War Thunder Marks Bundeswehr Foundation Day With 2 Tank Deals and a Decal Challenge
The Pz.Sfl.Ic and Panzer IV/70(A) are 30% off through Nov. 16 at 10:00 GMT, and the 3,000-point trophy task begins at 11:00 GMT on Nov. 12.
War Thunder’s Bundeswehr Foundation Day promotion has 2 discounted German tanks available, with a separate decal challenge starting at 11:00 GMT on Nov. 12. The Pz.Sfl.Ic and Panzer IV/70(A) cost 700 and 2,086 Golden Eagles, respectively, at 30% off through Nov. 16 at 10:00 GMT, according to Gaijin’s Steam announcement.
The observance looks back to Nov. 12, 1955, when the first recruits took an oath to Germany’s new armed forces. The name Bundeswehr followed on Jan. 2, 1956.
Both vehicles are in Germany > Army > Premium vehicles and can only be purchased during the promotion. The Rank II Pz.Sfl.Ic mounts a 50 mm Pak 38 gun on a Pz.Kpfw. II chassis. Its firepower is formidable for its rank, but its light protection makes cover and quick repositioning important.
The Rank III Panzer IV/70(A) is a self-propelled gun built on the Pz.IV chassis, used primarily in Western Europe. Its 75 mm gun and mobility are its key strengths, though staying out of enemy fire is still the safer approach.
Earn a trophy with German vehicles
From Nov. 12 at 11:00 GMT through Nov. 16 at 11:00 GMT, earn 3,000 mission points in battles using German vehicles at Rank III or higher to receive the “Bundeswehr Foundation Day” trophy. The task echoes the October German Unity Day event, which also required 3,000 points with German vehicles at Rank III or higher, but offered a different decal pool and vehicle deals.
The trophy awards 1 of 4 decals: 2 designs named “Bundeswehr Day,” “Bundeswehr chevron,” or “Chevron of the Bundeswehr Command.” The chevron decals appear under Germany > Tanks in vehicle customization, while the others are in the Holidays section.
If you already own all 4 decals, the trophy instead grants 1 reward: a 20-50% Research Point booster for 3-10 battles, a 20-50% Silver Lion booster for 3-10 battles, 3-5 universal backups, or 1 day of Premium account time. The task counts in random battles except Assault. After completing it, collect the reward manually, and track progress in the hangar under Nickname > Achievements > Holidays > Bundeswehr Foundation Day.
