Hi all! Lately we have received a huge amount of feedback from players and have been hard at work analyzing, processing and preparing to answer your questions. The most heated discussion came from questions on the economy, and we will definitely answer these too once we’ve had time to look through them all! In addition to dozens of thousands of feedback messages from players, we received a long list of questions from our War Thunder content creators from YouTube, Twitch and other platforms. While we are still analyzing requests and suggestions from players, today we’ll answer some questions from our creators, maybe you’ll find answers to your questions here too. Let’s go!

The Swedish Home Guard was founded on May 29th, 1940, as World War II was heating up. Sweden managed to remain neutral, so the Home Guard never participated in battles. Today 20 000 people are still ready to join the ranks by the Command’s decree — and sometimes help out with rescue missions and police work.




From May 26th (12:00 GMT) until May 30th (12:00 GMT), play 3 battles using Swedish vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the ““Emblem of the National Home Guard Combat School”” decal.





Complete the task in random battles, except for Enduring Confrontation missions and [Assault] mode. Track your progress in the hangar by clicking Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → Swedish Home Guard Day.

The Israel Defense Forces were created on May 26th, 1948, during the Arab-Israeli War, uniting the existing paramilitary groups. They began with no aircraft and with merely three tanks, but soon evolved into one of the most professional and well-armed armies in the world. In all conflicts involving Israel Defense Forces they emerged victorious.

In 1947, President Harry Truman unified various parts of the US Armed Forces under a single chain of command, and in 1950 he dedicated a day to commemorate them all — the third Saturday of May.

Now the US Armed forces employ over 1.3 million people: they are the biggest and most advanced in the world.
