A new competition is arriving soon in War Thunder. Rankings Challenge is a regular competition where all players are invited to join, whether solo or with friends, using preset vehicles. Winning in these battles increases the rating of a player, and the higher the rating, the better the prizes.
Before the competition goes live, there's a test for the Rankings Challenge from September 6 to September 10. During this test mode, players get access to four competitions:
- Wings of Prey 1 (Rank II)
- September 6 to September 8
- Day 1: Bf 109F-1 (Germany)
- Day 2: Yak-1B (USSR)
- Wings of Prey 2 (Rank IV)
- September 8 to September 10
- Day 1: Spitfire F Mk.XIVe (Britain)
- Day 2: P-51D-30 (USA)
- Shoulder to Shoulder 1 (Rank IV)
- September 6 to September 8
- Day 1: Char 25t (France)
- Day 2: T-44 (USSR)
- Shoulder to Shoulder 2 (Rank VI)
- September 8 to September 10
- Day 1: XM-803 (USA)
- Day 2: Type 74 (E) (Japan)

Future Plans
Once everything is done, the plan is to have regular new seasons of Rankings Challenge that last for at least a month with all types of vehicles and all nations available. In addition, Special formats could be introduced, like races or free deathmatch modes.
There’s also a plan of making some competitions of the Rankings Challenge as qualifications for larger competitions based on the existing tournament service. If such competitions happen, they’ll likely be held during mid-seasons and have streams and activities for the viewers.
