We’ve got some news to share with you. From now on, we’ll be using a brand-new event cycle where events will start almost consecutively and will (wherever possible) be tied to real-life events.
In addition to this, each event — except the Winter event and some cosmetic only events — will only have one vehicle dedicated to them. Every event will last on average 12-18 days, where when it finishes, there’ll be a small pause of a few days until the next one begins.
The first event in this new cycle is due to start very soon — keep an eye out for all of the details surrounding this on January 25th.
Since each event will only have one vehicle, today we’re announcing the first three: the first event will have a Tank as the main reward, the event after will have an Aircraft as the main reward, and the event after a Naval Vessel, where events will follow this general cycle throughout the year.
Each event will be mission points based to earn tasks, where the amount of mission points required to obtain each task depends on the vehicle’s rank. The required amount will range from 35,000 to 45,000 mission points for each task (usually per 2 days).
That’s about it! If you’ve got some questions, we’ve got some answers. Check out the FAQ that we’ve prepared.
Q: If each event will only have one vehicle, will there be ground, air and naval vehicle rewards in the future?
A: Yes. As mentioned in the news, the first event will be dedicated to a tank, the event after will be dedicated to an aircraft, and the one after, a naval vessel. Afterwards, a repeated cycle of each vehicle type (in most cases) will occur.
Q: With this format, does this mean that there’ll always be events throughout the year?
A: Yes. However it depends on the month and when events finish or start, but generally there will be 2-3 days of no events until the next event starts. The longest current gap planned is almost 1 month in the summer until the next one starts.
Q: Why have you chosen this format?
A: Based on player feedback, we want to provide players with ways to obtain all vehicles in events rather than only a select few. With consecutive events, players will be able to obtain vehicle types they want and miss vehicles they don’t want.
Q: Does this mean there’s no more crafting events?
A: Yes. Crafting events in their previous format will no longer be a thing in War Thunder.
Q: Will the types of vehicle rewards change compared to how old events worked?
A: Each event will only be dedicated to one vehicle (with the exception of the Winter event). The type of vehicle in each event will be a mix of high, medium and low tiers, where the required number of mission points, tasks and stage purchase cost will vary in each event depending on the vehicle’s rank.
Q: Will events tied to real-life events have related cosmetics?
A: Yes, where possible. When an event is tied to a real-life event, it will have related cosmetics too. However, not all events will be tied to something — it will be tied wherever possible. If it’s not possible, the event theme will be something unrelated, and random.

Comments will be premoderatedWill these Vehicles be tradeable on the Market?
richthofen122, Hi, in most of these events, yes. Keep an eye out for the details about coupons in each event's announcement.
Will we still be able to GE the missing stages of each vehicle? And will the GE prices be adjusted according to the rank of each vehicle?
OGBacon, Hi. Yes. Yes, as mentioned in the FAQ. "The type of vehicle in each event will be a mix of high, medium and low tiers, where the required number of mission points, tasks and stage purchase cost will vary in each event depending on the vehicle’s rank."
Will it still be the case that you need to play air for the plane cycle etc? Or are the mission points acquired for every battle type now regardless of reward?
milansoede, Hi. Yes that will still be the case. The first event will have a tank as the main reward, so you'll need to play ground forces to earn mission points for example.
I have a few questions: What will the minimum and maximum br be of such an event vehicle? Will all nations be represented in the event or will it be US, GE and RU focused (in the context of 2-3 event vehicles for the main three and 1 vehicle for minor nations)? Will helicopters also be included in the events? Will we get mission based events (get 40 kills with bombs or kill 20 strike aircraft) as well or just points based?
Cool
Will it be like the previous star events in terms of time to complete each star (2 days) and points required (around 40k)?
CTCrusader, Hi! Almost, but it depends on the vehicle's rank as mentioned in the news. -> "Each event will be mission points based to earn tasks, where the amount of mission points required to obtain each task depends on the vehicle’s rank. The required amount will range from 35,000 to 45,000 mission points for each task (usually per 2 days)."
Will we be able to trade the rewards on the marketplace?
Very interesting. We'll have to wait to see how this turns out, however, from the sound of it, it's certainly not a bad thing.
