Cosmonautics Day
Attention! Outdated news format. Content may not display correctly.

The 12th of April marks the 56th anniversary of manned spaceflights, humankind's’ first foray into space, a day that not only was the beginning of another chapter in exploration, but a moment that moved humanity from the realms of science fiction, into the unexplored worlds of science fact. It will be a record that can never be beaten, a young Soviet cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin shook off the chains of Earth and ventured into space for a 108 minute flight on that day in his Vostok 1 spacecraft. A triumph for all mankind!
From April 12th 11:00 GMT to April 13th 11:00 GMT

Why u haven t released the ability of getting the last year skins for MiG-15Bis anf F9F-5 Panther? Wanted the MiG one SOOOO MUCH :C
Why there aren´t the MiG-15 and F9 skins from last year? :(
I got these decals last year :p The event was....less specific and you could also get Yuri's and Armstrong's Jet fighter skins
So, when do we get John Glenn´s F-86 "MiG Mad Marine" Skin or A Gene Kranzs "My Darling Marta" =
We can only hope at this point.
_Hopeless_, But, Be wary hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Why isn't the 163 available? The Ki-200 is.
Ki-200 is in because Japan doesn't have viable fighter jets.
Since it's Cosmo day, why not have an event for Rocket-tanks too? so ground players can get these
ahaha got those decals last year to bad that they are nothing special anymore :CC
I don't know about you War Thunder, but there should be a secondary for all people who do not have an account with a jet in it with 4k silver lions bonus for a victory. I personally am a little new, spent all my silver lions on the M4A1 and now I need 120k lions to get the M4, M4 (105) and M22. I also do not have any jets btw.
Serious gaijin Just because I do not have f-86f-25, I can not play! and I'm already in tier 5 two nations and researching the third ... it is dirty
I won two games but in the rewards it is write "0/5" :/ The game are pretty long, i don't want to do 5 games of 20 min for nothing, if someone can help me please :O
