Gaijin made $4.19M from Summer sale packs already

The sale started on Jun 24. The data currently covers matches from Jun 24 16:25 to Jun 27 22:44 so this is not the full sale window yet (The sale ends July 2nd).

The players who first showed up with each sale pack vehicle during that window are counted then multiplied that count by the pack price. If someone was already seen using the same vehicle before Jun 24 they were not counted for that vehicle.

Which gives $4.19M from 100,280 first time users across 46 store packs.

Top 5 packs:
- F-14D: $789k
- Su-30MK2 AMV: $768k
- Su-30MKK: $499k
- F/A-18C Early: $199k
- BMPT-72 Terminator-2: $151k

The top 5 made 57.3% of the estimate.

Unlike the previous chart i made, i added kills, deaths, sale window K/D, and pre sale K/D. Pre sale K/D is from matches before Jun 24.

This is only a pack estimate. It does not include Golden Eagles, premium time, or non-pack premium vehicles.

Also this is not official sales data. It is an estimate from War Thunder match data, the real number can be higher or lower. Missing matches can push the estimate down. The dataset starts on Apr 22 so "not seen before the sale" only means "not seen in this dataset before Jun 24."

For transparency like last time, I’ll provide a spreadsheet with the vehicle, sale price, username, player ID, and first match time used in the count

Most one-sided air-to-air duels

The data covers indexed matches from Apr 22 to Jun 22, 2026. The metric is direct share of how often aircraft A killed aircraft B vs. how often aircraft B killed aircraft A. Same team kills are removed and only pairs with at least 1,000 combined kills are included

Top 5:
- Mirage F1C-200 vs F-104S TAF: 87.7% / 1,904-267
- MiG-23ML vs F-104S TAF: 87.2% / 2,414-354
- F-14B vs F-4S Phantom II: 85.7% / 3,682-615
- Rafale C F3 vs Su-34: 84.9% / 891-159
- F-15C Golden Eagle vs JF-17: 84.3% / 1,273-237

Winner share is winner kills divided by total kills between those two aircraft. For example, Mirage F1C-200 vs F-104S TAF is 1,904 to 267, so Mirage has 87.7% of the direct kills in that pair.

BR delta is winner BR minus loser BR. The weapon column is the winner's most used kill weapon in that exact pair, not the only weapon used.

Gaijin made an estimated $2.26M from the 2026 May sale

The sale ran from May 7 to May 14. I counted players who first showed up with each pack vehicle in matches during that window, then multiplied that count by the 50% sale price. If someone was already seen using the same pack before the sale, they were not counted.

A harder filter gives $1.47M. That version only counts players who had matches recorded before the sale and had not used any of the sale vehicles before.

Top 5 packs:

- M1A1 HC: $476k
- F-4S Phantom II: $405k
- Mirage F1C-200: $292k
- CV 90105 XC-8: $180k
- T-80U-E1: $174k

The top 5 made 67.9% of the estimate.

This is not official sales data. It is an estimate from indexed War Thunder match data, so the real number could be higher or lower. Some matches are not present (missed) in the dataset, which can push the estimate down. At the same time, the dataset starts on Apr 22, "not seen before the sale" means "not seen in this dataset between Apr 22 and May 7." If someone bought or used a pack before Apr 22 and only appeared in the data during the sale, they could still be counted, which can push the estimate up.

That is why I included the harder $1.47M filter as a lower estimate.

For transparency, I'll attach a Google Drive sheet with the pack names, sale prices, usernames, player IDs, and first match time used in the count.
