Happy Birthday, War Thunder! The War Thunder open beta test began on November 1st 2012. Just think, that was 13 years ago! We’ve come a long way together since then, and we’re happy to invite all of you to celebrate the game’s birthday with us!
Following the in-game and store discounts, we’re pleased to be introducing the unique XF5U-1 in the Dreams Come True event, another chance to get the legendary Maus tank, and a celebratory decal to commemorate War Thunder’s 13th anniversary. Check it all out!

When: From October 31st (11:00 GMT) until November 14th (11:00 GMT).
Take part in the Dreams Come True event and get a fun pancake profile frame, decals, a loading screen and the XF5U-1 “Flying Flapjack”, also known as the pancake!
The XF5U-1 is essentially one large wing, allowing you to perform sharp turns and frankly incredible stall maneuvers. This master of dogfighting is armed with six .50 cals and really does look like a classic UFO, and pancake too of course!
Learn more about the XF5U-1 event here
When: From October 31st (11:00 GMT) until November 6th (11:00 GMT).
Task: Play 1 battle with any vehicle at rank III or higher in any game mode to get the “War Thunder’s 13th Anniversary” decal.
Get War Thunder’s 13th anniversary commemorative decal for playing one battle!

When: From October 31st (11:00 GMT) until November 6th (11:00 GMT).
A regular guest during our anniversary celebrations is the Maus tank, which you can start researching during the specified dates!
- To start researching the Maus, you need to have rank V of the German ground forces tree unlocked for research.
- Spend research points or convert free research into the Maus within the specified time period! If you put any research towards the Maus (even a single point), it will not disappear after the event ends, meaning you’ll be able to finish researching it at any time you like after the event.

When: From October 29th (11:00 GMT) until November 3rd (11:00 GMT).
Up to 50% off on many packs in the Gaijin.Net Store!

Happy 13th anniversary, WT! I hope we get to celebrate the 13th year together. But I was really disappointed that you didn’t share any post about the **29th of October, Republic Day (Turkey)** :(
Happy birthday, I'm glad you exist Gaijin

You do realize that censoring my posts that have valid questions in them just makes me want to play your game even less than I already do, right?
