Who?
My name used to be Stalin’s Organ - a double entendre in a previous century and a different game.
I ported it to this one and got pinged for using “stalin”… so now it is Josephs Piano instead of Stalin’s Organ

His profile picture is from an event 9 years ago. Dont think you can get it.
My username is a nickname that was given to an anime character - combination of Zettai (absolute) and Ken (Sword) in the show they were known for being unbeatable, hence the nickname, and I really liked the character so picked the name.
Those who are decently versed in anime probably know exactly what show it is, it was a very well known show lol.
Side note: I first started using this name way back in 2014 not long after the show first aired, I have no relation to the Valorant esports player also known as Zekken who STOLE MY NAME! I use it in many other games and have for many years, so there are other games where I have been asked “are you the REAL Zekken!?” and I just say “yes” because I am as far as I’m concerned.
My Forum Avatar is what my War Thunder avatar was, I chose it because I main japan, and have finished both the air and ground trees (Minus the new Thai aircraft) and Spaded the entire air tree (again minus thai), and am only missing 2-3 ground vehicles that aren’t spaded.
My Current Avatar in the game itself is the Strikemaster Pilot one, because I’m from New Zealand and that was the first fully Kiwi Aircraft in the game. (and 2nd vehicle I believe, after HMNZS Leander but I barely play Naval)

Back in late 2022 I found a new world of tanks like game for my phone. As I thought my old username was a bit wierd (Maxskywalker) I was a big fan of starwars but I was really young back then, I wanted to make a new name. So I was thinking of something interresting and I somehow came on LostPlayer. Player because I play a lot and Lost because I’m lost in such games. Because 2023 was close I called myself LostPlayer2023. Since then its my name on any game.

Übermacht is how the car brand BMW is called in the GTA series, and i use a german profile picture because i am german, and also i think it is the first time for literal ages (even at all maybe) that we have gotten an axis profile picture in an event.

My name is accompanying me since waaay before WT, and contains the nickname I had as a kid among friends (coming from my family name…), and later got the second part added when I did my biology masters thesis on bees.
As to vehicle decorations, I always like to give them a Swiss touch, being the proud Helvetian that I am, haha!
And I also create a lot of skins showing historical, semi historical and also purely fictional (but always patterned after typical Swiss Air Force camouflage and marking standards) schemes. And as I’m very proud to say, two of them even having been added to market crates already, my Milan patterned after a Mirage IIIRS I have a strong personal connection to, and a P-16 as it could have looked if it ever went into production for the Swiss AF!
The profile pic I chose because it represents my current activity in WT, mainly flying high tier aircraft.

My username has a somewhat odd story. I replaced the older one I disliked with the one I’ve got RN, simply cause I liked those German ships names like Z-42, Z-44, U-8, etc, so I chose this.
I try to maintain the customization of my vehicles as historically accurate as possible. For every single one I dive into the Internet searching for reference pictures. Other times I got a little too patriotic and customized some US tanks (M47, M48 and M41) with Spanish markings. Man, if I knew doing custom skins I’d make a lot related to Spain, it’s a very overlooked nation with a more than interesting military history.
My profile picture is related to my past in a War Thunder Community I was in, where I led a French team (representing the nation of France). I was obsessed with the invasion of France form the allied perspective, learning about topics like the Battle of Hannut. I was a big fan of armored cars such as the AMD.35 and tanks like the S.35 and H.35, and so a French tanker was what I saw as the best choice.

Nick: I was a Mega Man X fan as a kid. Sigma is the antagonist, Zero is the protagonist, combining them to make a name made sense to me when I was a wee lad. It didn’t put any thought into it when I created my PSN account, tbh, I just needed an account to play online, so now I’m stuck with the double underscore. People today often think I chose it for the modern “sigma” brainrot slang and that’s kind of funny.
Avatar: Because I did the Winter Tales event grind. Lady looks nice, so why not. Before that I had a Soviet jet pilot and a German tanker, because I like modern Russian jets and German WW2 tanks.
Vehicles: Depends on nation and BR. For some vehicles I try to make them look historically accurate, with numbers, roundels and insignia. For Russian vehicles I also like adding the WW2 slogans somewhere.
For certain nations (e.g. when don’t have historically accurate decals) or vehicles like the T-34s I add goofy faces with eyes and mouth decals. If the vehicle is bad I add a frowny face. For example, my T-34-57 has eyes on the turret, a mustache and a sombrero hat decoration, so I call it “Señor T-34”.
Speaking of decorations, I also like adding the anime pillows somewhere and the teddy bear with the heart on top of the tank, either on top of the barrel or the commander’s cupola. Why? Because it’s funny. Especially when you use them against people who hate anime.

Its got the same gun as a 6.3 tank with the turret armour of one from 6.7, at 7.7. It was a 6.7 heavy back in the day and I’m not asking for that again however I do think it should become 7.0 so that its next to the really powerful American heavies at that BR which it matches more than conqueror and IS3

Profile picture: I am focusing on Japan (all five vehicle classes) and I think this Japanese avatar is the coolest.
In-game name: Obviously unguided rockets are the best weapon type in the game and as a helicopter enjoyer I like FFARs/Hydras.

I took the nickname from this fella: Stonka Ziemniaczana - Colorado potato beetle is called “Stonka” in Poland. Stonka/Stona = same thing, Stona sounds more “serious” in PL language.
For some time I used Gen. Maczek avatar, but then I discovered some rare anime one and now I am using it (so it’s easier to find my posts).
Usually I personalize vehicles according to historical photos + some 3d decorations that fits.
Exception - some tank mg’s on turret are controlled by cat :D
And if there is available market camo (and it’s not expensive), I prefere to use it instead of default camo+decals.

My username comes from the fact that I play Japan mostly and that I liked the Type 89(before being “corrected”), my pfp honestly I just rotate between China and Japan, currently I have the Chinese tanker one but I change every now and then so nothing special, I personalize my tanks to look as authentic as possible but this has been difficult since weekly decals never came back for the usual rotation, so now the only way to get authentic decals are trough small events, I ain’t paying for BP
