Thunder League Battlegrounds 7x7 - Updated

Fellow pilots and tankers!

Today, all squadrons in War Thunder can compete in a new type of squadron battle - the Thunder League Battlegrounds in the 7x7 format!

The combined battles 7x7 format introduces a balanced vehicle setup that will change every 3 days. Vehicles that will be used are aircraft and ground vehicles from rank III to rank V. At the start, vehicles will be separated into 5 different setups. When the setups change, the leader board does not reset - this will happen once a month, after 2 full rotations of the setups.

The event will be available in the “Events and Tournaments” section in the game client every day from 16:00 GMT to 22:00 GMT and from 01:00 GMT to 07:00 GMT.

During the first 15 days, the event will run in test mode and squadrons who get to the top places will receive the following prizes:

1st place - 6 000 400

2nd place - 3 000 200

3rd place - 1 500 100

Attention! During the test run of the event there may be technical breaks due to changes in some of the event parameters.

When the testing phase is over, the prizes for squadrons after every 15 days (one full vehicle setups rotation) will be the following:

1st place - 12 000 800

2nd place - 6 000 400

3rd place - 3 000 200

Updated (26.7.2016):

Since the beginning of the Thunder League 7 vs 7 RB squadron battles we have seen many players asking for an Arcade Battles variant of the Thunder League 7 vs 7 squadron battles and therefore we have decided to add this mode to the game client.

The event will be available in the “Events and Tournaments” section in the game client every day from 16:00 GMT to 22:00 GMT and from 01:00 GMT to 07:00 GMT.

Prizes will be the same as in Realistic Battles, the first 15 days will be testing period.

Good luck on the battlefield!
