Temporarily in game for Golden Eagles: P40 "G.C. Leoncello"

The premium P40 "G.C. Leoncello" will be available until the end of the event for Golden Eagles right in the game!

P40 "G.C. Leoncello" — The P40's best description in its place on the War Thunder battlefield is "average". Average armour, an average gun, and average mobility. For this reason, it can perform most roles of a typical medium tank in a flanking or support role, but should not be relied on to be a shield or a speedster. The P40 "Leoncello" was one of the first Italian ground vehicles implemented and was created by Nicola "Kolin0" Faggiani ( @Kolin0) and Riccardo "BlueBeta" Lo Verso ( @BlueBeta) as part of the revenue share program.

On November 3rd, 1918, Austria-Hungary capitulated in World War I, its territorial concessions allowing Italy to complete its reunification that began way back in the middle of the XIX century. Thus November 4th, the day that the armistice went into effect, is celebrated as National Unity and Armed Forces Day. Italians were celebrating it before Mussolini’s rise to power, during his premiership and after where it’s the only holiday to have remained in effect for the past century.

From November 4th (11:00 GMT) until November 7th (07:00 GMT), play 3 battles using Italian vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “The Heart of Italy” 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 → Italian National Unity Day.
