Gaijin Entertainment has officially launched a new event in War Thunder to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. This event, which is currently live across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, provides players with several ways to expand their British naval fleet through store discounts and a specific mission-based reward. The event serves as a nod to historical naval warfare, offering players a chance to acquire premium vessels at reduced prices while engaging in active combat missions to earn exclusive cosmetic items.
Event Rewards and Vessel Discounts
The primary focus of this event is a set of rotating discounts on specific British naval vessels. Players looking to bolster their lineups can take advantage of these offers for a limited time. Additionally, the developer has introduced a commemorative decal, the 'Nelson quote, 21 Oct. 1805', which can be added to player vehicles by completing a specific gameplay objective. To earn this decal, players must accumulate 3,000 mission points during the event window. It is important to track your progress in the game menu to ensure you hit the target before the window closes.
The discounts are structured to provide value for both new players and veterans looking to fill gaps in their British tech trees. The HMS Nelson Pack is a notable inclusion for those looking to accelerate their progression, as it bundles the vessel with 30 days of Premium account time and 3,000 Golden Eagles. Below is a breakdown of the current offers available to the player base:
- HMS Nelson Pack: Discounted by 30% in the Gaijin.Net Store.
- HMS Belfast and HMS Iron Duke: Available at a 30% discount from October 21st through October 24th.
- Fairmile D (5001): Available at a 30% discount until October 26th.
Summary of Naval Offers
To assist with planning your purchases, the following table outlines the specific discount windows for the affected vessels. Please note that the expiration dates vary, so players should prioritize their acquisitions based on these timelines to avoid missing out on the reduced pricing.
| Item | Discount | End Date |

Players are encouraged to check their progress toward the 3,000 mission point requirement in the game menu to ensure they secure the decal before the event concludes. All purchases made through the Gaijin.Net Store are separate from in-game Golden Eagle transactions, and players should verify their store region and account status before finalizing any pack acquisitions. This event provides a straightforward path to upgrading your naval capabilities while celebrating a significant historical milestone within the game environment.
