In such a gigantic and complex organism such as the military, medals demonstrate in one quick and clear designation of human merit and deed identifying individuals worthy of respect. In War Thunder medals serve the same purpose and indicate the impressive achievements of one person to other players.
Whilst there will be more medals available for all nations, their rarity, and hence their value will increase significantly.
In one of the larger upcoming updates the number of medals in our game will be increased from 65 to 186 in total across all nations. France has already received new medals in one of our previous updates and now it is time to add medals for other nations too. For those nations we will add new medals whilst older medals will receive updated conditions or may be removed where they don’t correspond to design.
Old medals
We have completely revised the design of older medals; the requirements for their receipt, their appearance and have ranked them in order of precedence.
If you already own the medal - it will remain with you. Some older and incompatible to the design medals have been removed but the bonuses for their receipt will stay with you.
Open the list of medal changes
Take advantage of the time remaining before the changes are completed if you were planning to own one of the existing medals.
New medals
These will be a truly valuable achievement and adornment in your profile in the eyes of other players. You will still be able to unlock the easier medals but the more significant achievements will require skill, concentration and time - the requirements to own them will be increased.
Updated medals will now be placed in order of precedence as is customary with the medal rules of all nations. The More valuable medals and orders will open a unique in-game title to the owner.
Hold your medals in great esteem and honour!
The War Thunder Team

Deleting already earned medals is just another form of disrespecting your old, veteran players, but whats new, huh? You are doing this kind of thing for years...
“If you already own the medal - it will remain with you.“ Can you read?
Thurny, "Some older and incompatible to the design medals have been removed but the bonuses for their receipt will stay with you", Can YOU read?
So we will be able to get more free exp, that almost no one use because is not worth it at all? What about deleting free exp? I already have 25cmillion free exp that I cant use because it would cost me 444.444 GE, that I cant afford
It's not really "free xp" then is it? lol
Pytor_, we call it suprize wallet xp
Sure hope the requirement changes for the French medals. Absolutely mental... Largest nation: 300kills. (i can do that in an afternoon!) Second smallest nation: Let's require the player to get 20.000 matches played.
Totally agree. It's REALLY unbalanced. When I saw the French Medals tasks for the first time I thought there was a technical error that they would fix in the next patch.
AxelEurope, According to the bug report they told me that this change was coming and the requirements for all medals would be changed to reflect what the French are set at.
OP summer news when? :P
You know when, Soon™
OP suffer you mean?
Will there be significant SL rewards for completing them?
There is no (and there was no) SL reward for medals.
Stona_WT, So all that really has been done was add more art to a section of the game that people rarely look at. Would be nice to get rewards for these metals, like a talisman or backups or a good chunk of SL.
pointless changes... in the pointless feature, unless you can get 100k SL, booster, or something useful when you earning these medals. in the past 4 years maybe 5 or 6 times i look at these medals when i checked my stats.
I personally look forward to having these medals mean something beyond "I played more than 5 hours". especially from what this dev blog leads us to believe that they'll be displayed somewhere. I hope I get to show them off on my steam profile like the WT achievements.
Lunatic242, Have you looked at what France's current medals are? They're absolutely insane. I've been playing for 5 years and there's quite a few of those medals I wouldn't have even if all nation's progress counted for them. If the new medals are along the lines of the old (and they don't count past progress which is very common for them) then i wouldn't expect even the hardcore single nation players to have them for several years. Even then nobody will ever notice. A title like God Of War is better
Don't talk about medals while we are waiting for the operation S.U.M.M.E.R. announcement!
You mean operation S.U.F.F.E.R. ?
jonasx10j, At this point operation N.E.V.E.R
whats the point?... who even gives a damn about these "medals"
the rewards for the medals are useless. Who needs more convertible XP. Real Free XP is XP you don't need GE to use! Real Free XP would be very useful in getting parts and FPE on stock tanks.
200 sl for a medal, wich i allready have 500 of, woopde do, i agree the benafits to medals should go up, 2000sl and they can put the 200 we got now in modification or vehicle research (if not both)
Very bad decision. Things like these should have been done 6 years ago at the very begining. Now you will introduce new medals with 0 progress done so years of playing and thousands of kills/missions won will mean nothing. Like with French medals, you introduced them after French tree has been out for months and every active player had everything he wanted. Forcing players to get another 10k kills for a medal while they already have 30k is bs, sorry. Zero motivation at this point, bad timing.
Quote: "If you already own the medal - it will remain with you.", you'll keep your medals. So don't worry about a progress reset.
