In the heat of August, it's time to cool off in air battles - and get a unique F-14A IRIAF fighter, a camouflage for it, two decals and a player icon depicting Jalil Zandi - the most successful Tomcat pilot in the world!

When: From August 8th (11:00 GMT) until August 26th (11:00 GMT), earn points in air battles, unlock stages and get prizes!

In the mid-1970s, the United States began delivering its modern F-14A Tomcat fighters to their ally, the Shah of Iran. In service with them, the F-14A significantly expanded its list of weapons: in addition to the familiar AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-54 Phoenix, it added the Soviet R-27R1 and missiles of Iran’s own design: the Fakour-90 and Sedjil with active and semi-active radar guidance respectively, as well as the unique Yasser rockets with its 750 pound warhead!


Also among the event prizes is a trophy, where you can obtain one of the following:

• 50,000 - 100,000 Silver Lions
  
• SL and RP Boosters
  
• Random wagers and orders
  
• Universal backups (1 - 3 of)
  
• Random camouflage for purchased vehicles of any type
  
• 1 day of premium account

Each stage is unlocked for 45,000 mission points and brings a new reward.

Please note: Please note: Once the stage is unlocked, you will need to claim your reward manually. To do this, click on your profile, select the Persian Tomcat category, and click Claim Prize.

You can earn mission points in air battles of rank III and higher in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator modes. The number of mission points for completing a task depends on the game mode and the maximum rank of the vehicle used in battle. The multiplier for earning points is specified in the task description.

You can also earn points while using event vehicles of ranks I-II as well. Such vehicles have the name of the event in which they were received on their card.

The stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT: August 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 22nd and 24th.

Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles. If you’re very close to completing a stage, its price will be significantly reduced!

So, if you have earned 85% of the points needed to complete the mission, the stage purchase price will be halved, and if you are already near the finish line and have reached 95% progress, the price will be reduced fivefold! For example, if you have earned 39,000 mission points, the stage unlock price will be 499 Golden Eagles, and if you have 43,000 points, you will only need to spend 199 GE. Keep this in mind if you can’t complete the stage in time!

When you complete 8 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle, if you use it you will immediately receive it on your account. If you do not want to use the vehicle, but plan to sell the coupon on the Gaijin Marketplace, you need the "Coupon Upgrade" item.

The "Coupon Upgrade" item is earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from August 8th (11:00 GMT) to August 26th (11:00 GMT) for 750,000 mission points.

After receiving the "Coupon Upgrade", you can convert the non-tradable equipment coupon into a tradable one and sell it on the Gaijin Marketplace. The tradable coupon will be available for sale 6 days after it was created.

The "Coupon Upgrade" item is valid until 11:00 GMT on August 29th. Until then, you can use it for its intended purpose or exchange it for War Bonds, otherwise it will disappear from your inventory.

To make a coupon tradable, select the "F-14A IRIAF" coupon in your inventory and click the "Modify" button.

You can track the progress of completing stages and receive the "Coupon Upgrade" by clicking on "Nickname → Achievements → Persian Tomcat". If you did not manage to complete the stage on time, you can still purchase the missing stages for Golden Eagles in the achievements window until August 29th and receive the corresponding prizes.
