War Thunder 'Sky Guardians' Event: Fast Route to Free Rank III Premium Aircraft

The Sky Guardians event rewards consistent play over raw skill. Plan your sessions around the task list instead of playing randomly, and you will progress much faster.

Fastest farming modes

• Arcade air battles for the quickest kill tasks.
• Ground Realistic with a single-slot lineup for assist tasks.
• Short sessions with a simple goal, such as one task type per queue.

Lineup suggestion

Bring one fast interceptor and one durable ground-attack aircraft so every task type is covered in a single session. Pick vehicles you are comfortable with, since a vehicle you know well completes tasks faster than a stronger one you are still learning.

How to save time

1. Read the full task list before you start and group tasks by mode.
2. Play in a squad when possible; shared objectives speed up assist and capture tasks.
3. Do not chase a task that is not progressing. Switch mode and come back.
4. Log in daily so you never miss a time-limited bonus.

Is it worth it?

The event is free to complete, so you do not need to spend Golden Eagles. If you only have limited time, focus on the milestones that lead to the premium aircraft and skip the optional ones.
