Trophies can also be bought for Gold Eagles in the item shop.

Keep an eye out on the game launcher or War Thunder homepage for news of events. The final trophy may contain a guaranteed premium vehicle, with trophies along the way having a very small chance of containing the vehicle. 25 air kills, or 15 match victories, with a trophy reward for each stage. The rewards vary events often have several stages, each of which requires e.g.

Prior to 1.70 rewards were always Silver Lions, now post-battle trophies can contain all sorts of exciting things including silver lions, modifications, backup vehicles and discounts on premium vehicles.Įvery now and again, trophies are available in special events. This is a random event, unconnected with your performance. If you’re lucky, you may get a trophy after a battle (the spinning wheel of rewards pops up on the battle results screen). Most of these are small or medium trophies containing one minor Booster (see next section), but after 7 and 14 days you get a larger reward, potentially including larger boosters and wagers. Daily RewardsĮach day when you log in to War Thunder you should receive a daily reward trophy. There are four main ways to get trophies: as a daily reward, as a random after-battle reward, from special events, or from the shop. Trophies can contain many different rewards, including Silver Lions, Gold Eagles, boosters and premium vehicles. In Update 1.47, War Thunder introduced Trophies, boxes containing random rewards, similar to lockboxes or crates in many other F2P games. It’s worth keeping an eye out for sales in the War Thunder store or on Steam to get the most for your money. If you feel the game is worth it, though, and want to progress a bit faster, by all means buy some Eagles. Like many games of the genre, as you move up the ranks the cost of new aircraft, repairs and the like gets steeper so progress gets a lot slower, but if you’re not too hung up on advancing and enjoying the battles I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You certainly don’t need to buy any Gold Eagles if you don’t want to player skill and teamwork will get you a lot further than just spending money. Gold Eagles have many uses, as outlined later in this post.

Silver Lions are used to purchase regular aircraft and modifications, to repair and resupply aircraft after battles, and to buy up to two extra crew slots. The two currencies are Silver Lions, mostly earned from playing missions and battles, and Gold Eagles, mostly bought with real money. As in many free-to-play games the economy of War Thunder can be slightly confusing, with several types of currencies, rewards, items and so forth.
