Armed Forces Day in the United States is an important annual holiday, which this year fell on May 18th. It was first celebrated in 1950, combining and replacing the separate Army, Air Forces and Navy Days.

Celebrations are held in honor of all military personnel, including those defending the country's interests abroad. On this day, exhibitions, air shows, parades, and other festivities are traditionally held.

By celebrating this holiday, civilians show their support for the army. And for members of various service branches, this day represents the unity of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Welcome, commanders! In this minor update, we have improved the mechanics of bipod placement and their effectiveness.

AI soldiers have also become much smarter! They react faster to danger, take cover when wounded, have learned to strafe while shooting, choose cover more intelligently, and act more realistically in general.

Tankers can now repair the internal modules of their vehicles without leaving them; while gunners and commanders (as well as soldiers using engineering guns) can now see realistic distortion effects in their sights.

While you’re reading the full list of improvements, we’re already preparing for the upcoming major update.

• Added an additional slot for premium squads. This slot is optional and can be left empty.
  
• Improvements for bipods: weapons are now more stable and move more smoothly. Corrected angles of positioning on window sills.
  
• The camera position has been changed for the STEN submachine guns (Mk II, Mk III, Mk II(S), Austen Mk 1), now the camera is located further from the rear sight.
  
• Fixed the discrepancy between the recoil parameters of the M2 Hyde and other submachine gun class weapons, the recoil pattern is now more predictable and controllable.
  
• The perk point modifiers for the squad’s soldier type are now visible on the research screen, without having to open the squad details window.

The upcoming update already has a lot of new features for armored vehicles enthusiasts - the ability to repair modules from inside the vehicle, new realistic effects for the gunner's and commander's optics. But there is one more important improvement that we want to please you with, and it’s not just for tankers, but also for outside observers (watching through a sniper’s scope) - better placement of commanders looking out of the tank’s hatch.

Realistic positioning of hands on the hatch, holding the anti-aircraft machine gun’s grip, and simply adjusting the position of commanders in the hatches to make everything look natural.

This is just the beginning of the improvement process - we have already modified more than a dozen vehicles and will continue this process in the future, but you can already enjoy the changes.

In early May 1941, the prototype of the P-47 fighter developed by Republic Aviation, designated XP-47B, flew for the first time and successfully passed its flight test.

Just a year later, in March 1942, the new P-47 fighters began rolling off the assembly line and entering service.

The Thunderbolt was known for its high top speed and its great potential for mounting suspended and offensive armaments. At the same time, the fighter turned out to be quite heavy and was inferior in maneuverability to many of its counterparts. The combination of these qualities determined its role in the USAAF: fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft.

More than 15,000 P-47s with various modifications were built during World War II, making it the most mass-produced American fighter aircraft in history!

From May 13th (13:00 UTC) to May 19th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.

For completing 5 out of the 9 tasks, you will receive a unique decal for aircraft (only for US aircraft), and for 7 completed tasks, a unique portrait!

• Destroy 4 vehicles.
  
• Kill 100 enemies.
  
• Complete 4 battles.

Stage 2:

• Destroy 8 vehicles.
  
• Kill 60 enemies using a vehicle.
  
• Complete 6 battles.

Stage 3:

• Kill 120 enemies using a vehicle.
  
• Your rally points were used 30 times (including APCs).
  
• Complete 8 battles.

• The tasks can be completed in the Squads mode.
  
• The list of tasks is updated every two days at 13:00 UTC.
  
• Tasks can be completed simultaneously.
  
• Uncollected rewards will disappear when the tasks change.
  
• From May 19th to May 21st (13:00 UTC), after the end of the event, you will have the opportunity to purchase any missing rewards.

On the night of May 8th, 1945, the document that marked the unconditional victory of the Allied forces over Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe came into effect.

From May 8th (13:00 UTC) to May 12th (13:00 UTC), several unique premium squads for the Allies will temporarily return to the shop for Gold!


The squad consists of 4 soldiers armed with a rare variant of the PPD-40, produced by Shipyard No. 202 in Vladivostok, and there is an extra slot for an engineer. This submachine gun is distinguished by its muzzle device, a muzzle brake and compensator and the possibility of installing the SVT-40 bayonet.

A squad of 4 engineers armed with a prototype self-loading carbine of the Simonov system. From the outside, it already closely resembles the final version of the SKS, adopted for service in 1949, except that its 7.62x54R cartridge is completely different, making it a full-fledged rifle. The integral 5-round magazine can be loaded with stripper clips or one cartridge at a time.


A 5 soldier squad: 4 assaulters and an engineer with a wide range of buildable structures, armed with a uniquely designed American submachine gun with a double magazine. The small magazine capacity is compensated by fast reload times and overall low recoil.

A British fighter with four 20 mm Hispano Mk.V cannons and two 500 lb bombs. This versatile armament allows it to provide both air support for the infantry and easily deal with enemy aircraft.

In the "Reinforcements received" events, you’ll upgrade your army with unique and well-armed squads, rare weapons, vehicles and always-useful items. Main rewards will help you unlock content that normally takes more time to reach in a regular lineup.

In April 1945, the troops of the 69th Infantry Division and the 5th Guards Army met at Torgau on the Elbe river, splitting the Third Reich in two as the Soviet forces completed the encirclement of Berlin. Soon afterwards, in May, the enemy finally fell. Different countries celebrate the end of war on different days: on May 8th in most European countries (Victory in Europe Day), and on May 9th in several countries of the former USSR (Victory Day). To this day, it remains the common holiday for many people around the world.

We are joining the celebrations and have prepared new tools for the Allies that will help them to win their battles. Both the US and USSR armies are getting some serious weapons - an airplane, a tank and effective weapons for the infantry!

From May 7th (13:00 UTC) to June 4th (13:00 UTC), get battle score in battles and move up the rewards ladder! You have two days to complete each task!


You'll get rewards during the whole event, and the further you progress through it, the more valuable they'll become. You can easily skip a few tasks and still get the main rewards!


As you complete stages, you will receive several rare weapons and unique vehicles for your armies!

This British heavy fighter with its powerful offensive and suspended armament will be a useful and versatile machine over the battlefield!

Four 20 mm Hispano Mk. I cannons against enemy aircraft and for ground targets, two 500 lb bombs.

The aircraft comes without a squad and is available for the Marine Attack Squadron 231 squad (Attacker Pilot I).

One of the most dangerous modifications of the T-34 tank, equipped with a 100 mm LB-1 cannon.

Engineers could hardly fit such a gun into the turret, but it was worth it!

The BR-412B APHEBC shell can consistently penetrate even the well-armored front of the King Tiger’s turret from a distance. At the same time, the cannon reloads faster than its 122 mm counterpart.

The tank comes without a squad and is available for the 99th Tank Brigade squad (Tanker II).

Traditionally, during the event in May, you have the chance to get a rare oxidized PPS-42.

The reddish-brown color of bluing was very rare, as it is a consequence of a deviation from the strict standards for the oxidation of finished weapon components. Although it is as reliable as the usual black finish, it gives the weapon a very unusual appearance.

In the early 1940s, Thompson built several prototypes based on the M1928 submachine gun using the .30 Carbine cartridge, hoping to compete with the M1 Carbine using the same caliber.

The Thompson .30 cal SMG has the same high rate of fire, low recoil, and comfortable sights as the standard model, except that it hits much harder!

• Tasks are updated every two days at 13:00 UTC, and the scoring starts again. Be sure to collect your reward before then, if you have managed to accumulate the required number of battle points, otherwise the task will not count.
  
• The task can be completed in the Squads mode.
  
• From June 4th (13:00 UTC) to June 6th (13:00 UTC), after the end of the event, you will have the opportunity to purchase any missing rewards for Gold.

In the upcoming update, tankers will look at the world through even more realistic sights, with all their advantages and disadvantages. We have reproduced the realistic distortions that the lenses of the gunner's and commander's observation devices have.

This effect isn’t fully finalized yet, and we're still tweaking it based on your feedback from the test server, but even in its current version, it makes vehicles (and engineering guns!) more immersive and Enlisted even more realistic.
