⭐️Legend of Victory: KV-8

We’re pleased to introduce another Legend of Victory event! Tank #445 bearing the inscription “Suvorov” was a part of the 508rd Separate Flamethrower Tank Battalion. Get this tank, its inscriptions as decals, and the FOG-2 flamethrower as a decoration in a new event commemorating the anniversary of the Allied Victory!

📆From May 6th (11:00 GMT) until May 18th (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Ground Battles, unlock stages and receive rewards!

🚩KV-8 — A Premium Heavy Tank for the USSR at Rank II

Development of a flamethrower variant of the KV heavy tank began in 1941. Initially, the flamethrower was intended to be mounted in the hull. However, a twin turret mount was later developed to house a cannon, flamethrower, and machine gun. In January 1942, the KV-8 tank passed trials and entered serial production; by the end of the year, over 100 vehicles had been built. In War Thunder, the new KV-8 is premium heavy tank with a flamethrower and a rapid-fire 45 mm cannon. The tank’s main advantage will be its high level of protection, ensuring good survivability under fire from guns of various calibers. This is especially important for a tank designed for close combat, as the flamethrower and relatively weak 45 mm cannon require close combat to be effective.

⭐️Monthly Decals for May!

Hey everyone! As we’re shuffling along through May we’re pleased to bring you another batch of historical decals! Some shields, paintings, inscriptions and badges, the full monty! We particularly like the rare French pinup BB Girl, and the highly detailed nose art of ace Vasily Isaev, recreated expertly by Fenris, one of our decal artists.

A note for the Gepard, currently it’s not possible to place a decal on the radar as the material is not decal-able (we’ve applied it to the skin for the screenshot), we’ll edit this part of the model sometime in the future so decals can be placed on the radar.

🏪The following decals are available from May 13th (11:00 GMT) until June 11th (09:00 GMT).

❗️All tasks can be completed using vehicles that are rank III or higher.

All of the emblems will come with a detailed description. This will generally consist of the history of the marking, its design, which vehicles used it, and where it was often placed on vehicles historically if applicable (some emblems are taken from badges, which weren’t always applied). This way you can more easily recreate the original positioning if you’d like.

That’s all for today, we hope you like the May selection! We’re all hard at work on the next major update at the moment, so expect lots more news on upcoming vehicles soon. In the meantime, enjoy collecting the set this month and we’ll be back in June for more!
