Quick Info
Does War Thunder Have a Platinum Trophy?
No. Both PlayStation lists contain nine Bronze trophies, three Silver trophies, and one Gold trophy. Earning all 13 gives 100% completion.
The short list still requires 3,000 player vehicle kills, Rank IV wins across five nations, and a winning first-place performance at Rank V. A 4 to 6-hour estimate only fits second-stack cleanup on a veteran account.
War Thunder 100% Completion Roadmap
Phase 1: Learn Air and Ground Battles
Begin in Air Arcade and Ground Arcade while learning aiming, positioning, and lineup building. Choose one required nation as your main route to Rank V. Bird of Prey and Steel Hunter should come naturally, while bomb kills, anti-air kills, and all player destructions advance longer counters.
Phase 2: Earn the Five Super Soldier Awards
Super soldier requires Mission Maker, Hero of the Sky, Thunderer, Heavy Metal Hero, and Wing Breaker across separate Random Battles. Use Air Arcade for the aircraft and AI-target awards, then Ground Arcade for the ground-kill and anti-air awards. Mission Maker needs both the first and final kill in one match.
Phase 3: Complete Rank V and Nation Requirements
Reach Rank V in your main nation and target Leader by winning, placing first on the winning team's scoreboard, and maintaining at least 50% activity. Then obtain Rank IV vehicles for the USSR, USA, Britain, Germany, and Japan. Win 10 eligible battles with each nation while staying above the activity threshold.
Phase 4: Finish the Long Counters
Continue in the mode where you score player kills most consistently. War Hero requires 3,000 player-controlled vehicle kills in Random Battles. Use this grind to finish Heavenly Judgment, Bird Catcher, any Patriot wins, and Destructive Precision.

Missable Trophies in War Thunder
There are no missable trophies. Every requirement can be retried while the online service remains available, and changing vehicles, nations, or modes does not erase cumulative progress.
Online and Skill-Gated Trophy Notes
All trophies require online Random Battles. Custom Battles, test drives, and Assault PvE are invalid.
Like Warframe, progression is stored online, but War Thunder depends more on competitive results. Finish the result screen after rare conditions, especially Destructive Precision.
Leader and the Patriot trophies require 50% activity. Deal damage, play objectives, earn kills or assists, and remain involved throughout the match.
General Tips for War Thunder 100%
Build Complete Lineups
Keep several vehicles near the same Battle Rating so one early death does not end your contribution. A single high-rank vehicle can shorten progression, but backup vehicles make Rank IV wins and Leader attempts more reliable.
Premium time and vehicles are optional. Every trophy is obtainable for free, although five-nation research takes much longer without bonuses.
Combine the Cumulative Trophies
Use bomb-carrying aircraft while working on Bird of Prey, and add a SPAAG to ground lineups while earning Steel Hunter. Every qualifying player kill also advances War Hero.
The all-online structure resembles Apex Legends, but War Thunder adds vehicle-tree progression and one-match performance awards.
Track Super Soldier Manually
Use the in-game achievements area and keep a checklist for Mission Maker, Hero of the Sky, Thunderer, Heavy Metal Hero, and Wing Breaker. Repeating one completed award does not replace a missing requirement.
Hardest War Thunder Trophies and How to Get Them
Super soldier
The five required awards cover different modes:
- Mission Maker: earn First Strike and Final Blow in one battle.
- Hero of the Sky: destroy the most aircraft in an Air Battle, with at least 12 enemy aircraft under the standard requirement.
- Thunderer: destroy the most AI ground targets, with at least 18 destroyed.
- Heavy Metal Hero: destroy the most player ground vehicles, with at least 10 in Arcade or Realistic and seven in Simulator.
- Wing Breaker: destroy the most aircraft in a Ground Battle while using ground vehicles, with at least five destroyed.
Low-rank Arcade lineups provide several spawns. Use an attacker or bomber against AI columns for Thunderer, and a mobile SPAAG for Wing Breaker.
Destructive Precision
Equip several unguided rockets and target a large aircraft or an opponent committed to a head-on pass. Fire a short spread at close range, then remain until the Random Battle reaches its result screen.
Leader
Use the Rank V lineup you know best. Captures, assists, scouting, air defense, and kills all build score, but you must also win and finish first. A squad improves the chance of victory without removing the personal scoreboard requirement.
War Hero
This is the longest grind. Familiar low or mid-rank vehicles usually produce more engagements per hour and lower repair costs. Only player-controlled targets in Random Battles count.
PS4 and PS5 Trophy Sync
PS4 and PS5 share online account progress, and synchronization can work in either direction. Launch the other version, let the profile sync, then complete a Random Battle and perform another relevant action.
Cumulative trophies may appear after one additional kill, win, or bomb destruction. Match-specific conditions may need to be earned again. This second-stack cleanup explains the 4 to 6-hour estimate, not a fresh-account route.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does War Thunder have a platinum trophy?
No. Earning all 13 trophies gives 100% completion.
How long does it take to 100% War Thunder?
An accelerated fresh route can take 100 to 200+ hours, while a free-to-play account may need several hundred. A synchronized second stack can be much faster.
Why is the War Thunder trophy list so hard?
It combines 3,000 player kills, Rank IV wins for five nations, a Rank V first-place win, and five demanding battle awards.
What is the hardest trophy in War Thunder?
Super soldier is hardest because its five awards cover air, ground, AI targets, anti-air play, and match timing.
Are there missable trophies in War Thunder?
No. Every trophy can be retried in eligible Random Battles.
Can custom battles unlock War Thunder trophies?
No. Custom matches, test drives, and private boosting lobbies do not satisfy Random Battle requirements.
Can you 100% War Thunder for free?
Yes. Paid content is optional, although premium bonuses can reduce the Rank IV and Rank V research grind.
Do trophies sync between PS4 and PS5?
Progress can synchronize both ways, but some trophies need another qualifying action or repeated match condition.
War Thunder's 100% is a long-term account project rather than a short trophy sprint. PlayStation trophy services can support targeted progression or difficult online cleanup when the remaining requirements become the only part holding the list back.
