War Thunder celebrates its 12th birthday on November 1st. It was on this day in 2012 that the game entered open testing. Since then, it has become larger and has grown incredibly in scale and ambition, winning the love of millions of players around the world.
We started the celebrations a week ago with in-game discounts and continued with discounts in the Gaijin Store, which is still ongoing. Now it’s time for the last stage of the celebration! Earn the premium KV-7 in the Dreams Come True event, get some awesome Esports camouflages from Twitch Drops, decorate your vehicles with an anniversary decal, and of course, the much-loved Maus temporarily returns to be researched, typical to our anniversary event.

When: From November 1st (11:00 GMT) until November 13th (11:00 GMT).
