War Thunder - Celebrate the 175th anniversary of the German Navy

Celebrating the 175th anniversary of the German Navy in War Thunder

The German Navy is celebrating its 175th anniversary and War Thunder is not one to miss out on the occasion! To mark this special event, the popular war game is offering exciting events and exclusive rewards for players. Read on to learn all about the special ships, badges, and other highlights that await you in the game.

Two historic German destroyers available for purchase

In honor of the history of the German Navy, two destroyers from the Second World War era are available for purchase with Golden Eagles: the T31 and the Z20 Karl Galster. These two ships offer their captains unique abilities and advantages in battle.

The T31 - Robustness and Firepower

The T31 is a robust ship that stands out mainly for its fast-firing main caliber guns. Thanks to these weapons, it often emerges as the winner in small and medium-sized battles. Its shells can easily destroy internal modules of enemy ships and often cause ammunition depots to explode.

The Z20 Karl Galster - Agility and Speed

The Z-20 Karl Galster, on the other hand, is quite thin and surprisingly agile for a destroyer. In AB mode, it reaches an impressive top speed of 86 km/h! Its guns reload quickly, and its 37mm anti-aircraft guns are fully automatic - unlike many other German ships.

Earn the "Emblem of the German Navy Headquarters" badge

From June 15 (12:00 GMT) to June 19 (07:00 GMT), players have the opportunity to earn the "Emblem of the German Navy Headquarters" badge. To earn this coveted badge, three battles must be completed with German ships of rank III or higher - of course with a minimum activity of 70%. The task can be completed in random battles, with the exception of Enduring Confrontation missions and the [Assault] mode.

You can track your progress in the hangar under Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → German Navy Day. The badge can be found in the "Customization" menu under the "Holidays" tab.

Take your chance at exclusive ships and rewards

The anniversary of the German Navy offers you the unique opportunity to purchase both the T31 and the Z20 Karl Galster for Golden Eagles in War Thunder and expand your arsenal with two historical ships. Additionally, you can unlock the special "Emblem of the German Navy Headquarters" badge and show that you were part of the celebrations. What are you waiting for? Join in and celebrate with War Thunder!
