How can you get premium vehicles? Warbonds!
We present to you an assortment of Warbond shop items for May. Fulfill Battle Tasks, earn warbonds, improve your shop level and unlock rewards!
The first time you can get the premium Elco 80 ft PT-556 (USA) boat for Warbonds.
Battle Tasks will be available to you after reaching and purchasing a 3rd rank vehicle in any nation in-game. You can read more about Warbonds and Battle Tasks in the War Thunder wiki.
This assortment will be available until the 31st of May!
A couple of interesting vehicles included this time are:
Elco 80 ft PT-556
Aspiring and veteran American naval captains alike can both add the excellent and versatile Elco 80 ft PT-556 to their ports for the first time now with Warbonds! This jack of all trades Rank II premium vessel has both Torpedo armament and a fine arsenal of machine gun and cannon armament, offering a variety of tactical choices and avenues of attack. This fast and furious attack vessel will be a definite advantage to all captains that take her to the high seas!
Т-34-57 (1943)
Tank commanders will be well aware of the T-34’s battlefield combat effectiveness, but now you have the opportunity to earn an even more deadly variant with a 57mm cannon! The T-34-57 (1943) combines the later style of turret with the long barrel 57mm soviet cannon, known for its excellent penetration. Whilst that may sacrifice some post penetration damage due to smaller shells, the added accuracy and penetration more than make up for this tradeoff. Charge your enemies and conquer the battle with the T-34-57!

Battle tasks: These individual tasks bring variety to your gameplay and prevent situations where all the players in a battle try to complete one specific task, effectively ignoring mission objectives that are needed for a victory. They are available for players that have reached the 3rd rank of any nation. On completion, players will receive Silver Lions, and Warbonds - a special in-game currency with their own specific shop, where you can purchase many different items.
You can read more about battle tasks and war bonds in our devblog and on War Thunder wiki.

This is reserved for the most hardcore players. You have 30 days to get shop level V by doing 40 daily tasks, then you need to get 12 medals and around 3000 warbond points. Earning medals requires you to complete "Special Tasks". Those cost 30 warbond points each (so an extra 360 warbonds are required) and are very restrictive in their requirements. And after 30 days, everything resets except the warbonds themselves, so you have to grind it out.
Exactly. Just like all the other 'free' items that Gaijin likes to 'give away'. They create an illusion of stuff which can be obtained for free, but in reality it is obtainable only by Chinese farmers, maybe. No adult can commit so much time (and practically make it a daily routine) to get a stupid vehicle, unless you are unemployed and without family.
All answers (3)LAGpWND, So I see this often enough that I feel the need to at least put my opinion of it out there on the off chance it makes people think. At the end of the day War Thunder is a free to play game, and as such in order to keep the game up and more updates coming Gaijin needs to make money somehow. They do this with premium time and vehicles. The vehicles offered in the Warbond store cost anywhere between a few hundred golden eagles to a few thousand. If they made these rewards incredibly easy that wo...
Did you know, why is called "daily tasks" because you have to finish every day 2 tasks and get 150 warbond and every 2 days one special task...not hard at all for "daily" players. Sad thing is that i want to buy battle trophy and some other things....bushes, exc....but no enough warbonds, they should remove 3600 warbond limit. Gaijin please consider this.....thank you. Your daily player.
Romek007, personally my problem with tasks is that they have specific BR and achievement requirements, whereas i play for fun, and sometimes with friends with low BR. These circumstances usually don't lead me to completing tasks. So even if I play daily, I can't achieve these. If the tasks where something like "get 10 naval kills" or "do 20,000 damage to any vehicle", I could do them.
Still Waiting a Update for Linux Version
cause not many still play using Linux lol.
Pytor_, *ANGRY PENGUING NOISES* well WINE may or may not help idk
I just want a bush.
I would like a bush as well
Snivy_Films, You can get bushes from the warbond shop
Thank you for the info. Could you please *remove* Warbonds limit? Why 3600? In reality, why would anyone have limit of the money? Thanks. It would also be nice, if we could have *missions like special missions*, to *earn Warbonds more often than twice a day*. Even 50 per special mission, like the ones with medals, would be very nice. Some people have spare time to play, so rewards in Warbonds would be cool. What do you think? Thanks.
Exactly, we want to buy more stuff or try tanks in batte, but we cant.
When I saw the ask the devs article saying vessels would be in warbonds I thought it would be the Pre CBT boats but no just the Thunderbolt sadly. Also can you guys make it possibly easier to get rares just trying to get 13 tasks over an over again just drains it for me?
Warbond vehicles are almost always premiums from the tree. Rare vehicles that arent sold anymore are usually in the vehicle crates.
Rokkerboyy, sometimes they do but rare vehicles in the war bond shop, Achilles 65th, I-16 type 28 and more.
Why can't you make the vehicles as coupons so I have the option to sell it on the Market, IK the coupons are available if I get the crates.. I'm talking about these non-crate ones.
Because most of them are premium tree vehicles. Why would they make them sellable on the market when they can already be bought with GE.
Rokkerboyy, you tell him
They give coupons if the vehicle isn't a premium tech tree one
BEARA202, No they don't, Why is no Achilles 65th, I-16 type 28 on the market ? Hmm i think you are wrong..
so many choices..... hmmmmm...
