How to earn the Battle of Britain 2026 decal
The decal task requires 3,000 mission points in battles where players use a British aircraft at Rank III or higher. Random battles count, except for Assault mode, and the reward must be collected manually after the task is complete.
Progress can be tracked in the hangar through Nickname > Achievements > Holidays > Battle of Britain Day. Once earned, the decal appears in the Holidays tab of the customization menu.
