on the brink of collapse, so the German command attempted to destroy a weakened American army in Alsace. After a long and bloody battle the American forces withdrew, but soon managed to stop the Germans advance. The operation was a failure.

  • 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.

    War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.

    • Right into the heat of battle - Intense PvP experiences in full-scale combat missions on various difficulty settings for all play styles and degrees of experience.
    • A single bullet can make a difference - A realistic damage system for aircraft and ground vehicles involving individual component durability instead of an overall health bar.
