Hello everyone! Thanks for checking in for another round of monthly decals, we hope you liked the selection last month!

Thank you for leaving your suggestions on the forum and in the comments, this month we brought back a few previous decals you requested, and the decal for Italy was suggested by a player too. We look at all of the suggestions that you leave, so if you have some interesting examples be sure to make a post and we’ll take a look!

🏪The following decals will be available from June 6th (11:00 GMT) until July 7th (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.

We hope you like these historical decal events and enjoy the selection for June, thank you for all of your comments and suggestions, we’ll see you next month!

🇮🇹RN Geniere, Discounts and a New Decal for Italian Navy Day!

The Royal Italian Navy was founded shortly after the unification of the country on March 17th 1861. A significant part of it was made up of the navies of the kingdoms of Naples and Sardinia. For a long time, they were significantly disunited, and only in 1881 was a common Naval Academy opened in Livorno. By the beginning of the 20th century, Italy was already a serious naval power, capable of confronting Austria-Hungary in the Adriatic Sea. It was there on June 10th 1917 that an Italian motor torpedo boat sank the dreadnought SMS Szent István, and in honor of this victory, Italian Navy Day was established.

Its arsenal is universal, featuring a powerful anti-aircraft battery, depth charges, powerful torpedoes and 120 mm guns, ready to fire every 7.5 seconds with a well-trained crew.

▪️RN Leonardo da Vinci may not be fast, but it packs an impressive punch. This ship boasts 305 mm guns with semi-armor-piercing shells that carry a huge amount of explosives.

🚤The T31, Z20 and a Decal for German Navy Day!

The first attempt to create a unified German fleet was made on June 14th 1848 against the backdrop of the Danish-German War. The attempt was not very successful, and Germany lost the war. After the dissolution of the fleet, some of the ships went to Prussia, and on the basis of the Prussian Navy, the naval forces of the German Empire were formed in 1871. The modern German Navy continues to celebrate this day on June 14th.
