Battle Pass Season VII: Queen of the Night FAQ

Commanders!

Queen of the Night, Battle Pass Season VII's Temporary Chapter, has arrived, bringing the first chance to get the ShPTK-TVP 100, a brand-new Czechoslovakian tank destroyer—the first of its kind—and its unique 3D style!



We've answered some frequently asked questions below, so you can jump straight into the action equipped with all the info you need.

[h2]Frequently Asked Questions[/h2]

[h3]How can I progress through the Temporary Chapter and earn the new tank?[/h3]

Firstly, and most importantly, activate the Temporary Chapter to start completing it. To do so, go to the Chapter selection screen, select the fourth, additional Chapter, and click "Activate Chapter."

You have about 10 days to complete 40 Stages, each bringing 50 Battle Pass Points. As with the other Battle Pass Chapters, there are two Reward Tracks—Base and Improved. Complete the Base Reward Track to earn the ShPTK-TVP 100. Improved rewards include the Queen of the Night 3D style, bonds, blueprints, and more.

[h3]Can I invest unspent Battle Pass Points into Temporary Chapter progression?[/h3]

In general, the Temporary Chapter works the same as the three main Chapters but with a small difference.

Battle Pass Points are earned through battle results, completing daily missions, and as bonus Points from Core Vehicles.

Battle Pass Points that were earned earlier but not used cannot be invested into the progression of the Temporary Chapter.

Only Battle Pass Points earned while the Temporary Chapter is active will count towards its progression. So, if you have undistributed Battle Pass Points, you should invest them into the progression of the three main Chapters.

[h3]Are daily missions useful for Battle Pass progression?[/h3]

Completing 3 daily missions earns you 45 Points—that's up to 450 Points during the entire Temporary Chapter period. The missions are not difficult and are available to complete in Random Battles (including Grand Battles). If one of three missions doesn't suit your playstyle, you can change its conditions once every 4 hours.

Completing all three daily missions unlocks a bonus mission. Completing it will earn 25 additional Battle Pass Points, so, in total, you can earn up to 700 Battle Pass Points from completing daily missions.

2,000 Points are required to complete the Temporary Chapter. The remaining Points can be earned from Random Battles, Ranked Battles, and Core Vehicles.

[h3]Do Core Vehicles earn increased Points for the Temporary Chapter, and is there a limit?[/h3]

Yes, Core Vehicles still earn increased Points, making them very effective for completing the Temporary Chapter.

The Core Vehicles for Battle Pass Season VII are the Leopard 1, T110E4, and Kranvagn.



The limit on earning Battle Pass Points persists across the whole Season, including the Temporary Chapter. If you reached the limit previously, the Battle Pass Points won't count towards the progression of the Temporary Chapter when playing in Core Vehicles.

If you hit the vehicle Point Limit after activating the Temporary Chapter, the bonus Points will count towards the progression.

[h3]How does the Improved Pass work?[/h3]

The Improved Battle Pass of the Temporary Chapter costs 2,000 Gold. Once you purchase it, you will receive additional rewards for already completed Stages and for completed further Stages. You can also purchase Stages at the cost of 250 Gold per Stage.

Players select the number of Stages to purchase themselves; that's why the cost of completing the Temporary Chapter is defined by the player themselves.

Including the cost of the Improved Battle Pass, it costs 12,000 Gold to purchase all 40 Stages and unlock all rewards.

[h3]What can I expect from the reward vehicle, the ShPTK-TVP 100?[/h3]

This is a light-armored tank destroyer with excellent standard shell DPM and armor penetration. It's a quick-firing vehicle with good mobility and a fully rotating turret. Since its armor is weak and it has limited HP, you should play it extremely carefully.

Take advantage of its concealment values, using bushes and returning to cover between shots, or support your allies from safe areas of the battlefield.

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.

[h2]Time-Limited "Queen of the Night" Chapter: Let’s Refresh the Challenge Format![/h2]

We’re offering you a fresh and experimental take on your favorite opportunity to get a Premium vehicle for free. This time-limited Chapter will be available for 10 days as part of Battle Pass Season VII. If you complete it, you can get the first-ever Czechoslovakian tank destroyer in the game for free!

During the launch of an additional Chapter, we're testing several new mechanics, one of which is the complexity of the progression system for players.

The Chapter's progression value was calculated based on all sources of earning Battle Pass Points. It is important for us that you use all these sources to earn Points and advance through the progression, especially Daily Missions—they can earn you a significant number of Points. Another important source is the increased number of Points that Battle Pass Core Vehicles earn.

After the Chapter has finished, we will evaluate this new format to see if it is worth continuing in the future.

[h2]How It Works[/h2]

As with the three main Chapters, this additional Chapter needs to be manually selected and confirmed in order to start earning rewards for your progress. Considering the Chapter is limited in time, it is better to activate it and start completing it as soon as it becomes available.

The progression system works in the same way as in the main Chapters but for a limited period of time. Upon completing it, you will receive a brand-new Premium vehicle for free. Now let’s see what the Chapter's main differences are and dig into the details.
  • You earn Battle Pass Progression Points according to the standard rules, based on the results of the battle. Battle Pass Core Vehicles—the Leopard 1 , the Kranvagn , and the T110E4 —still have increased Point Limits and can earn more Points in battles, assuming you haven't reached their Point Limits.
  • You also earn Points for completing Daily Missions and the Bonus Mission.
  • You will be rewarded with additional Battle Pass Points when the Point Limit for a vehicle has been reached, even if you started filling the Limit before the start of this Chapter.
All Point Limits that apply throughout the Season also apply to the additional Chapter.
Daily Missions will be an important source of progression completion. To get the most out of these Missions, you will need to complete them on a regular basis. However, Daily Missions are quite doable and don't take much time to complete. And remember that if you don't like the conditions of a particular Mission, you can re-roll it!

You cannot invest Progression Points previously earned in Battle Pass into your progress in this time-limited Chapter.

Compared to the familiar challenge format, the additional Chapter offers more options and flexibility. Now, the whole process will be more manageable, and it will be easier for you to estimate how much effort it will take to complete the Chapter and get the main prize for free.

[h2]Reward Tracks[/h2]

The Chapter involves completing 40 consecutive Stages instead of 10. With the increase in Stages, it will now be easier for you to plan your time. The Chapter has one progression system but two Reward Tracks: Base Rewards and Improved Rewards. Each Stage completed in the Base Rewards Track will bring you useful prizes, including:
  • Days of WoT Premium Account
  • Bonds
  • Credits
  • And much more!


When all 40 Stages in the Base Rewards Track are completed within the given timeframe, you will get the ShPTK-TVP 100 for free. This vehicle comes with a 100% trained crew.



[expand]

[/expand]
Want to receive even more rewards, such as Personal Reserves and Crew Books? Get the Improved Pass for this additional Chapter to unlock the Improved Rewards Track. After that, you will receive all Improved Rewards for the Stages you have already completed in the first Track. The main prize for this Improved Reward Track is a spectacular 3D style for the ShPTK-TVP 100.



[expand]

[/expand]
As before, you determine the final cost of the vehicle. It will depend on the number of Battle Pass Stages you have completed, just like in the main Chapters. Purchasing an Improved Pass allows you to purchase any number of Progression Stages. It is up to you to decide how many Stages to complete while playing World of Tanks, and how many to buy for gold.

There will be no “last call” period for making a purchase. Don’t miss the deadline, and make your decision before the morning of May 23 when the extra Chapter ends.

[h2]Meet the ShPTK-TVP 100![/h2]

This Tier VIII Premium vehicle is the first Czechoslovakian tank destroyer in the game. This vehicle has exactly the characteristics that you would expect from a lightly armored support TD, so its gameplay requires you to be prudent and see opportunities on the battlefield.

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.


[expand]





[/expand]
One of its main advantages is its high 270 mm penetration with standard AP shells. You'll be able to penetrate even well-armored targets and cause damage in battles with vehicles of all tiers. But in battles with Tier X opponents, you'll have to aim more carefully. You will also need to get used to the shell velocity of standard AP shells. On the other hand, they lose less armor penetration at a distance and have better normalization after hitting the armor.

The vehicle’s mobility and high top speed of 55 km/h are excellent compared to other Tier VIII vehicles, so you can quickly reach positions you want, depending on the current combat situation. This is very important for good performance in battles, but you need to create opportunities to get the most out of this vehicle's DPM.

Its accurate , sharp-shooting gun has excellent aiming and reload time (5.4 seconds) and delivers an incredible DPM of 2,778 HP. It is achieved thanks to the high rate of fire, while the alpha damage is rather modest. Therefore, you need to learn how to make the most of the opportunities that the vehicle provides. You need to choose the right positions and play carefully from behind your allies.

A fully rotating turret is another trick up your sleeve. It allows you to control wider areas of the battlefield , staying in position and using all its advantages.

Always remember your concealment values, use all the bushes, and don't forget to roll back after a shot. Given your low HP and high DPM, it's better to avoid a possible enemy shot than to take an extra shot yourself. A high rate of fire will allow you to catch up and seek revenge against your opponents, but the low HP will require you to use rather prudent tactics.

Field Modification will be especially useful for this vehicle. For example, it will allow you to reduce the unmasking effect after a shot, which is very important for the ShPTK-TVP 100.

Roll out and get the brand-new ShPTK-TVP 100, Commanders!
