Welcome to the 239th War Thunder Steam Screenshot Competition!

It was great to see all of the creative submissions from all of you last week! This time, we’re focusing on moments when weapons meet their targets. Whether it’s a shell striking its target, a bomb detonating nearby, or a vehicle caught in the middle of a blast, capture a screenshot of the explosion! The three most popular and three selected by us will get 300 GE. See the winners down below!

Let’s begin the 239th edition of our competition!

Create a stunning screenshot and submit it on the War Thunder Steam Community Hub with the tag #WTscreen239. You have time until the 4th of September to submit your screenshot.

After that date, 6 winners will be selected (3 of which will be the highest rated by the community and 3 selected by our judges), each of which receive a reward of 300GE.
