In the autumn (fall) trophies, we’re bringing back several old camouflages that are in the greatest demand on the marketplace. In the “Kings of Battle” trophy, 3 tank and 1 aircraft camouflage are available, which was loved in previous trophies!

To unlock the trophy, you’ll need the new “Kings of Battle” key that can be purchased on the Market for GJN. Read more about the Market and Gaijin Coins on the Wiki.

[/h3]

[h2]How to get it?[/h2]
Camouflage trophies can be earned with a certain probability after any battle on vehicles rank II or higher, with activity of no less than 50% (except for [Assault] PvE mode). PlayStation and Xbox players can purchase the trophy in the Item Shop and open it with Golden Eagles. Read more on our Wiki.

PC players must purchase a key from the Market to open the trophy, with part of the cost going to the camouflage creators. You can activate a key from the trophy on your account or sell it on the Market for Gaijin Coins — just like the trophy itself.

You can become a creator of user camouflages — check out an updated guide on our wiki! It will bring you both glory and real money as a part of the War Thunder partnership program!

On November 4th 1918, Austria-Hungary capitulated in the First World War, allowing Italy to gain a number of territories and finally complete its unification which began in the mid-19th century. This date has been celebrated as the Day of National Unity and the Armed Forces of the country for more than a century, remaining a holiday under different regimes. On this day, Italian leaders lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, barracks are opened to the public and army departments hold concerts in major cities.



[h3]

When: From November 3rd (12:00 GMT) until November 6th (07:00 GMT).
Where: Italy > Army > Premium vehicles.

[h3]About the tank[/h3]

• The P40 “G.C. Leoncello” can reach speeds of 40 km/h forwards, is protected by decent sloped armor and is also able to pop smoke to hide from enemies. This tank can also use a selection of ammo to fire from its 75 mm gun. This includes APCBC, HEAT — which can penetrate 100 mm of armor, enough against Soviet T-34s and American Shermans — and HE. A fierce tank to be reckoned with!
