As a part of their holiday celebrations, War Thunder are offering two limited edition vehicles for free to be obtained after completing a set of challenges. Historically, such vehicles have remained unobtainable after its initial offering, so if you’re at all interested, get it quick!
In order to get it, as mentioned above, you’re going to need to complete a set of challenges. These challenges aren’t the simplest, which is why its being called a marathon. There are 2 set of 19 tasks, one for the I-301 Russian fighter and one for the M8A1 American howitzer carriage, and completing all 19 tasks of one set will net you the vehicle automatically. Also, every time you complete a task, you have a chance of getting the vehicle, thus not necessitating doing all the tasks, which can be quite a grind as the available tasks so far are:
Tasks | I-301 | M8A1 |
| 1 | 30 kills while flying Spitfires | 40 kills while driving Т-34s |
| 2 | 30 kills while flying P-400 or Airacobras | 40 kills while driving T-28, SMK or T-35 |
| 3 | 30 kills while flying Bf 109s | 40 kills while driving PzKpfw IVs |
| 4 | 30 ground units destroyed while flying Ju 87s | 40 kills while driving any US tank from Era I + M5A1 and M4A1 |
| 5 | 30 kills while flying Zeroes | 40 kills while driving Soviet Tank Destroyers |
| 6 | 30 air kills in US Naval Fighters | 40 kills while driving German Medium Tanks |
| 7 | 30 air kills while flying Yaks | 40 kills while driving KV Tanks |
New challenges will be announced every day up to the 11th of January and you can complete the tasks in any order up to then, so get rolling and flying and get those vehicles, of which you will find images for right here:
