Welcome to War Thunder’s first event of 2025! January 29th marks the Lunar New Year, and this year it’s the Year of the Snake! Celebrate it in this event, which features themed decals, a decoration and a camouflage for the new and obtainable British FV4030/3 Shir 2 medium tank.
From January 17th (11:00 GMT) until February 4th (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Ground Battles, unlock stages and receive rewards!
FV4030/3 Shir 2 — An Event Vehicle Medium Tank for Great Britain at Rank VI
The FV4030/3 Shir 2 is a modified and modernized Chieftain, designed in Great Britain to meet the needs of Iran. Featuring a 1,200 HP engine, the FV4030/3 can reach speeds of up to 56 km/h and can fire the L23 APFSDS round from its 120 mm gun. Additionally with a laser rangefinder, this tank is good for long-range engagements!
Among the rewards in the event is also this chest. When opened, there is a chance to receive one of the following items:
- 50,000 - 100,000 Silver Lions
- Silver Lion and Research Point boosters
- Random Wagers and Orders
- Universal Backups (1 - 3)
- A random camouflage for a vehicle you own
- 1 day of Premium Account
How to get all rewards
Each stage can be obtained for 45,000 mission points, where every new stage obtained will give you a new reward.
Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Enter the Serpent” and click the “Get Reward” button.
You’re able to earn mission points in Ground Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.
You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.
Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on January 19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th, 31st and February 2nd.
Rewards are given when you complete a specific number of stages
- For 1 Stage: trophy with a random reward
- For 2 Stages: one of the decal rewards
- For 3 Stages: trophy with a random reward
- For 4 Stages: one of the decal rewards
- For 5 Stages: trophy with a random reward
- For 6 Stages: the “Ouroboros” decoration
- For 7 Stages: trophy with a random reward
- For 8 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the FV4030/3
- For 9 Stages: a unique camouflage and 4 random modifications for the FV4030/3
Please note: You can only receive the modifications if the FV4030/3 is activated on your account.
Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles
Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.
Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 39,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 43,000 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!
The Upgrade for coupon
When you complete 8 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the FV4030/3, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from January 17th (11:00 GMT) until February 4th (11:00 GMT) for 750,000 mission points.
After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.
To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon FV4030/3 (Great Britain)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until 11:00 GMT on February 7th. Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.
You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Enter the Serpent. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until February 7th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.

No L26 shells?
L26 didn't exist when this was made
probably because it will just be yet another 10.7 challenger 1 we don't need anymore, a lower br vehicle would be nice instead
750k grind in 18 days.. bring it to meeee
The FV4030/3 Shir 2 is a modified and modernized Chieftain?????? you mean challenger 1?
Nope, A chieftain. Shir's became before Challenger 1 and Challenger 1 was based on Shir 2
While it eventually became the Challenger 1 after various changes following the fall of Pahlavi Iran, the Shir 2 is still a Chieftain
good
How much do you figure it could get on the "market"?
I would have preferred some Italian, Hungarian or Romanian land vehicle but ok, if not for this warthunder event I wouldn't open it
Why no Iranian decals then?
Really cool tank, any idea what BR it could be?
10.3 most likely.
What's Br?
I'm calling it the Challieftain
