The Warbond shop for the “Armour Breaking Ambusher” Battle Pass season will be open from 26th of July until 25th of October.

Hello everyone,

We are continuing to tell you about the improvements that we are implementing based on the Roadmap we released in June. In this news, we’ll be talking about the changes that will allow Battle Pass tasks to be completed in Simulator Battles (SB).

This planned Roadmap change was originally scheduled to be released in the Autumn 2023 Major Update, however with the release of the new Battle Pass season 12 that has arrived today, the 26th of July, we’ll be bringing this long-awaited change forward to today instead, ahead of schedule.

You will be able to complete the same battle tasks and challenges in Tank SB as in AB or RB. In Air SB there will be a few exceptions: due to mission specifics and availability of the lobby system, some tasks and challenges, such as participation in a certain number of missions or tasks aimed at destro...

For many types of vehicles that aren't equipped with super sturdy armour, attacks from the flank and ambushes are one of the main ways to achieve victory. The SPz 12-3 LGS, the main prize of the new War Thunder Battle Pass season, is one of such vehicles — and that's why this season is called “Armour Breaking Ambusher”!

Note: from season 12 onwards, Battle tasks and some battle pass challenges can be completed in Air or Ground SB!

To receive Battle Pass rewards, you need to regularly log into the game and complete tasks and challenges. Each level of Battle Pass will earn you a prize, be it a player icon, a loading screen, a title, decals, decorations, or new premium vehicles!
