Introduction:
War Thunder currently offers static profile backgrounds that allow players to personalize their account. While these backgrounds add individuality, they remain limited in visual impact. This suggestion proposes introducing animated profile backgrounds , available exclusively to Premium account holders, as a way to enhance personalization and reward Premium membership.
Context:
Many online games and platforms have adopted animated or dynamic profile features (e.g., animated avatars, banners, or backgrounds) as a way to distinguish premium users. War Thunder already provides Premium players with unique benefits such as boosters, vehicles, and customization options. Animated backgrounds would be a natural extension of this philosophy, offering a cosmetic futures.
The Suggestion:
Introduce animated profile backgrounds as a Premium-exclusive feature:
- Availability: Only accessible to Premium account holders.
- Customization: Players can select from a curated set of animated backgrounds (e.g., moving clouds over an airfield, tanks rolling in formation, naval waves, aircraft flybys).
- Performance Options: Include a toggle to disable animations for users who prefer static visuals or have performance concerns.
- Future Expansion: Animated backgrounds could be tied to events, achievements, or seasonal content.
How It Works:
- Accessible via the Profile → Customization menu.
- Premium users can choose from a list of animated backgrounds.

Possible drawbacks:

Conclusion:
Animated profile backgrounds would be a quality-of-life cosmetic feature that enhances personalization, rewards Premium players, and adds visual flair to War Thunder’s community spaces. By keeping them exclusive to Premium accounts, Gaijin can strengthen the value of Premium membership.
