War Thunder – General Guide for Crafting and Secrets – Playthrough (2024)

This How To Guide will teach you how to simply turn a couple decals into near identical Historical Flags! I have both stratagies for players who will give Gaijin a few dollars, and I have strategies for people who want to keep it a Free to Play! This helps players feel more attached by having a appropriete home made emblem to go along with their them on their tank or air plane, into battle!


This guide will be easy to follow and help you make the following flags and emblems:

Soviet Union

Rhodesia

Democratic Federal and Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

Socialist Republics of Yugoslavia (Socialist Republic of… Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia)

White and Red Belarus/Byelorussia

Belarus / Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic

Vitchy France

Spanish Republic 1936


DISCLAIMER: Quality May Very Be Based on How Much You Are Willing To Spend on Pixels! Not All Stratigies Lead To A 1:1 Copy

Hello, in this guide, I will be helping whoever likes to decorate their tanks, planes, and ships in War Thunder, especially with a slight historical influence. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the beast, the developers of War Thunder do not wish to offend anyone and potentially put controversial emblems on their game. That being said, these emblems might be offensive to some individuals. These recreated emblems were not recreated to insult. They were inspired for Historical purposes. That is where creativity allows us to feel more connected with the video game. In this guide, I will show some of the historical flags I know. Please, if you know a missing flag that I did not show. Please comment, and I will update the guide.

Introduction

I discovered up to three designs for Rhodesia at the time of writing this. The three designs are comepletly subjective to which fits your wants and how you want it to look on your tank or airplane. I created two FREE designs that require little XP that is required (can be skipped with Golden Eagles, if you some how do not have them), and a Gold Eagle Required Only design. Please be advised this is a guide which teaches you the fundamentals. I did not take my time ensuring every line was straight and decals sized well. At approprite times, I will mention how to make any logo look great and not as sloppy as mine. Please also keep in mind. Since there are no real emblems, yet for Rhodesia. These may look off and not accurate; however, I believe this is the best you can do with your imagination. You’ll enjoy these designs as much as I do too!





This is THE only Rhodesia roundel decal currently in game, that can be applied to other vehicles. The decals on the British Premium Airplane: The Hunter FGA-9 which have the 1:1 historically accurate roundel, can not be applied elsewhere at the current update of the game.





In this guide I am using the Soviet T-55A with the Rhodesian Armoured Corps Camouflage. If you too want a Officall War Thunder Rhodesian tank skin for your T-55A and have other players see it in game! Then get one at the War Thunder Marketplace! As of the 22 of October 2021 they are only 0.20 GJN (approx 20 cents USD)

Introduction

There are two options a paid and free version. I will go over both! The free alternative will be at the bottom of Yugoslavia!

With Yugoslavia being under represented in the game of War Thunder disbite having a quite repectibul military. Lucky for us. Yugoslavia had near identical military equipment as their counterparts in the Warsaw Pact which was made up of entirely Soviet satalight states. Since this is the case we can often find ourselfs being able to almost enjoy playing as Yugoslavia in War Thunder; however, unfortenetly, Yugoslavia lacks emblem decals as well. No worries. I have just the trick from showing you how to make the Federal Flag all the way down to the individual Federal units of Yugoslavia such as Serbia, Croatia, and the others. So while we sit back and relax. Next time we play War Thunder we wont know nor care if we are in a T-72 or a M-84. They all look the same and now it has a Yugo flag on it! after you decal all your Soviet tanks like me!

Yugoslavia

(Golden Eagles Required Version)

Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia & Democratic Federal Yugoslavia
