We're happy to present the new "Apex Predators" trophy that contains 40 new camouflages created by talented authors on the https://live.warthunder.com/feed/all/ portal!

It's really easy to earn the new trophy — just keep playing War Thunder. To open the trophy you’ll need to purchase a key on the Market (income is shared with the authors of the camouflages). The key allows you to get a coupon for a camo, rare vehicle, or Apex Predators decal. It is you to decide - activate the coupon on your account, or trade it on the Market to get Gaijin Coins (GJN). Also, a trophy can be sold too!
