    On July 14th, 1789, Parisians stormed the Bastille — a prison fortress that became one of the symbols of French absolute monarchy. Since 1880 this date has been celebrated as the main national holiday in France, with an annual military parade held on Champs-Élysées, one of the oldest and largest in the entire world.

    Milan and S.O.4050 Vautour IIN for Golden Eagles

    From July 14th (12:00 GMT) until July 17th (12:00 GMT)

    The premium French jets Milan and S.O.4050 Vautour IIN will be available for Golden Eagles.

    Milan

    The Milan is an experimental version of the Mirage fighter that can reach amazing speeds and outrun most of the aircraft on its BR. It can drop bombs while maintaining speeds of over Mach 1, and also carry rockets and AGMs — it can also drop all its tanks to increase aerial performance: even without suspended weaponry, its DEFA cannons are a force to be reckoned with!

    S.O.4050 Vautour IIN

    The S.O.4050 Vautour IIN is a jet bomber, the bane of enemy bases. It can also fend for itself with the same four 30 mm DEFA cannons, and its wide assortment of suspended weaponry includes AA-20 Nord AGMs with proximity fuze. Also, if the skies are covered by your teammates, take AS-30 Nord AGMs to leave ground vehicles with no chance of survival!


    “Cocarde de France” decal

    From July 14th (10:00 GMT) until July 17th (10:00 GMT)

    Play 3 battles using French vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “Cocarde de France” decal.


    “Cocarde de France” decal

    Complete the task in random battles, except for Enduring Confrontation missions and [Assault] mode. Track your progress in the hangar by clicking Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → Bastille Day.

    You can find the decal in the “Holidays” tab in the Customisation menu.

    Dear players!

    Not long ago we implemented Unicode nickname support in the game, while new Steam players now immediately get nicknames similar to their Steam nicks with some limitations.

    During some technical work on standardizing the existing nickname display, we gained a malfunction leading to the reset of nicknames with some Steam players to nicknames based on their Steam nick.

    This issue might also affect some of the Gaijin-accounts already linked to a Steam profile.

    We didn't plan to change the nicknames of Steam players who previously changed their in-game Nickname and within 24 hours we will try and roll back these changes for all players in order to return the nicknames or provide the opportunity to change the nickname for free.

    We apologize for any inconvenience. We will do our best to fix this problem as soon as possible!

    On July 12th, 1961 A-4E, a highly modernized version of the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk carrier-capable light attack aircraft, took to the skies for the first time. The A-4E boasts a new, more powerful engine, tactical air navigation system, strengthened airframe with additional weapon pylons, toss-bombing computer, and low-altitude bombing system. Around 500 units were produced, and their number one importer was Israel.



    From July 12th (12:00 GMT) until July 14th (12:00 GMT)
    The A-4E attack aircraft from the Israeli research tree will be available for purchase for Golden Eagles. A-4E isn’t the fastest aircraft of its rank, but it’s quite maneuverable and extremely versatile thanks to its amazing selection of suspended weaponry. It’s also equipped with two 30 mm DEFA 553 cannons — powerful and accurate, allowing for quick and comfortable victories over enemy aircraft. 50 mm of bulletproof glass will save the life of the pilot, while countermeasures and RWR will help survive missile attacks.
