War Thunder reruns The Great War event from 11 to 18 November with Fokker D.VII and SPAD S.XIII
Gaijin's War Thunder reruns The Great War event from 11 to 18 November 2026, with the Fokker D.VII and SPAD S.XIII fighters up for grabs as new rewards.
Gaijin Entertainment is rerunning War Thunder’s The Great War event from 11 November, and this time two First World War fighters join the reward list: the Fokker D.VII and the SPAD S.XIII. The event runs until 11:00 GMT on 18 November, which is 10pm AEDT on Wednesday 18 November in Sydney (7pm AWST in Perth).
You’ll find it under Events and Tournaments, then Historical Events, then The Great War.
How the event works
You play as either the Triple Entente or the German Empire, each with seven stages. Every stage costs 5,000 mission points, and you can complete one stage per side each day. New stages unlock at 11:00 GMT on 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 November, which is 10pm AEDT in Sydney on the same dates (9pm AEST in Brisbane).
If you’d rather skip the wait, each stage can be bought for 599 Golden Eagles. Rewards need to be collected by hand from the Achievements menu after you finish a stage.
What you can keep
Everything you earn goes into your tech tree, so you can use it in regular battles after the event ends. You can’t get the same vehicle twice.
- Triple Entente: Mark V, St-Chamond, Garford, H.P.12 bomber and the new SPAD S.XIII. Seven stages earns the SPAD.
- German Empire: A7V, Beutepanzer Mk.IV, Garford-Beute and the new Fokker D.VII. Seven stages earns the Fokker.
- Decals are also on offer, plus a “Trench fighter” title for the German side.
If you already own all of last year’s vehicles, you’ll get a trophy for each one instead. Those hold boosters, universal backups, a day of Premium account or a random ground vehicle camouflage.
On the battlefield
Battles are set in Flanders, with trenches, bunkers and barbed wire. Tanks in the event get improved mobility, and the event tanks keep their historical speed and manoeuvrability in regular Ground Realistic Battles.
AI infantry roam the trenches and can shoot back or throw grenades. Each one you take out is worth 5 mission points, up to 500 per battle. The German side can also fly a Zeppelin, which drops 14 x 300 kg SC AG bombs.
