INDEPENDENCE DAY MISSION
And last but definitely not least, we have prepared a special mission for you where you can earn a new camouflage and more.
Between July 4 and July 24, 2024:
- Win 14 matches of any type using the Bradley FV Tier 8 AFV to receive the U.S. (Gulf War) camouflage
- Win 14 matches of any type using M60A3 (or its premium variant) to receive the U.S. CARC base paint
- Win 10 matches using either the M1A1 Abrams or the M1A1 Storm to receive four U.S. military decals
All these assets are based on the Gulf War. The camouflage was seen on Bradley IFVs belonging to the 2nd Squadron, 4th Cavalry (24th Infantry Division).
This unit decided to go against the regulations and used a rather unique camouflage pattern during the conflict. It consisted of sand background and large brown stripes with black edges, somewhat reminiscent of the British camouflage used at El Alamein.
A number of these vehicles were photographed on December 19, 1990, during a training exercise.
The base paint is based on a standard Desert Storm sand color – with a little twist. A lot of the vehicles used during the operation were painted in standard European colors and had to be repainted quickly. There was a lot of chaos in the process as hundreds of inexperienced troops had to repaint armor as fast as possible, which for example led to many cases of soldiers painting over expensive optics (rendering them unusable).
In another case from the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, issues with proper color mixing gave the paint an incorrect shade and a number of vehicles painted that way basically turned out somewhat pink. This base paint attempts to recreate the color from the incident.
And last but not least, we have tactical unit insignia for you, with the following meaning:
- Company A (Chevron aiming forward)
- Company B (Chevron aiming down)
Both are available in black and white color.
Please note:
- The prizes will be handed out after the end of the event
- The mission begins on July 4 at 00:01 CEST and ends on July 24 at 22:59 CEST
We hope you’ll enjoy the event and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!
