For those of us who spend as much time customizing our lineups as we do in the actual heat of battle, this drop is a significant addition. These aren't just generic skins; they are curated from the Live.WT community, meaning they often feature a level of detail and historical accuracy (or sheer aesthetic flair) that stands out on the battlefield. The trophy also includes rare vehicle coupons and a unique 'Ninth Wave' decal, making it a high-value grab for collectors.
Accessing these new cosmetics depends on your platform. PC players will need to head to the Market to pick up a 'Ninth Wave' key to crack these open. Console players can find the trophies directly in the Item Shop, where they can be purchased and opened using Golden Eagles. It’s a system we’ve seen before, but the quality of this 40th camouflage trophy feels particularly sharp given the variety of vehicles covered.
What makes this even better is the support for the creators. Authors whose work makes it into these official trophies receive a share of the proceeds through the War Thunder partnership program, along with exclusive titles and player icons. It’s a win-win that keeps the modding community thriving while giving the rest of us more ways to stand out in a match. Whether you're looking to blend into the treeline or just want your favorite jet to look its best, there’s likely something in this batch for your hangar.
