T86 — A Premium Light Tank for the USA at Rank III

In 1944, a prototype of the M18 was converted into a special amphibious variant in the United States. The hull and turret were modified to provide amphibious capabilities, with the size of the vehicle increasing significantly and the armor being reduced. What came from this was the T86, which retained good mobility and firepower. This conversion remained at testing only, but the experience gained from it was further used in attempts to create an amphibious fire support vehicle.

Among the rewards in the event is also this chest. When opened, there is a chance to receive one of the following items:

  • 50,000 - 100,000 Silver Lions
  • Silver Lion and Research Point boosters
  • Random Wagers and Orders
  • Universal Backups (1 - 3)
  • A random camouflage for a vehicle you own
  • 1 day of Premium Account

How to get all rewards

Each stage can be obtained for 35,000 mission points, where every new stage obtained will give you a new reward.

Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Normandy ‘44” and click the “Get Reward” button.

You’re able to earn mission points in Ground Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.

You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.

Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on June 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and 15th.

Rewards are given when you complete a specific number of stages

  • For 1 Stage: trophy with a random reward
  • For 2 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  • For 3 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  • For 4 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  • For 5 Stages: “Johnson machine gun” decoration
  • For 6 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the T86

Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles

Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.

Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 30,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 349 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 33,500 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 139 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!

The “Upgrade for coupon”

When you complete 6 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the T86, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from June 5th (11:00 GMT) until June 17th (11:00 GMT) for 500,000 mission points.

After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.

To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon T86 (USA)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until June 20th (11:00 GMT). Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.

You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Normandy ‘44. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until June 20th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.

Will this retain the same ~10km/h as most other amphibious vehicles in-game or will this be faster?

It’s a pity it’s not the Sherman DD. I really wanted it I’d even be happy with the Valentine DD.
This vehicle from the event has nothing to do with the Normandy landings at all.

Even the Johnson rifle or machine gun was from the Pacific or Italy Theater.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to replace it with an M1 Garand equipped with a grenade launcher?

Hellcat on it?

Normandy '44 event
Look inside
Tank which wasn’t even properly finished before end of the war

And on top of that it’s float tank, which has no use in the game, because river in Berlin is now redzone, and Eastern Europe has entire other side as red zone.

An interesting, unique vehicle, but despite being rank III, it still requires 6 stages, compared to 7 stages for both previous rank V planes. In my opinion, that just does not feel as justifiable amount of grind for the reward.

It was already confirmed that Naval events are going to come during summer just as last year ones.

I think they are doing separate articles for it now.

Cool tank!

I think some doubters here overlook the stabilizer, which along with the mobility (almost as good as regular M18) will make this surprisingly good on land

“It was already confirmed that gaijin are liars who break their own promises”, yeah, good, now what?

Can y’all stop hosting events next to my exams please
