A Birthday Wish – My Dream Tank Is the IS-7 🎂❤️

Hello War Thunder Community Preformatted textand Gaijin Team!

My in-game name is blxcksamurai, and I have been playing War Thunder for a long time.

My birthday is on October 22nd, and I wanted to share a little birthday wish with you.

The IS-7 is my absolute dream tank in War Thunder. The T-72M1 Moderna is another one of my all-time favorite vehicles.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy these vehicles myself because of my financial situation. That’s why I wanted to ask if there is any chance that Gaijin might be able to gift me the IS-7 for my birthday. If that isn’t possible, the T-72M1 Moderna would also make me incredibly happy.

Even a temporary one-week access to the IS-7 would mean a lot to me, although owning it permanently would be my biggest dream!

I know these vehicles are special, and I completely understand if this isn’t possible. I just wanted to ask because War Thunder has been part of my gaming life for a long time, and receiving one of my dream tanks would make my birthday truly unforgettable.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and thank you to the developers for creating such an amazing game!

Best regards,
Till

They should have been doing this since the beginning of the time, even one day access is better than nothing.

Wanting something for BD is cool and all, but you gotta keep dreaming if we are talking about IS-7 – devs made it one of the ultimate “end-game” items that you can only get through gambling (which often means a lot of SL), thus giving it an insane value.

They ain’t returning vehicles like IS-7 because there is no interest for devs to make them loose its value on market

Or spent $2000 in marketplace if you have too much money lol

I mean, that’s what I am saying. Making it an extremely rare object makes its value high, and given Gaijin gets a % from marketplace transactions (afaik), there is no sense for them to have it go for cheaper

GJN is monopoly money, gaijin gets 100% profit moment it enters the system. The “fee” is just resource sink to decrease the supply of GJN so that there is incentive to bring in more.

Coincidentally GJN being monopoly money is reason why there isnt marketplace on the consoles - since gaijin would get taxed on transactions made with monopoly money by the store owners.

But why is the is7 , e100 and object 279 that rare to get in sl crates, even tho their are regular event vehicles?

This reminds me of James.
James wanted the IS-7, but couldn’t grind it as his wife had cancer, so he reached out to the Almighty Snail and asked if he could do anything to get it in his situation. Gaijin said yes, and, under the condition that he make a dinner for his wife and kids, and share a photo with them, he would get the IS-7 100% free.
The James story remains one of the best moments of Gaijin, and I hope they could do the same for you.

The official Senrai Maidens anime profile pictures have been available since October 17, 2025. Back then, Maria with the T-80U-E1 (USSR), Elsa with the Leopard 2A4M (Germany), and Kate with the M1A1 HC (USA) were introduced.

On June 3, 2026, three more characters were added: Emily with the Challenger 2 OES (Great Britain), Ling with the MBT-2000 (China), and Usagi with the Type 90 (B) (Japan).

All six characters have their own premium tank bundles featuring matching anime profile pictures, camouflage schemes, decals, and titles. Initially, the profile pictures were tied to their respective premium bundles.

oh its the chinese or japanese one?

far more tasteful and less degenerate than the first ones pfps that are far more common. They were a bit much.
