Battle Pass comes to War Thunder! It is a seasonal event, where you can take part any time you like. Get handy combat items, and exclusive items! Decals, titles, decorations, avatars, and even Premium vehicles!
We will announce the start of the first Battle Pass season when it's ready.
In Battle Pass, you earn progress points and progress through the levels. Every level gives access to a special prize.
Prizes
Every season of Battle Pass introduces new and exclusive prizes. Here are some examples of the rewards you can receive in the first season:
The unique Australian modification of the British Matilda tank used to storm enemy positions in the Pacific Theatre. An anti-submarine bomb launcher (!) with 7 HESH bombs has been mounted near the tank engine and transmission module.
This destroyer built in the middle of the 1930’s saw service in the Mediterranean, the Northern Convoys and even in Africa. During the war it served in the Polish Navy, was seriously damaged several times but not destroyed!
A version of the legendary carrier aircraft with an incredibly powerful 3000 hp engine. One of the versions was the “Super Corsair” that was created to become an effective means of dealing with Japanese kamikaze aircraft.
An improved modification of the latest soviet serial heavy T-10 tank. This armoured giant was equipped with a gun stabiliser and a night vision device.
Battle Pass
Any player can progress through levels and get prizes marked as “Free”, including Premium vehicles and exclusive items.
To get prizes from all levels, purchase the Battle Pass.
Battle Pass can be purchased for Golden Eagles. After purchase, it is active all season long, and its owner can obtain prizes from every level, even from those completed earlier. It is up to you to decide when you like to buy your Battle Pass.
How to take part
Every level unlocks with 10 progress points. Earn progress points in battle, by completing special challenges, or just logging in to the game even if you don’t have a purchased Battle Pass.
Enter the game
Every day you will earn progress points in addition to your daily reward.
The more consecutive day-to-day logins, the more progress points you get, from 1 to 5 daily.
Complete Battle Tasks
Completed Battle Tasks now bring additional bonuses in progress points.
Easy tasks - 2 points; Medium tasks - 3 points; Special tasks - 5 points.
Complete Season Challenges
New feature of the Battle Pass seasons.
Get 3 Season Challenges when the season starts, and get an additional challenge every week.
A completed Challenge grants 30 progress points at once!
See the War Thunder Wiki to learn more details!
Battle Tasks changes
You will get additional progress points as a reward for completing daily Battle Tasks. Warbonds can now be achieved by unlocking Battle Pass levels.
- Easy and medium Battle Tasks now give 2 and 3 progress points respectively.
- A Special Battle Task can be purchased for purchase permission. Permission is granted on every completion of a medium Battle Task. You are able to collect permissions throughout the season and use them at your own discretion. Special Battle Tasks give you 5 progress points after they are completed.
F.A.Q.
Q. How long does a season last?
- The minimum duration for a season is 75 days. But it may also be longer, depending on the calendar and other in game events.
Q. Can I earn progress points and receive prizes after a season ends?
- No, after the season ends any earning of progress points will be disabled until the start of a new season. Please note also that all earned in the current season permissions for performing (Special) tasks will be reset. So you will not be able to “stockpile” them between seasons.
Q. Will it be possible to use the awards after a season ends?
- Yes, all rewards will remain with you after a season ends. Some of the prizes are exclusive and can be received only during the season, but you can use them without any restrictions.
Q. How do I purchase a “Battle Pass”?
- The "Battle Pass" and "Improved Battle Pass" can be purchased for Golden Eagles on the special in-game page. You can also purchase “Battle Pass” levels for Golden Eagles.
Q. What will happen if I purchase a “Battle Pass” after a season has started, in the middle or at the end of the season?
- You will receive all the rewards you have earned, both exclusive and free, up to your current “Battle Pass'' level at the end of the event. Taking into account that the speed of earning progress points is not reliant on the purchase of a “Battle Pass” nor is it necessary to purchase a “Battle Pass” immediately. However it is not advisable to delay its purchase as a late receipt of the part of the “Battle Pass” rewards may deprive you of your well-deserved competitive advantage in the peak season.
Q. Why is it preferable to purchase the “Improved Battle Pass”? Does it give any special prize?
- An “Improved Battle Pass” doesn't give access to any special new prizes, but it does open 15 levels of the “battle Pass” immediately, which is 20% of the entire basic prize table.
Q. Do I have to purchase a "Battle Pass"? Is it possible to receive rewards for free?
- It isn’t necessary to purchase a “Battle Pass”. In any season, a significant part of the prize fund is free, including one of the exclusive premium vehicles. Also all the Warbonds within the main part of the prize table are free.
Q. Can I earn progress points on any vehicles and in any game modes?
- The process of earning progress points is universal in terms of awards for entering the game. Earning the Daily Battle Tasks are traditionally connected with random battles with restrictions on low rank vehicles. Accordingly, earning on Season Сhallenges of the “Battle Pass” is made by analogy with daily tasks and are also connected to random battles and has restrictions on the Battle Rating of the vehicles. On some vehicle types there are no restrictions at all: you can earn progress points in all vehicle types; aircraft, ground vehicles, naval vessels and helicopters.
Q. As the known number of Warbonds that you can collect is limited. What will happen if my prize in the Warbonds exceeds this limit? Will it just “expire” to nowhere?
- No, earned Warbonds will not “expire”. The awarding of a prize will just be postponed until you have spent an amount of Warbonds to fit the limit for the selected prize. For example: you have already 500 Warbonds and your prize, which you will receive, is assessed by 1000 Warbonds. The limit is 1000. So you will not receive your prize (for 1000 Warbonds) till you will spend at least 500 in the Warbonds shop.
Q. Will I be able to trade received coupons on the market?
- Yes, but the coupons can only be traded on the market 75 days after it is received.

We will announce the start of the first Battle Pass season when it's ready.
Battle Pass Season I prizes: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Battle_Pass:_Season_I
I read the title thought it was gonna be bad. After I read it its one of the better battle passes I've seen for a game so its ok. As long as we can get tasks done in sim because Air RB at top tier just isn't for me.
Goodbye Operation SUMMER and FROST, hello Operation CATTLE
dont do it please.
How do you get the Matilda tank? I don't understand how this event works.
You can't not unless you pay for the battle pass. Here is a link to their reward list for season 1, https://wiki.warthunder.com/Battle_Pass:_Season_I
I would love it if we had a way to earn these progression points in Air and Ground SIM battles.
i dont think its that bad its bad but not that bad just look at it from the bright sight yuo can testdrive new vehicles
Premium is 14900 GE a year, battle pass will be around 9700 GE a year (based on 75d per season). That brings your prices in the area of a normal subscription based MMO if you want all the content. So much for your “free” to play marketing. And that doesn’t even include the occasional premium vehicle for 60+ bugs.
Hi Stona_WT, I am wondering about what happens with our existing warbonds. After the update can we still use our existing warbonds? What should we do with them? Spend them all now? Or keep them? This question has been bothering me since I heard about the coming reformation of the warbond system, and so I would be grateful if you can clarify this matter. Thankyou.
You will still have time to spend them, like previously.
My main problem with this is this thing you keep pulling with the events and stuff like this now. You don't have to jump us and surprise us with stuff the day before what you're talking about. If this was properly announced maybe a week or 2 ago, this could be better. Like, the community could talk about it on the forms and something a bit more compromising with how the game works or changes to help this work better and maybe make it a bit more interesting.
Mind you, I'm not saying this is the worst thing possible. It's negative in my eyes but it could be way worse. Honestly, this seems pretty interesting, but I feel like it'll make the game have the same attitude it does for events, but for nearly a third of the year. Changes like you getting points on caps for how much you add to it rather than how long it takes to cap would help. Unless a change like this is hidden away, we'd still be seeing people rushing caps and pushing people off caps.
This community needs to relax, every single post has nothing but complaints. It is not Gaijin's fault that a battlepass system inherently is good for making money, but no one is forcing you to purchase it. It literally is only extra content that you can choose to apply yourself for in free or paid ways. Not only is the free version already a solid improvement, but it would not matter if you just did not do it. You can still play the game either way, with or without.
Personal the issue is not the Battle Pass itself, but the overkill of monetization in this game. They got GE vehicles, bundles, events, loot boxes, and the marketplace, isn't that enough?
