| 5s | On the 24th of July, a brand new battle pass season started in War Thunder: |
|---|---|
| 10s | “Skilled Marksman”. |
| 12s | You know how it works: complete simple missions and earn lots of valuable rewards! |
| 16s | As always, one premium vehicle can be unlocked for free, |
| 20s | and you can also unlock two extra ones by spending 2,000 Golden Eagles. |
| 25s | Naturally, there are lots of other goodies waiting for you in the battle-pass: |
| 29s | unique decorators, decals, different boosters, you name it! |
| 36s | As usual, the first big reward is waiting for you at level 14: ten days of premium. |
| 42s | It’ll allow you to earn more experience and silver, |
| 45s | making it easier to climb the battle-pass ladder. |
| 48s | By the way, If you purchase an improved battle-pass for 2500 GE, |
| 53s | you get this prize immediately. |
| 55s | There is a bit of a change to the rewards you get at level 38. |
| 59s | This time, instead of a traditional naval prize, you are going to get a unique trophy |
| 63s | that can drop one of the several naval Battle Pass vehicles from previous seasons: |
| 69s | the American PT-658, the British MTB-422, |
| 74s | the German Z25, and the Soviet TKA-106. |
| 79s | If you couldn’t get them the last time they were available, now is your chance! |
| 83s | On the other hand, if you already have all of them, you’ll get Silver Lions instead, |
| 87s | as well as a special wager that gives you an opportunity to earn up to a thousand GE! |
| 93s | How does it work? Just activate the wager and win 12 battles, |
| 97s | with at least one frag in each. |
| 99s | You can do the wager on any vehicle from Rank 3 to Rank 8, |
| 103s | in any Random Battles, with the exception of the Assault mode. |
| 107s | The wager ends after you either win 12 battles or lose three, |
| 110s | and you get your reward immediately. |
| 112s | Good luck! |
| 116s | At level 51, there’s your free prize: the majestic PBM-5A Mariner. |
| 121s | The US Navy pilots used a lot of impressive flying boats and amphibious aircraft, |
| 126s | but the PBM-5A is still pretty special. |
| 129s | It’s fitted with a new power plant, allowing it to have an even bigger payload. |
| 134s | The Mariner can carry almost 6,000 kg of bombs and torpedoes: |
| 138s | anything you might need to destroy targets on the ground or at sea. |
| 145s | In theory, as it has a bigger wingspan than even the B-17, |
| 148s | this giant should be a pretty easy target, |
| 151s | but in reality the Mariner is sturdy enough to withstand a lot of machine gun fire, |
| 156s | and can often survive attacks by autocannons. |
| 159s | That’s without mentioning its powerful defensive armaments: |
| 161s | no less than 8 heavy machine guns. |
| 164s | So it’s the fighters who should be afraid of you, and not the other way around! |
| 171s | Furthermore, the aircraft is equipped with a search radar |
| 174s | that’s really good at locating enemy ships. |
| 177s | All in all, the PBM-5A is a great get for pilots, |
| 180s | and an excellent new toy for any captain. |
| 189s | Finally, at level 75, we get to the main prize |
| 193s | that also gave the name to the whole event: |
| 195s | the premium Sholef V.1, an Israeli SPG. |
| 200s | Instead of wasting resources to develop a brand new chassis, |
| 203s | engineers created this heavy artillery vehicle on the base of the Merkava MBT. |
| 208s | The main selling point of the vehicle is its powerful gun. |
| 211s | This 155-mm high-explosive slinger can easily KO |
| 216s | several enemy vehicles with a single shot, |
| 218s | and it’s still quite effective against single, well-armored targets. |
| 222s | The best part, though, is that it won’t take ages |
| 225s | for you to be ready to make another frag: |
| 227s | thanks to an autoloader, the fire rate of the SPG does not depend on crew skills |
| 232s | and is just 5 rounds per minute, period. |
| 234s | In the hands of an experienced tanker, |
| 237s | this vehicle can also clear the sky of enemy aircraft |
| 240s | as the Sholef has access to radio fuse HE rounds. |
| 244s | With a good eye and a bit of luck, |
| 246s | you can make short work of even the nimblest of fighters. |
| 249s | If you were looking for a reason or a way |
| 251s | to properly get into Israeli ground vehicles, |
| 254s | the Sholef is an amazing pick to do exactly that. |
| 260s | Naturally, there are lots of additional prizes waiting for you in the battle-pass. |
| 264s | Keep in mind that if you plan to sell the PBM-5A or the Sholef V.1 on the Market, |
| 270s | you have to upgrade your coupons by reaching levels 105 and 125 respectively, |
| 275s | and a set of two upgrades can also be used to purchase the next season’s battle pass! |
| 280s | Play War Thunder, test your marksmanship skills... |
| 283s | and get your well-earned rewards! See you in battle! |
