Your kills finally count: a pilot career, medals, and leaderboards
Until now, every great match vanished the moment you closed the tab. Not anymore. Warbirds remembers you — your kills, your wins, your medals, your place on the board — and you still never have to make an account.
No sign-up. Still yours.
The thing we love about Warbirds is that you click once and you're flying. We weren't about to bolt a registration form onto that. So there's no email, no password, no "verify your account" email sitting in your inbox. The game quietly remembers your browser, and that's your pilot. Come back tomorrow on the same device and your record is right where you left it.
It's the lightest possible way to have an identity: zero friction going in, a real career building up behind you.
A record worth chasing
Every kill, win, ship sunk, ground target smashed, and night kill now adds to a lifetime tally. That tally drives medals — ribbons you earn by specializing. Rack up night kills and you become a Night Ace. Sink enough ships and you're a Ship Killer. Pound enough ground targets and you're a Siege Master. Your proudest medal even shows up as your title on the scoreboard, so the regulars get recognized at a glance.
A scoreboard that resets every round asks "who's winning right now?" A career asks "who are you?" — and that's a much better reason to come back.
Climb the boards
On top of the per-match scoreboard there are now lifetime leaderboards — Top Aces, Most Wins, Ship Killers, Night Aces, and more. Each one is its own ladder, so you don't have to be the best at everything to top a board. If dogfighting isn't your strength but you're death from above on shipping, there's a board with your name at the top of it.
Keep your streak alive
There's also a daily streak: clear at least one of the day's challenges and your streak ticks up; skip a day and it resets. It's a small, gentle hook — the kind of thing that turns "I'll play tonight" into a habit without ever nagging you.
Built to never get in your way
One promise we made ourselves: none of this can ever cost you a frame in a dogfight. Saving your stats happens quietly in the background, and if the bookkeeping ever hiccups, the game doesn't so much as stutter — the flying always comes first. You get a permanent record without ever feeling the machinery that keeps it.
