| 4s | A new battle-pass season, “Northern King”, has just started in War Thunder. |
|---|---|
| 9s | As usual, it gives you a way to earn valuable rewards by completing easy tasks. |
| 14s | There’s one premium vehicle that is up for grabs for free, |
| 17s | and you can also unlock two extra vehicles by spending 2,000 Golden Eagles. |
| 22s | There are also thematic decals, decorators and other goodies inside! |
| 29s | The first big reward is waiting for you at level 14: ten days of premium. |
| 34s | If you purchase an improved battle-pass, you get this prize immediately. |
| 38s | It’s very handy for getting to your next rewards with maximum comfort. |
| 45s | When you reach level 38, you get the first vehicle of the battle-pass, |
| 49s | the USS Flagstaff, a premium US hydrofoil. |
| 53s | It might seem somewhat familiar to both tankers and pilots. |
| 56s | The former will be surprised to recognise a turret |
| 59s | taken straight from the M551 Sheridan that can be armed with a 152-mm cannon... |
| 65s | And the latter will find an unexpected connection |
| 68s | to the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation: |
| 70s | after all, that’s where these hydrofoils were developed. |
| 73s | Thanks to the hydrofoil technology, the gunboat can reach a speed of 94 km/h: |
| 79s | that’s immediately one of the fastest vessels in all of War Thunder. |
| 83s | The main selling point of the gunboat, though, |
| 85s | is that it can be fitted with different main caliber guns. |
| 89s | You can choose either a powerful 152-mm cannon that we’ve mentioned earlier |
| 94s | or a 40-mm Bofors autocannon. |
| 97s | Do try them both, see which one suits your playstyle better! |
| 105s | At level 51, there’s your free prize: the beautiful P-51C-11-NT Mustang, |
| 112s | a Chinese variant of the legendary American fighter. |
| 115s | As an aircraft that incorporates features of both |
| 118s | early and late models of the Mustang, |
| 120s | this plane has a transitional quality to it. |
| 123s | Early Mustangs gave it its lackluster armament, |
| 126s | but the fighter also inherited the excellent Packard Merlin engine |
| 129s | from the later versions of the Mustang. |
| 132s | As a result, the Chinese Mustang’s main advantage is its superior speed. |
| 136s | If you have time to climb before engaging your opponents, |
| 139s | they won’t be likely to catch up with you. |
| 141s | Not to mention that this vehicle is no slouch in Mixed Battles either |
| 145s | thanks to a number of handy payload options. |
| 151s | Finally, at level 75 of the battle-pass, there is the main prize of the season: |
| 156s | the Kungstiger! |
| 157s | It’s a Tiger II that was employed by the Swedish Armed Forces after WW2. |
| 163s | It features a pre-production version of the turret |
| 165s | which doesn’t have as much armor in the front |
| 167s | but provides better protection when angling thanks to its sloped surfaces. |
| 171s | You’ll never have to worry about the safety of your hull either: |
| 174s | there aren’t that many tanks that can pierce 150 mm of angled steel. |
| 179s | At the same time, the Kungstiger is really good at punching through armor: |
| 183s | the glorious KwK 43 cannon can easily penetrate the defenses of most opponents, |
| 189s | and has a pretty strong after-penetration effect to boot! |
| 195s | The battle pass also contains unique camouflage options for every prize vehicle: |
| 200s | a nice additional reward for going up the battle pass ladder. |
| 204s | Keep in mind that if you plan to sell the P-51C-11-NT Mustang |
| 209s | or the Kungstiger on the Market, |
| 211s | you’ve got to upgrade your coupons by reaching levels 105 and 125 respectively. |
| 216s | And a set of two upgrades can also be used to purchase the next season’s battle pass! |
| 221s | Play War Thunder, clear missions, and get your well-earned rewards! |
| 226s | Good hunting! |
