This guide shows you how get the 30 squadron vehicles for free without any effort. Squadron Vehicles are special vehicles unlocked with Squadron Research Points (SRP).
How to unlook squadron vehicles
To unlook squadron vehicles you have to be in a squadron, its free and everbody can join them. To join a squadron go to your hangar under Community go to Squadron and to Squadrons search
Here you can find all the squadrons you can join. Make sure to check Hide closed, Hide full, and Hide without Auto-accept applications. If you don’t find a suitable squadron, uncheck the last option. On the left, you can see if you meet the squadron’s requirements.
If you’re a new player or don’t meet the requirements yet, simply scroll through the squadron pages until you find one that will accept you. Keep checking different squadrons—many have flexible entry conditions, especially those with auto-accept enabled.
Pay attention to two key factors: Squadron activity and number of players in the squadron, both should be high. Also, check the squadron’s rules for staying active, usually visible by right-clicking the squadron name and selecting Squadron Info.
How do squadrons work?
If you ever get kicked out of a squadron, don’t worry! You won’t lose any Squadron Activity Points or progress you’ve already earned toward squadron vehicles. You can freely join another squadron at any time and continue where you left off.
It’s also a good idea to leave a squadron yourself if it becomes inactive. Staying in an active squadron ensures you maximize Squadron Research Points gains and unlock vehicles faster.
Simply by playing the game while in a squadron, you collect Activity Points—for every 200 Research Points, you receive 1 Activity Point.
Every 3 days, these Activity Points are converted into SRP. You can earn up to 360 Activity Points every 3 days, converting into a maximum of 20,000 Squadron Research Points.
How your squadron activity affects your rewards
You can check your personal activity by going to Squadron → My Squadron → Activity. The amount of Squadron Research Points (SRP) you receive depends on two factors:
- Your own activity level
- The squadron’s overall activity level
Your reward is based on the lower of the two values. For maximum SRP (up to 20,000 points every 3 days), both your personal activity and squadron activity should ideally be high. However, you don’t need 100% activity—just around 43% each to reach full SRP rewards.
Which squadron vehicle should you research based on your goals?
The squadron vehicle you should research depends on your current tech tree progress, goals, and how you want to use it. You can find them by going to Squadron → My Squadron → Squadron vehicles. Now, you can select or change the vehicle you wish to research within the squadron.
If you want to grind your tech tree, focus on vehicles within that nation that are efficient to research your tech tree. For Battle Pass tasks, consider researching a ship, plane or tank that is required for the Battle Pass challenges, especially if you don’t have the type of vehicle yet. This allows you to complete the tasks efficiently without spending time grinding through the tech trees. If you’re looking for fun, high-tier vehicles like aircraft or tanks are a great option, especially those you would otherwise need hundreds of hours to grind.
Squadron vehicles also require Silver Lions to purchase, and they are not affected by sales. This means their price remains consistent regardless of any in-game discounts or promotions. If you’re wondering which aircraft or tanks are fun to play, here’s a quick list of some recommended options that offer enjoyable gameplay.
