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
So it's not enough that I have a premium account for 3 years straight now. Why not give premium Battle Pass for long-term premium users and have the option to buy Improved one?
People already paying for long time premium accounts - Gaijin goes: "Hey pay us another bi-montly fee for more premium, exclusive shiz yo! But wait there's more! Pay a bit more for a premium premium level!"
because they know people like you will gladly pay for it.
This is nice and all but can you please implement that battle tasks can also be done is Ground SB?
We're now past the "pay to skip grind" and instead at "pay to grind". It's a bad greedy system. Just make the game good by fixing all the annoying things like BR decompression, spare parts/FPE/NVD default, tanks only mode, increase RP/SL gain for tank/ship. Cut the prices for premium stuff to actually affordable levels and people will gladly pay you for it as they're happy and feel they're actually rewarded for paying. Paying AAA prices for a single vehicle out of almost 2000 just isn't viable.
Just another 'Pay 2 Win' stunt...with all the problems that the game has right now. I'd rather see nothing like this added until W.T. has all of its problems with its servers fully addressed & properly rectified. As far as I see it, the game's fate is sealed due to mere band-aids & ignorance. (If I sometimes seem so harsh, I have good reason to be that way.)
Good job yet again adding more paywalled content. And before anyone tells me I can't read and how 'nice' it all is, please go ahead and read it yourself: "In any season, a significant part of the prize fund is free, including one of the exclusive premium vehicles." So in order to get all the vehicles you are in fact forced to pay. Not to mention all the people grinding for the 1 free vehicle completely destroying the gameplay again, like the 1-spawner base-capturing speedy boys from last time.
pay and grind. If you miss some grinding, you payed for nothing. Well made Gaijin.
I am not happy to see this as I played many games that got ruined by battle passes. The patch was almost perfect... I will wait and see before I make a rushed statment, this looks better then any of the building evnts so far... But my hopes are not high Snail.
we can only imagine what kind of unholy grind will be needed. i bet that getting the corsair and T-10 will take a loooong time and a lot of effort. unless i am wrong, which i hope i am. i hope that what is available will be achievable with a normal amount of time and effort. but knowing gaijin i doubt it.
The funny thing is that you won't get the T-10, not without the battle pass.
Convince me, an Air Sim player, to buy this. Will i be able to unlock stuff just by playing a gamemode that is in the game or am i gonna be kicked from this just because i play Air Sim like always? :( BTW: i dont like Battlepass but im an open mind guy. I hate to see this in War Thunder but thats what we have.
https://wiki.warthunder.com/Battle_Pass:_Season_I you can only get super corsair if you dont pay for battle pass
Another feature not available to simulator players I assume?
"purchase the Battle Pass" and how much will it cost??
" the 'Improved Battle Pass' will only cost 500 Golden Eagles for those same 15 levels." That's the price for that one, so the other's gonna be 250-300, my guess.
marrioman13, Check the picture in middle, it is 2000GE.
