The Spitfire Mk V was one of the most widely produced British fighters in the Second World War. It entered service in 1941 and served until the end of the war, taking part in D-Day. However, it also had an experimental, little-known floatplane version, planned for use on the Mediterranean front. Participate in the new event and receive a unique aircraft and decals dedicated to the Royal Air Force!
From June 3rd (11:00 GMT) until June 15th (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Air, unlock stages and receive rewards!
Spitfire Mk Vb (Float) — A Premium Fighter for Great Britain at Rank II
The floatplane version of the Spitfire Mk Vb required some design changes, such as a new four-bladed propeller and a larger stabilizer. In War Thunder, it will be the fastest floatplane in the game, well-armed, and performs well in all game modes. Behind the controls of this legendary British aircraft is none other than Nigel himself as the pilot. He is the hero of numerous War Thunder memes, whose model we’ve specially returned to this floatplane Spitfire!

Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Wings Over Water: Spitfire Mk Vb (Float)” and click the “Get Reward” button.
You’re able to earn mission points in Air 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 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th.
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: “Emblem of the 2nd Tactical Air Group” decal
For 6 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the Spitfire Mk Vb (Float)
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 26,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 299 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 29,000 mission points, then you’ll only need 119 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!
The Coupon Upgrade
When you complete 6 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the Spitfire Mk Vb (Float), 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 3rd (11:00 GMT) until June 15th (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 Spitfire Mk Vb (Float) (Great Britain)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until 11:00 GMT on June 19th. 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 > Wings Over Water. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until June 19th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.
