Unique trophy rewards: the premium Bfw. Jagdpanther G1 platoon and light cruiser “Maxim Gorky” in the Medium Trophy container, and the premium Merkava Mk.1 platoon and Battleship HMS Marlborough in the Big Trophy container.

The Medium Trophies of the Season are opened for War Bonds. One campaign needs 6,000 bonds to get two guaranteed jackpots.

Ways to get the War Bonds:

• 300 bonds are awarded as a gift with the start of the Season to players of Level 3 or higher of any campaign;
• Reward for completing the tasks of the season;
• Rewards in the Season task progress bar;
• Battle Pass rewards;
• Reward from Small or Medium Trophies (10 to 300 items);
• Season Offers and Store.

The race for vehicles in the Big Trophy container begins a week from today, on September 12th, 2024.

Battle Pass

Complete special tasks, level up your Battle Pass and receive rewards for your completed steps.

When you purchase the VIP pass, you instantly receive premium camouflages on vehicles from the Medium Trophies of both campaigns, as well as automatically completing 10 steps from the Battle Pass lineup. If you have already purchased an upgraded BP, the cost of the VIP pass will be reduced.

Camouflages for vehicles from the Medium Trophy are given out when you purchase a VIP pass, regardless if you have the vehicles.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards are already open! To join the ship leaderboard, a minimum of 5 naval battles is required, and for the tank leaderboard you need to have participated in at least 5 battles using ground vehicles.

The rating season ends on September 26th, 2024, at 10:00 (GMT). Rewards will be distributed within a few days after the leaderboards are frozen. It’s important to note that rewards may be given out at different times for different leaderboards.

Changes in Big Trophies

Commanders! As you already know, preparations for the Aircraft campaign launch are coming to a close. The principle of rewards in the Aircraft Trophies is different from the Tank and Ship campaigns. We had to make some changes to the rules for opening Big Trophies in order to set up the season rewards correctly.

Starting with the current season, the following rules will apply to the Big Trophies:

• The number of keys in the sets has been doubled.
• The number of openings for guaranteed jackpot from the Big Trophy has been doubled.
• The number of keys that can be obtained in rewards has been increased by 2 times:
• 2 keys instead of 1 – for the 4th step of progress of the Season's task scale;
  • 2 keys instead of 1 – in ship and tank rating awards for the top-10% players at the end of the Season;
  • 2 keys instead of 1 – in the Battle Pass scale;
  • doubled the number of keys that can be dropped from the Medium Trophies.
• The size of rewards in Silver Lions, Golden Eagles and Keys for a one Big Trophy opening has been changed.

Note that in the future (not in the current season), the game will have an Aircraft campaign ranking where you can also get keys.

Changes

• "Sturms-S" – the list of available ATGMs for use has been temporarily limited to one tandem ATGMs – 9M120 "Ataka". Will be fixed with the next major update.
• Courbet – the minimum number of crew has been reduced by ~8%, this will increase the survivability of the ship.
• “Svetlyy”, IJN Kako, HMS Cornwall – a bug that caused the ship's card to show x2 of the real damage of guns. Also the typos in the fire rate characteristics have been corrected. Now the correct values are shown in the ship cards. Actual damage and fire rate have not changed.

Other

• The readability of white interface texts on light colored maps has been improved.
• The optimization has been improved, the FPS has been normalized.

We wish you victory and a great experience playing War Thunder Mobile!
