Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone, from Norway! Be safe all!
Nice. Merry Christmas!
Event without P-51 is not an event, neither holiday nor Christmas. Dear Santa I want my P-51A I was a good child.
why no discount on Harrier? you would have got some money from me :(
We don't discount newest vehicles.
how to get the title “Santa’s Little Helper”? and how can i get the new year trophy?
It's part of Social Media contest
Looks nice :D
"Raining of Fire" was excluded from the 8th Anniversary of War Thunder. Why is it now also excluded?
Would it have killed you guys to put discounts on ALL vehicles in the games even those recently added, was really looking forward to being able to buy a MiG-21bis
Will there be a GE sale?
GE are never is sale
Merry Christmas, but Where is Settings in this game? I play WarThunder and game has no "settings"
