4s Winter holidays are all about having fun,
7s spending quality time with your loved ones and snow.
11s Lots of snow.
13s Not just in real life:
14s it’s absolutely the same in War Thunder.
17s Thanks to user-made camouflages, any tanker,
20s pilot or captain can quickly bring more holiday spirit to their hangar.
24s And to make it easier,
25s we compiled a list of really cool holiday or winter-themed camouflages
30s made by other players in the community.
32s Get ready for very unusual versions of fearsome combat vehicles
37s with lots of fireworks and Christmas crackers!
43s Near the end of 2021,
45s the Japanese tech tree received the most advanced MBT available to the JSDF,
50s the Type 10.
52s A user called KuldueV
54s made a very eye-catching winter camouflage for this tank.
58s Look at those wide blue and white stripes
60s and cool tones that are in stark contrast
63s to the furious firepower of the tank’s 120-mm smoothbore cannon.
68s That’s the Yukidaruma skin for the Type 10
71s which is as swift and dangerous as a sudden snowstorm.
78s Archangel23 created this glorious Santa’s Sleigh camo
82s for the British Lancaster B. Mk. III.
85s Imagine a majestic bomber painted in this rich red color
89s gracefully making its way to its intended target
92s to deliver 6.5 tons of precious explosive gifts of different weights,
97s from 250 lbs to 1,000 lbs.
100s And any fighters that dare to spoil the fun
103s by interfering with the Lancaster will quickly be dealt with
106s by a hail of bullets from its battery of Brownings!
112s Remember that during our winter holidays,
114s there are many places around the world that see no snow at all.
118s For instance, in December 1942,
120s British tankers that were fighting in the sands of Libya were very much removed
124s from the reality of winter holidays as they knew them
127s but that didn’t prevent those soldiers from celebrating.
130s On the contrary, they eagerly decorated one of their Shermans
133s with Christmas and New Year greetings.
136s Many years later, a user known as Evpilot
139s commemorated that event by making this special camouflage for the Sherman II.
143s Thanks to this camo, you can feel the holiday spirit
146s even in the sun-scorched sands of a vast desert!
152s A user called Pacifica
154s also made a camouflage as a tribute to a specific historical event.
158s 2019 was a very special year for the Japanese pilots
161s of the 302nd squadron of the JASDF:
165s after half a century of employing the American Phantom,
168s it was finally time for them to say goodbye to this legendary series of aircraft.
173s This unique color scheme for the F-4 EJ Kai
176s was created to commemorate its last flight in the service of the squadron.
181s In War Thunder, this snow white Phantom looks amazing on winter maps.
185s The lightning-quick supersonic jet is always ready to give hell to its opponents
190s with its powerful cannon and bombs.
198s Let’s get back to ground vehicles for a second.
201s The Puma armored car is known for its relatively small size
205s and powerful weapons used by some of its variants.
208s Here’s a simple but very well-made snow camouflage for one of those versions,
213s the Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234/2,
217s made by guywh0hasagun.
219s This color scheme is just perfect for the Puma,
222s highlighting the fast and aggressive nature of this combat vehicle.
228s When it comes to combining aircraft and the holiday spirit,
231s look no further than this Christmas-themed ITP M-1
235s made by LammeMiklas.
237s The nose of the fighter looks like a brightly-colored Christmas candy,
241s and it’s even more spectacular when the propeller is spinning.
244s Don’t let this cheerful exterior fool you though:
247s behind the pretty looks,
248s there’s a 37-mm cannon that makes short work of lightly armored targets!
256s There were a lot of highly anticipated vehicles
258s that finally made it to War Thunder in 2022,
261s including the infamous Sturmtiger.
263s And here’s a winter camouflage for this big boy
266s prepared by PetrKDN.
269s A combination of white, green and black stripes
272s does a very good job of hiding the monstrous 380-mm mortar
277s that can easily eliminate anything you see.
281s The last work on the list is this glorious Grandfather Frost camouflage
286s for the Soviet La-5,
287s made by Sabro.
289s This skin made its debut in War Thunder many years ago,
293s and the game changed a lot since then.
295s We introduced 3rd and 4th generation fighters,
298s modern MBTs, battleships, cruisers and hundreds of other vehicles...
303s but this Grandfather Frost-themed beauty
306s was always there and always ready to lighten up our day
309s with the shining light of a golden star on its fuselage.
313s Ho-ho-ho, Air Battles, here we come!
320s Feel free to go all out dressing your tanks,
322s planes and helicopters in Christmas livery:
325s your trusty vehicles certainly deserve to be a part of the celebrations.
329s Happy holidays to you all!
330s And see you in battle!
