War Thunder News

Hello everyone, today we’re back with a fresh set of historical decals! We’ve been very happy to see the positive reception to this event returning, and we appreciate all the feedback and suggestions you’ve left.

Before we get into the decals, we have a couple of points from feedback. As you know, the format is 5 new decals and 5 decals from previous events and we’ve seen a lot of requests to return certain popular decals for unlock again. While we can’t add everything requested in the short term, we’ll aim to return some of the most popular decals we’ve seen comments for in future months.

We’ve also made a small tweak. Previously in each event, only one decal cost 200 Golden Eagles and didn’t have a task, which we realize was a bit arbitrary. Considering now that each decal can be purchased with Golden Eagles, we’ve removed this limitation, meaning every decal can now be unlocked by tasks as well as purchased using Golden Eagles.

The following decals will be available from March 7th (11:00 GMT) until April 7th (09:00 GMT).

All tasks can be completed using vehicles that are rank III or higher.

Monthly markings can be found in a special tab at the bottom of the customization menu, (Monthly Decals) after a month, they’ll be moved to their corresponding category.

You can track the progress of completing tasks for these decals by going to your Player Profile > Decals > Monthly Decals. From here, click the “Track progress” button on each decal to track from the hangar.

All of the emblems will come with a detailed description. This will generally consist of the history of the marking, its design, which vehicles used it, and where it was often placed on vehicles historically if applicable (some emblems are taken from badges, which weren’t always applied). This way you can more easily recreate the original positioning if you’d like.

Thank you for reading, enjoy, keep leaving your suggestions and we’ll see you next month for more!

Dear players,

The game may not be available at the moment as we are experiencing some technical issues on our servers. We are endeavouring to fix these issues as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Finland declared its independence in December 1917 and shortly after on March 6th 1918, the country’s Air Force was formed. The Finnish Air Force showed itself especially well during the two Soviet-Finnish wars. The number of downed Soviet aircraft was an order of magnitude higher than Finnish air losses. As a result of a peace treaty, Finland significantly reduced its Air Force after the war, however it began to build it up again in 1990. Currently, the Finnish Air Force has 60 multi-role American F/A-18 aircraft and another 64 F-35 Lightning II are to join them.
