Removed/Unique/Exclusive Naval Skins List

Hello everyone!

I had an issue finding any list of unique camouflages in the game, so I have decided to collect them for posterity / future reference. These camouflages cannot be unlocked through regular gameplay, GE or Gaijin store.

Additionally, each of the major event vehicles (e.g. these awarded in Operation S.U.M.M.E.R.) typically have their own unique camos that can or cannot be sold on the market. These are intentionally missing from the list. And just to be clear: this list is intentionally missing tournament camos that can be bought on the market.

did not get any unique (non-tradeable, non-event vehicle) camouflages, as far as I’m aware.


Final remarks:

  • Non-italic means I don’t know the exact name of the skin in the game (e.g. “eSport”)
  • To view images in a larger size, right-click on the image and open it in a new tab. All of them are down-sized to 100px, but each was uploaded in a higher resolution.
  • Vast majority of pre-orders do not have unique camouflages. Instead, they offer titles and/or decals and/or 3d decorations.
  • 2020 Tank Biathlon and Sea Biathlon had only blue camouflage for the naval vessels, while ground vehicles also got green, yellow and red. Info known thanks to @Inceptor57.
  • USS Brooklyn - 2019 War Thunder Youtube Cup (pictured below) was a separate vehicle, much like other YouTube Cup vehicles, BUT none of the winners has selected it, so the “USS Brooklyn (YouTube Cup)” vessel with its unique camouflage was never released to the game! It’s basically the rarest unit in the game, with ZERO of them distributed.
  • Special thanks for @島風 for providing some of the screenshots! You’re great!

Updated with further info from @島風, including fascinating insight into the USS Brooklyn in its unique camouflage.

Kind of silly that there are so many rare, neat camouflages that aren’t released again…

Especially when Naval vehicles already have so few unique camos to begin with.

Added images for the PT-3 - “eSport” camouflage and filled in its missing name.

Much like all the other images on my list, you can click these tiny miniatures to see the images in the full resolution. That skin is absolutely amazing, I wish we would have more of those one-off racing skins…

On the hangar screenshots, the water was flat, because they were made made on 2024-10-15, right before the bug that removed the waves was fixed the next day (or a day after). I even posted a suggestion, to add this flat water surface permanently to the game as ‘0 on the Beaufort scale’ - it is a real thing that can happen - but the suggestion was instantly declined ☠ (yes, I’m still salty, lol).
