The Assembly Shop returns, Commanders!

From July 25, 2024 through July 28, 2024, you can construct the brand-new Vickers MBT Mk. 3, a Tier X British medium tank. Only 80,000 (EU) / 10,000 (NA) / 10,000 (ASIA) of these exclusive vehicles will be assembled, and the initial 40,000 (EU) / 5,000 (NA) / 5,000 (ASIA) will feature the mindblowing 3D style with a unique serial number. Get ready to build a mobile fighter that carries one of the best guns on Tier X and can excel at mid and long-range damage dealing!

EU: From July 25, 2024 at 19:00 CEST (UTC+2) through July 29 at 01:00 CEST (UTC+2)*
NA: From July 25, 2024 at 18:00 PT (UTC-7) through July 28, 2024 at 22:00 PT (UTC-7)*
ASIA: From July 25 at 12:00 (UTC) through July 28 at 16:00 (UTC)*

*Please note that the event may finish early if all vehicles are assembled before the end of the event.
[h2]The Assembly Shop: How it Works[/h2]

• Invest various game resources—blueprint fragments, Free XP, credits, gold, and bonds—to build the brand-new Vickers MBT Mk. 3. What amount of each resource to invest, is up to you.
  
• Just 80,000 (EU) / 10,000 (NA) / 10,000 (ASIA) Vickers MBT Mk. 3s will be available for assembly. On top of a fine vehicle, the first 40,000 (EU) / 5,000 (NA) / 5,000 (ASIA) players will get the magnificent 3D style with an individual number. The numbers will be assigned to tanks sequentially, from smallest to largest.
  
• Once all 40,000 (EU) / 5,000 (NA) / 5,000 (ASIA) numbered styles and accompanying vehicles have been claimed, another 40,000 (EU) / 5,000 (NA) / 5,000 (ASIA) tanks will still be available. They will come in their standard configuration—without the 3D style and individual style number—and will be up for assembly until the end of the event or until they run out.
  

[h2]Combine and Invest Resources in Different Ratios![/h2]
Remember that you can invest various resources to craft your Vickers MBT Mk. 3. There are plenty of combinations to make the progress bar reach 100%; everything depends on what you have at your disposal.



Resources are deducted as soon as you add them to the Assembly Shop, but you can reclaim or redistribute them at any time by clicking the Return Resources button. If you don’t craft the Vickers MBT Mk. 3 by the end of the event, all the resources you invested will return to your account automatically.
[h2]The Vickers MBT Mk. 3: A Versatile Damage Dealer[/h2]
You have an opportunity to craft a swift medium tank tailored for sniping and also very good at dealing damage from mid-range. The Vickers MBT Mk. 3 is able to take both precision and snap shots, and this makes its tactics highly flexible. Playing it requires concentration and tactical awareness (especially at mid-range) but can be highly rewarding. Also, the vehicle has undeniably British looks which is very definitely a plus.



[h3]Gameplay Features[/h3]

• Gun—Precision and DPM: The Vickers MBT Mk. 3's 105-mm L7 gun is one of the best at Tier X: the most precise, with outstanding aiming time and stabilization, and a maximum depression angle of −10°. The DPM can exceed 3,400 points with crew perks and equipment. On top of that, shells of every type travel really fast and have good armor penetration values.
  
• Mobility—Tactical and Strategic:The Vickers MBT Mk. 3's very decent base top speed (which can be improved to 60 km/h with a Turbocharger) is complemented by excellent specific power, giving it good acceleration. This enables you to quickly leave positions once spotted, change directions multiple times during a battle, and have plenty of flanking opportunities.
  
• View Range—A Clear Advantage:With a base value of 410 m, the Vickers MBT Mk. 3's excellent sight gives you a good chance to notice enemies before they spot you. Together with the tank’s mobility, this can keep you out of trouble as its armor shouldn’t be relied on.
