Yes.
The same happened in my second war... the options were:
Fight at war lvl 1
Fight at war lvl 2
I choosed to fight at war lvl 1, won the war and my war level was updated to war lvl 2.
Let me re-phrase.
I declare war against another C3 country, and the available options are:
fight at war lvl 2
fight at war lvl 3
No matter which war lvl I choose, once I win the war I will be hitting war lvl 3?
Again, War Level tooltip says:
"
This is the war level of the country (empire). It is an indicator of the capabilities of the player. To get to higher war levels, you must fight wars of increasing complexity against computer controlled countries.
"
Based on this SC documentation, my understanding is that:
If my war lvl is 2, and I wanna be at war lvl 3...
then the only way for me to hit war lvl 3 on my empire is to win a war at "war level

One of my empires is at war level 2. I took a c3 to expand, chose to fight at war level 2 rather than war level 3. I'm still at war level 2.
"Based on this SC documentation, my understanding is that:
If my war lvl is 2, and I wanna be at war lvl 3...
then the only way for me to hit war lvl 3 on my empire is to win a war at "war level 3".
In the same path, if I keep fighting wars at war lvl 2, I will never be hitting war lvl 3.
Is it a bug? I'm failing at comprehension? "
This statement is correct. If you are leveling up for gold coins, you will have to increase your war levels.

Also, after the 6th win in total you will be promoted to warlevel 3 regardless if the war was fought at a lower level, so one cant stay warlevel 2 indefinitely if one like to raid c3.

Excellent, thanks to both.
@NiAi
I think that the same behaviour happens when you are in War Level 1. If you fight one war at war lvl 1 or 2, it will automatically move you to lvl 2.
Thanks again
