He soon became a great and well known leader in War Thunder, and volunteered to lead some of the section practices therein. It was noted that through the course of War Thunder's Starter Platoon, the section practice’s under his leadership were well known as "The Battles of Britton" and thus, Britton earned the nickname "Britain" from his fellow Cav brethren.
