[2023] Rankings Challenge: Season 1

The first season of Rankings Challenge begins! In its debut you’ll earn unique camouflages and titles, and the best of the best will enter the finals with a prize pool of over $3000! Can you play War Thunder well? Then the prize can be yours!

From April 24th until May 22nd fight in daily competitions “Wings of Prey” (1v1 aviation), “Shoulder to Shoulder” (2v2 ground vehicles) and “Fire Front” (5v5 mixed battles) and earn prizes in each of them!

Enter Rankings Challenge You don’t have to search for long — just press Battles → Rankings Challenge in the War Thunder client. The competitions are divided between air, ground, and mixed battles, and do not overlap in the schedule.

In Rankings Challenge, each participant receives a preset collection of upgraded vehicles and an experienced crew that allows the players to prove who’s stronger on an equal footing. Decals and decorations are disabled during Rankings Challenge battles. Parity is also enforced by the same limit of battles per day for each player, a realistic battle mode with markers, and small difference margin of battle rating of your competitors that you’ll be able to meet in the battles.

Assemble your team, stay up-to-date and take part in discussions by joining the official eSport War Thunder discord server[discord.gg]! There you will find the section dedicated to ranked battles!
