War Thunder guide: Sales, premiums, and premium account

+1 to what RocGeodem said about the CV 90105. One of the best light tanks in the game, hands down. Not only is its APFSDS round great, it has tandem charge missiles. Not a ton of armor pen on it’s missiles (550mm) however, they will chew through even T-72AV (TURMS) and pretty much any other MBT it encounters. Gen 3 gunner and commander thermal sights, -10 degrees gun depression.

The online store packs should be going on sale either tomorrow, or ~1 week. The CV 90105 typically goes on sale, if you want to keep an eye for news on when the sale happens.

I’ve updated this guide for the new Firebirds packs.

Might help to note that the A6E is no longer available for purchase. Seems Gaijin took it off.

Will come back in the Future as a GE Purchase i guess

Considering it is a rank 7 premium, it’s still useful to have here. It’s not the only hidden premium in the list. I have Bostwick’s P-47 in there too.

I have 10999 GE to spend on Christmas Sale. I dont have any premiums yet but I am a good player. What should I buy? Definitly premium time, but which mid tier premiums would you suggest? I got a talisman for the M24 Chaffee and I love it. I like playing Ground RB and Air RB. I just want to have fun vehicles. I think I find the IAR-81C and the G.55 interesting. I played War Thunder a few years ago, back then I also liked the M26 and the Panther A and such tanks. Now I started new on PC. Just tell me, which vehicles you would find fun. I dont really like the M4A5. I want Mid Tier Tanks and Planes from WW2 Era. I also got a personal Discount for the USS Moffatt -75% but idk if I like Naval, never played it. What would you guys suggest? I really love this guide!

Howdy! You’ve described a very broad array of things you would be interested in, so I’ll list vehicles I have personal experience with as well as one for each that I don’t have, most people think are fun/good. You’ve said you’re interested in WW2 era stuff so I’ll also try to keep these around that ERA/BR range. I’m also going to skip nations or individual TT’s if I haven’t played them, but you shouldn’t exclude them when you choose; I just haven’t time or money to grind them yet.

With so many changes I wanted to know what you think about Bison 12.3 and the Mirage premiun 12.0. The Lazur also looks interesting to me.

Pack sales are up. [Shop] Holiday Sale in the Store

It’s kind of the same. It got moved from 11.7 to 12.3, but then all the stuff around it got moved up by the same amount so not much changes.

What do you think about Challenger 2 (OES)?

Will there be 50% off pack sales next month?

I cannot predict what will happen, but thanks for reminding me to update this.

Why isn’t this pinned? It’s a excellent thread and very helpful for new players.

They also didn’t pin the report on how rewards are actually calculated, and I find myself repeatedly linking to it in various threads and subreddit posts. I presume reasoning is the same: knowing when sales are makes people more responsible spenders, and knowing what goes into your rewards makes you more efficient at grinding.

For what it’s worth, the /r/warthunder sub has this linked in its sidebar.

Say bye to that!

anyone have any idea if the puma with the 75mm Pak gun will ever come back?

Wdym, you can buy it at gaijin market all year around or sometimes its in the SL crates.

Thank god it’s going away.

It’s updated for Storm Warning, Hornet’s Sting, and some of the BR changes that have happened. Next time I update this, it’s definitely getting split into 2 parts because I am 800 characters away from the character limit.
