War Thunder players can now enter the game’s 240th Steam Screenshot Competition, which focuses on vehicles with custom appearances. Each entry must showcase a vehicle featuring a custom skin, decal, decorator, or another personal touch that makes it stand out.
Entries remain open through September 11. Players must upload a new screenshot to the War Thunder Steam Community Hub submission page and use #WTscreen240 as the entire title. The contest details are available in War Thunder’s Steam announcement.
Six winners will be selected after the deadline. Three will come from the highest community ratings, while judges will choose the other three. Every winner will receive 300 Golden Eagles, with the reward delivered to the author’s account within 14 working days.
Rules for the screenshot
Entries need to follow several rules beyond the customization theme:
- The image must include a vehicle with a custom skin, decal, or decorator.
- The title must contain only the #WTscreen240 tag.
- A participant can win through the popular vote only once across four screenshot competitions.
- The screenshot must follow War Thunder’s rules and be the entrant’s own work.
- The image must be new and cannot have appeared in another competition or been published previously.
- Only raw screenshots captured in the game are accepted. Editing software and visual enhancements such as Nvidia Ansel filters are not allowed.
- Built-in War Thunder filters, settings, and replay tools are permitted.
The new round follows the previous Shockwave round, which centered on vehicles caught in explosions. This time, players can trade blast timing for camouflage choices, decals, and decorations that give their machines a more personal look.
If you enter, tell us what kind of custom vehicle shot you want to submit in the comments. You can also follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.
War Thunder

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.
