The German Luftwaffe during WWII employed a special weighted scoring system for its pilots. Depending on the target attacked, the German pilots received a certain score for a successful action, also depending on the front they were fighting on. It proved to be an efficient tool for the High Command to set focus on specific targets, as success, decoration and promotion heavily depended on the aquired score.

We are very pleased to announce that this year, in celebration of the two-year anniversary of War Thunder, we have decided to do something very special for our players. We will throw a big party to celebrate the birthday of the game in the Cyber Stadium club in Moscow, Russia, on November 1st, 2014, and would be glad to see you being a part of it! There you will be able to meet like-minded people, have an opportunity to chat with the development team and, of course, have a good time on the party itself.
