War Thunder community - Squadrons

Creating a Squadron

There are currently two types of squadrons in War Thunder that can be created by players: Training Squadrons and Squadrons. In general, Training Squadrons are entry-level squadrons with limited functionality and member size created for 1.000.000 Silver Lions, while regular Squadrons offer full functionality and are established with 2500 Golden Eagles.

Joining a Squadron

Joining a squadron in War Thunder is easy, if you know who you want to join. If you are looking for a new squadron, try out the squadron section on our forums - a great number of player squadrons is presenting themselves there. Among our community are squadrons for just about any gaming style and preferences, so we are sure you’ll find the right place!

To join a squadron in-game, click on the ‘Squadrons’ button in War Thunder’s main menu and, under the tab of the same name, find the squadron you want to apply for in the list. To send an application for membership, click on the ‘Apply for Membership’ button with the squadron highlighted that you wish to join.

Managing a Squadron

After your new squadron has been successfully created, you will automatically become the highest member of the squadron’s leadership - the ‘Commander’. All squadron management in War Thunder is done through the ‘My Squadron’ tab of the ‘Squadrons’ window, through which you have previously created your squadron. You can have up to 128 members in a squadron.

• There can be only one commander.
• The commander may appoint a deputy, but not more than one.
• The deputy has all the powers of the commander, but cannot disband the squadron, remove the commander or change the commander's rank.
• When the Commander leaves the squadron, the Deputy becomes the new commander.
• A commander cannot leave the squadron unless a deputy is appointed.

Players with the rank "Private" don't have access to squadron management area.

Squadron statistics

Each squadron in War Thunder has its own statistics. The overall regimental statistics are collected from four basic parameters: the number of air vehicles destroyed, the number of ground vehicles destroyed, the number of deaths in battles and the total time spent in the game. Based on this data, your regiment will be located on the leaderboard. Squadron statistics show the status of the past two weeks.

Training squadron :

• In the Training squadron, only the roles of the commander, officers and privates are available; the role of the deputy is not available. The commander cannot transfer their role to anyone or leave the training squadron, and instead, can only disband it, or update it to a regular squadron with golden eagles.
• The training squadron has a composition limited to ten participants and twenty recruits awaiting consideration of applications.
• The training squadron has no description - only the name, tag and motto.
• The tag of the training squadron does not have the ability to change the style of the decorator.
• The training squadron can be upgraded to a regular squadron for golden eagles. A training squadron can be created for 1,000,000 Silver Lions.
