November 11th is a very special day in the hearts of the Polish People. Exactly 100 years ago Poland regained its independence. After 123 years this brave country has returned on to world maps. To celebrate this significant anniversary, we have prepared something special for all of you!
15:00 GMT on the 9th of November — 7:00 GMT on the 12th of November you will be able to:
Obtain the famous "Winged Hussars" camouflage by winning 1 battle whilst flying the Mi-24V
The very last vehicle you control in the winning battle needs to be the Mi-24V
Purchase the Premium Lanovsky's P-47M-1-RE Thunderbolt for the American Tech Tree
You only have 4 days to purchase it, so be quick!
Lanovsky's P-47M-1-RE Thunderbolt
Witold Łanowski, nicknamed "Lanny" first enrolled in the military in memory of his colleagues as a self-confident and impartial individual and demonstrated himself as a great instructor and pilot. He was born on June 8th, 1915 in Lwów, and in 1935 he joined the Cadet School in Dęblin. After four years he became an instructor. During World War II, thanks to Gładych's support, he was transferred to the American 61st Fighter Squadron, where on May 15th, 1944, he finally took control of a Thunderbolt. The P-47M-1-RE version which he piloted had a new, more powerful engine, which made it faster than almost any German fighter with a piston engine. The aircraft was armed with eight 12.7 mm machine guns and also could carry bombs and rockets which made it an effective ground attacker.
Sherman Firefly Ic Scorpion
We also wish to remind you, that for some time we have had the powerful Premium Sherman Firefly Ic from 1st Squadron, 4th Armoured Regiment “Scorpion”, 2nd Armoured Brigade, 2nd “Warsaw” Armoured Division available in game! So if you are a fan of a Polish themed armour, check out the British tank tree. the Mighty Sherman Firefly "Trzyniec" with its 17-pounder gun and the addition of two beautiful Polish decals is waiting for purchase!
I mean, this stuff is really cool and all- disappointed I don't have the Mi-24V, because the Winged Hussars camo is cool- but why does Landovsky's P-47 need to be solely a new premium? Why can't people who already have the P-47M just earn the camo, or even buy it for 200GE? I already have that P-47, and Landovsky's skin for it looks really cool, but what you're essentially telling people who already own this P-47 is, "Pay 6090 GE to get a camouflage and a new name on the stat card." Kinda cheap.
Agreed. I just bought P-47M on sale and I really do not feel like spending 6000 GE for a skin for it... where is the logic? These skins from Gaijin usually cost 200 GE, this is just big and important anniversary getting used for a silly moneygrab.
PiRa, You are out of touch with what the Community has been asking for.... There have been questions and requests on the forum and other places for Aces or Pilot skins/aircraft variants that I have seen my self... others also want a Hurricane, a number of other aircraft and I would like to see a RAAF captured "Black 6" BF 109G2, the Aussie commander flew her in German markings over his base so the troops knew what to look out for..... so, there are lots of requests for interesting aircraft, aces and pilots from history
A significant number of people wanted to see more "Ace" pilot premium aircraft as separate aircraft and not just new skins. Its been a common suggestion since we first introduced them with the weapons of victory update. Right now for this event, we also wanted to give this special event its own unique machine rather than just another skin like the Mi-24V. If you are interested in only the skin, im sure someone will upload it to WT Live very soon for everyone to use on Bostwick's P-47M.
Screng, Why do I need that? I have 4 more P-47s beside M version in the tree. So do I need yet another one for 30 Euro? I guess not unless I am extremely serious collector or somebody who does not know what to do with my money.
There are Camos, but there are vehicles out there like the 7TP and 9TP light tanks, and possibly for air too. I have thought of a tree for the Ground forces so far, but idk about the air yet
Why wasnt there anything special last year for Finlands 100th year of being independent and not under any other nation unlike poland being soviet satellite state.
In other words - your way to honor this anniversary is to say: Buy helicopters, buy another copy paste premium and if you really want to spend even more money - wait for it - buy another premium! :D And just to remind you, Czechia (and Slovakia) had same anniversary on 28th October. Maybe mark it in your calendar at least for a year 2118.
Would have been great to get a Discount for the P47M for owners of the other P47M, or simply a Camo for it ingame, that would wouldnt look like money-grabbing that much, and make customers happy. I dont want to complain too much here, just think that might be a good idea to support those who already supported the game. I would love to get that Skin, it looks great! but 6k GE? A bit too much for a reskin, even for ag ood one.
So you can get a Polish camouflage for the Mi-24 just by playing and winning in the Mi-24V but regular air players need to buy a whole new plane to get a new camouflage for a plane that differs from the existing P-47M-1-RE in no other way than the camouflage?
Pizzacorgie28, Still though. The existing P-47M players already gave Gaijin $30. Now they have "created" a new P-47M for another $30 with the only difference being the skin. I mean I'm sure it is too late now to just give the Lanowsky skin to Bostwick P-47M players but still. I makes me feel like Gaijin is deaf to what really annoys us players.

All answers (3)Smin1080p, Could there be at least a discount for those who own the Bostwick's P-47M?
6k GE for a special skin, and copy/paste of existing P-47M, feels kinda lame. The Hind camo is nice, but you have to actually own the Hind.
its a separate plane. you could play both in same preset. cant do that w camo.

Poland can into War Thunder?!
Very much so :)

In October 23 was the anniversary of the hungarian revolution contra USSR and nothing
DarthGergely, They have disrespected Red October! All shall be sent to GULAG!
On 28th October, there was same 100th anniversary for Czechia and Slovakia. Also nothing.

No one is forcing anyone to buy anything.... serious collectors are always after rare additions
All answers (4)Pacifica, I would call myself a pretty serious collector.. But I'm also a student. 6k GE for a copy & paste is not worth it :/
a special camo for the mi-24D XD

Nobody has the Mi-24v cause you need to play like 200 matches in the heli only mode, even with full premium
