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

Us: fix bugs Gaijin: we made something no one wanted
Yes, this was totally needed. Its not like there a bug reports "being worked at" for years. Its not like the base game mechanics are in dire need of overhaul. Lets concentrate on something everyone is so keen about - medals. Thsi is completely pointless, unless of course you want to count how many people come to this page. Oh wait, its pointless even in that regard. So Gaijin.
Very nice to see this, but it's about a week overdue that we see something about operation summer.
Hell yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on even more useless Convertible RP!!! My dragon's horde will grow, mwahahaha
Completely useless change as long as they only reward useless "Free" XP and require similar ridiculous grind as the French ones
When wil the NEW (not updated) medals be added in game? And where can I find a list of those new ones? Thanks.
In the next update.
I don't know why this has any of kind of priority.. I thought the 10-100SL changes to repair cost wasnt worthwhile either. Medals dont offer any kind of reward, they're not achievements, you just passively earn them from gameplay..
you could do more like some sort of a prestige mode ala cod with medals etc that unlock skins/decorations or even sl or ge?! (fmh) 2 minutes free brainstorming for myself..
I mean, i didnt find any use of Medals, in WoT its kinda Challenging everyone going for them, but i Warthunder ? I never saw someone talking about medals
O damn, was assuming this would be about the awards in matches, like assists/scouting, and patching them back up to functioning status. Instead of the 'complete the task described, and then roll some dice to see if the server favors you', that it currently is in practice. Rather depressing really.
