Happy July 4th: A Tank, Fighter, and a Decal for US Independence Day!

Download Wallpaper:

Happy July 4th! The whole world knows when the USA celebrates Independence Day, it’s today, July 4th, a holiday! We’re joining the celebrations with a unique decal and some rarer Golden Eagle vehicles for purchase.

The F-86F-35 and M26E1 are temporarily available for Golden Eagles!

The F-86F-35 and M26E1 are available on this day for 9,270 and 7,480 Golden Eagles respectively!

When: From today until July 8th (09:00 GMT).

Where: USA > Aviation / Army > Premium vehicles.

The F-86F-35 Sabre boasts good speed, fast acceleration and impressive maneuverability compared to its contemporaries. This jet is capable of performing as a duelist as well as a ground attacker in ground battles thanks to its selection of bombs and rockets!

The M26E1 is an experimental variant of the M26 Pershing armed with a 90 mm T54 gun. The penetration of this gun allows the M26E1 to match the firepower of heavy tanks while closely maintaining the mobility of a medium tank!

Reminds me of the camos they put on ships in WW1 to break up the silhouette.

Lol yeah

@Stona_WT
Can we get an update on these enormous modelling mistakes that haven’t been addressed in months?

Relative to the Abrams tanks, a prominent nation’s Top Tier MBT family:

1- Wrong fuel tank bulkhead thickness and geometry:

2- Wrong turret ring geometry and thickness:

3- TUSK not being removable from SEPv2:

Baden’s mantlet bug has been here ever since the ship was introduced to the game, I can’t understand how it hasn’t been fixed yet despite having been “acknowledged” twice.

Then there’s the M735 matter. It was artificially nerfed on what the devs immediately acknowledged as a wrong bug report with mistaken information. Yet they still needed it and did not apply the fox that has been warranted for several months.

A technical moderator made a correct bug report shortly after M735 was needed due to the wrong one… yet no fix in sight.

Also the numerous missing spall liners on tanks like the Challenger 2/3s (lower front plate), the Leclercs or pretty much every Rank VIII Chinese MBT. Or the present day Merkava Mk.4 having worse armor than IPM1/Leopard 2A4/T-72A, etc.

This is the kind of bugs many of us check every changelog in hopes of finding fixed. They have an enormous impact on the game and it’s incredibly disappointing to see them not addressed or corrected for months, and months, and months.

It’s funny how the M26E1 is simply a M26 with a better gun, at the same BR of 6.7

Yea i was looking at that, and i thought about getting it, but i don’t think its the tank for me.

Yeah, same honestly.

The tech tree T26E1-1 is superior, as it not only has a long 90mm gun, but extra armor also.

And it too sits at 6.7… funny how that works.

When vehicles with significant technical disparity sit at the same BR, maybe that’s a sign that the system isn’t working right
