War Thunder’s Norwegian Air Force Foundation Day task is scheduled to run from Nov. 10 at 12:00 GMT through Nov. 13 at 12:00 GMT. Players can earn the “Emblem of the No. 330 squadron RNoAF” decal, but the objective calls for 3,000 mission points in battles using Swedish aircraft at Rank III or higher. Gaijin outlined the task in its Steam announcement.

Nov. 10 marks the date Norway established a separate air force in 1944. Aircraft had appeared in Norway as early as 1912, but the air force was formed while the king was in exile in Great Britain and Norwegian pilots were flying with the British Royal Air Force. Norway later became a founding NATO member, and its air force patrolled the Soviet border with American-made fighters.

Progress appears in the hangar under Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → Norwegian Air Force Foundation Day. The task can be completed in random battles, except for Assault mode, and the reward must be collected manually. Once claimed, the decal is available in the Holidays tab of the customization menu.

War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicular combat MMO featuring aircraft, ground vehicles, and naval craft spanning from the early 20th century to the modern era. Players progress through technology trees across multiple nations, unlocking increasingly advanced military vehicles. The game offers three realism tiers for each vehicle type: arcade, realistic, and simulator modes. Originally developed as a flight simulator under the name "World of Planes," the game expanded to include tanks in 2014 and naval forces later, becoming a combined-arms experience. A mobile version was released in 2023.
