On January 14th 1521, Gustav Vasa formed his personal guard. Two and a half years later, he achieved independence of Sweden and became its first king, with his guard becoming part of the victorious army. Sweden, a century later thanks to its army, became one of the most powerful empires in Europe.

• The SAV 20.12.48 is an experimental Tank Destroyer featuring a 120 mm automatkanon that is capable of firing every 1.2 seconds thanks to an automatic loading system. This tank is overall characterized by high mobility and maneuverability — combining this with its gun and APCBC round makes the SAV 20.12.48 a fierce force to be reckoned with!

For the Swedish Armed Forces day, you’ll also be able to earn this awesome decal.

• A bug that caused duplicate smoke effects after using smoke grenades has been fixed.
  
• A destroyed module no longer covers other functioning modules in the damage module indicator while in battle.
  
• Absence of the “rate of fire” parameter for non-automatic guns and the “reload time” parameter for automatic guns when viewing ships in X-ray view in the hangar has been fixed. (Report)

• Challenger and Leopard 1 — the sounds of the engines have been improved in accordance with feedback from players. Now, constant revolutions are better audible and are better combined with the sounds of revving.
  
• A bug that caused flares to sound like jet engines when flying through them has been fixed.
  
• Challenger 3 TD — the engine sound has been changed to the same as Challenger tanks, as it previously had the sound of the Leopard 2’s engine, which was incorrect.

• Flickering of trees in the aircraft hangar has been fixed.

• The “Film Lover” achievement has been removed, as it was impossible to complete it on console.

On December 30th 1947, the MiG-15 jet fighter took off for the first time, later becoming one of the most popular jet fighters in history. The MiG-15 was actively used to protect Warsaw Pact countries and showed itself well especially in the Korean War.

• The MiG-15bis ISH is a modification of the MiG-15 and is distinguished by bomb holders placed on the pylons. This increases the number of available weapons for the MiG-15bis ISh, all while maintaining a high top speed and good rate of climb, meaning this aircraft is excellent for ground attacks. In addition, this aircraft is equipped with capable guns that tear apart enemy aircraft when hit!

William Arthur Shomo was an American reconnaissance pilot during the Battle of Luzon. On January 11th 1945, during one of his flights, Shomo noticed a squadron of Japanese fighters escorting a bomber. Despite being outnumbered, he went on to attack and after six minutes shot down seven enemy aircraft (with his wingman hitting three more), becoming an “Ace in a Day”. For this feat he was promoted to major and received the Medal of Honor.

On January 1st 1945, the Luftwaffe began its last large-scale operation with the purpose to support the Wehrmacht ground offensive in the Ardennes. The operation was conducted in such secrecy that some planes were shot down by German air defense. Many Allied planes were hit on the ground, but these losses were made up within a week — Germany lost over 200 pilots and never recovered.

The largest tank battle of the Iran-Iraq War took place from January 5th to 9th 1981 near the city of Dezful in Southwestern Iran. Iran’s superior armored forces advanced the attack hoping to push out Iraqi troops. However the numerical advantage was not high enough, and the Iranians also lacked artillery support, coordination with the air force, and even fuel and ammunition. The Iraqis lured enemy troops into a trap and subsequently defeated them.

On January 9th 1945, the battle for the Philippine island of Luzon began and lasted until the very end of the war. Japanese troops fought to the end, suffering huge losses. At the end of the battle, only a number of small scattered groups remained, leading guerrilla resistance in the jungles.

From January 13th to January 27th 1945 the Allies pushed out the last remnants of the Wehrmacht from the border of the Netherlands and Germany. The operation, named after the black grouse bird, was carried out mainly by British troops near the confluence of the Ruhr and Meuse rivers. As a result, the bulge at the front occupied by German forces was eliminated.

The blockade of Leningrad, which began in September 1941 cut off the city from receiving fuel and food supplies. The Soviet Army made many attempts to lift the blockade but until January 1943 these attempts were all unsuccessful. Finally, as part of Operation Iskra, troops of the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts managed to unite on January 19th. By the beginning of February, a road and railway were built to the city, where Leningrad began to receive supplies again.

During the Italian Campaign, Anglo-American forces landed and fortified themselves in the city of Anzio, located on the west coast of Italy behind the heavily fortified Gustav Line. The landing command did not dare to advance further, but Anzio remained under Allied control until the victory at Monte Cassino.

In 1945 Soviet troops were already advancing through German territories. At the end of January, the 4th Army of the Wehrmacht was surrounded near the city of Heiligenbeil in East Prussia. After two months of fierce fighting, it was completely destroyed with German command refusing to evacuate it.

The first major land battle of the Gulf War. On January 29th 1991, Iraqi troops, hoping to draw the international coalition forces into exhausting ground clashes, attacked Saudi Arabia taking the city of Khafji. However, lacking air cover they were driven out of the city within two days after suffering noticeably heavy losses.
