The year is 1945, and the Russian Forces have made it to Berlin. Ferocious fighting encompasses the city, and the Germans are pulling the last of their resources in an attempt to stop the enemy in their tracks. Will the Russians prevail or will the German super-weapons turn the tide of the battle?

We now have a fully organised Mini Event System planned. With a dedicated team working in tandem with the actual event team to provide a consistent experience preluding the actual main event.
Mini-Events are smaller events that are played before the Main Event in which the outcome can effect the main event in smaller but impactful ways such as a less detailed map for the enemy to plan with, easier or harder objectives and more whilst also staying balanced. Coin flips are the second version of this idea which consists of a scenario with 2 outcomes and an effect. This is decided by a coin flip. Only luck will give you the edge over your enemies.
Make sure to state your desired slot that you choose after viewing the document listed in Barn Squad so that an event organiser (which can be found on the Barn Squad Discord server) can add you to the event roster. You can identify open slots by them not having a player name listed next to the vehicle also make sure that you are a member of the Barn Squad Server.
https://discord.gg/TCZMfXBDD9This news article will tell you all you need to know about War Thunders 10th birthday and all of its associated events and sales!
According to Gaijin, War Thunder's release date is when the game launched into open beta on November 1st 2012. As with every launch anniversary there is an associated sale and assortment of events.
The War Thunder anniversary sales are the best sales that come around in the year as it offers 50% discounts on every premium bought using golden eagles. There is a 50% discount on all talismans and 50% discount on 180 day premium account (among other things)
All vehicles that are bought using Silver Lions are also 50% off to purchase which makes it a great time to buy all those vehicles you have been holding off on. The Golden Eagle sale starts on October 31st and end on November 7th
There are no discounts for the “Drone Age” and “Fire and Ice” vehicles , as well as squadron vehicles (including modifications, talismans, and back-ups). -as per the War Thunder website
After the Golden Eagle sale is finished then the War Thunder packs will be on sale for usually 30% off along with special bundles that will become available to purchase that will offer an even heavier discount they can sometimes come with a special title to use in game too. The pack sales will start on November 7th and end on November 14th
You can check out a previously published article on what the best premiums to buy are if you are feeling unsure on what to get.
This years anniversary comes with a number of special events and one of these includes the brand new Sturmtiger heavy assault gun. Unlike many of the other events this event uses a new system to get the awards needed to unlock the tank, you just need to get 35,000 every 2 days, which might sound like a lot but can be done in 2-3 hours which over 2 days is very good especially when compared with previous events.
Other rewards are also available during this event such as decals and 3d decorators.
Is the tank worth it? well that's up to you to decide but I think it is a novelty vehicle and has no practical use in game as its weaponry is extremely awkward to use and is a bigger threat to yourself than to your enemies. The 38CM cannon takes 40 seconds to load on an aced crew and its ballistic arc makes it extremely hard to use over distance but worst of all your armour is almost meaningless as if someone shoots your barrel while you have a round in the chamber then it will instantly detonate destroying your tank.
A great addition to this years anniversary is the ability to get old event vehicles that are no longer obtainable just by playing the game, it uses a similar score system used on the Sturmtiger event so you can do both at the same time.
You can get up to a total of 10 vehicles out of this event however you will likely get fewer as the grind to get them goes up extremely steeply but getting 4-5 should be no issue if you are doing the Stumtiger event.
Both the Sturmtiger and rare vehicle event runs for 2 weeks from October 31s until November 14th
The vehicles on offer are as follows, if you have all the vehicles then you will get 3 days premium instead per unlock.
The Maus is back for research for those of you interested in super heavy tanks, there's too much to be said about the tank that can be covered in this article. The ability to get the Maus nowadays is relatively rare so I would recommend trying to put at least 1 research point into it as then it will not disappear when the event ends and you will be free to research it whenever you wish. To be able to research the Maus you must be able to research rank V vehicles in the German ground tech tree.
There are a variety of tournaments on during the anniversary sales from 1v1 up all the way to 5v5.
There are a limited number of T-34 Prototypes and the German M4A2 75 for sale however I would recommend not purchasing them as they are extremely overpriced and not good for grinding.
There are premium PT boats also for sale but like the ground vehicles mentioned above they are not worth the asking price.
Play 1 battle between October 31st and November 14th to get a special 10 year anniversary decal.
Enjoy War Thunder's 10th Anniversary sale whilst you can, it's a BIG ONE!

British, Italian and German forces are fighting in Africa with no real winner in sight. An Attack has been planned by both sides to push back the other side. This battle will decide if the Axis get pushed back out to the sea or if they create a breakthrough, cementing their foothold in northern Africa. The Event During the years of 1940 to 1942 there was much fighting in the northern parts of Africa between the Axis and the Allies. The following battle is to demonstrate a decisive battle in the region and will be played out in War Thunder in the form of a 64 player, ground and air strategic event.
Two different but same battles will be taking place, with different vehicles and nations. The first Battle will be held with the Germans and British and the second one will be held with Italian and British vehicles.

Gamemode: PVE Realistic Without Tags
Players: 64 Players on US side
Background After the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour in early December 1941, the Japanese forces are on an unstoppable course to extend their influence in the Pacific. And while one island after another is conquered by their experienced Navy, the USA can only watch. The Japanese prepare to advance further into the pacific targeting Wake Island, Midway and Hawaii itself. The USA must try its best to stop them there and deliver a decisive blow to their fleet.
The Event Early June 1942. Midway Atoll. Japan is preparing to deliver a decisive blow to one of the most important US Navy naval bases in the Pacific. Under the command of Isoroku Yamamoto, leading the invasion fleet from the Yamato, and Chūichi Nagumo, leading the Kidō Butai combined fleet from the Akagi, their mission is to destroy the airstrip, hangars and naval yards in a surprise attack while also preparing for an devastating strike on any incoming US reinforcements. Unbeknownst to them however, Chester W. Nimitz, in conjunction with the excellent work of the US intelligence department, was able to predict the Japanese plan, sending Task force 16 and 17 as reinforcements in advance. The subsequent clash and battle, filled with hard decisions and luck, will make its way into the history books as on of the most important battles in the Pacific theatre of all time. -----------------------------------
Event features With the main target being the defence of Midway and the US Task forces, there will also be multiple side quest that can change the course of battle. The players have to dynamically react to new orders while also trying to not lose focus on the main task. While not being as important as the defence itself, losing too many side quest can also lead to defeat in the long run. PVE This is gonna be a PVE event. So players are all on one side while fighting against bots. Something we have not done before. So this is gonna be an interesting experience for all of us.
