World of Tanks News

The Russian government has threatened to seize the assets of studios behind free-to-play tank battler World Of Tanks, according to state media. Russia has accused the game companies' executives of "extremist activities" in relation to the war in Ukraine, although they provide no evidence in the legal action. The seizure casts a grim shadow over both Wargaming (the original developers of the game) and Lesta Games, a Moscow-based studio who were once owned by Wargaming and who took over the free-to-play game in Russian territories. It's Lesta Games who seem to be taking the brunt of the government hostility.

[h2]Dynamic Battle Scenarios[/h2]
Frontline delivers a unique experience with three battle scenarios, ensuring every encounter is a new challenge!

• Standard Battle. Combat Reserves function under normal Frontline rules.
  
• Operational Support. Combat Reserve cooldowns are reduced by 50% at the start of battle or when unlocking a new Reserve, and by 30% upon respawning.
  
• Twist of Fate. Upon reaching certain ranks, choose between two randomly selected Combat Reserves. Pre-equipped Reserves have a higher chance of appearing.

Commanders!

Have you ever wanted a second chance to assemble iconic vehicles from previous Assembly Shop events? The wait is over!

The Object 780 and the Lion return for a limited-time event. With only 25,000 of each tank available in the EU and 3,000 of each in NA and APAC, act fast to secure your preferred vehicle. Both tanks come without a numbered 3D style, so you can focus purely on assembling the one that best fits your playstyle. Start with your favorite, then decide if you want to go for both—it's all up to you!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

EU: From April 24, 2025 at 19:00 CEST (UTC+2) until May 1, 2025 at 23:00 CEST (UTC+2)*
NA: From April 24, 2025 at 18:00 PT / 20:00 CT / until May 1, 2025 at 22:00 PT / May 2 at 00:00 CT / 01:00 ET*
ASIA: From April 24, 2025 at 20:00 (UTC+8) until May 1, 2025 at 23:59 (UTC+8)*

*Note: The event may end early if all tanks are assembled before the deadline.

[h2]The Assembly Shop: How It Works[/h2]

• Invest blueprint fragments, Free XP, credits, gold, and bonds to assemble the Object 780 or the Lion—or both!
  
• A total of 50,000 (EU) / 6,000 (NA) / 6,000 (ASIA) tanks are available: 25,000 (EU) / 3,000 (NA) / 3,000 (ASIA) per vehicle.
  
• No numbered 3D styles—just pure firepower.
  

[h2]Combine and Invest Resources in Different Ratios[/h2]
You decide how to allocate resources to reach 100% progress—mix and match what you have available. If you don't complete the assembly, all resources will be refunded automatically.



[h2]Object 780: Versatile Heavy Assault Tank[/h2]
A well-armored and mobile heavy tank with a unique hull shape that enhances protection. With 530 HP of damage per shot, solid gun handling, and strong glacis plates, it's built for medium-range duels.

Gameplay Tips:

• Use terrain wisely: Its good gun depression lets you fire while staying in cover.
  
• Support your team: Stick with allies and absorb damage strategically.
  
• Avoid close-range combat: With a limited HP pool, avoid prolonged close-quarters battles; instead, focus on medium to long-range engagements.
  

[h2]Lion: Master of Precision and Mobility[/h2]
A fast-moving, auto-reloading medium tank with a 105 mm gun and a unique four-shell autoreloading system. It fires three shells normally, saving the fourth for emergencies. With a top speed of 60 km/h and solid DPM of 3,150 HP, it's built for hit-and-run tactics.

Gameplay Tips:

• Manage your shells: Fire three, save one—maximize your DPM.
  
• Flank and reposition: Use its speed to outmaneuver opponents.
  
• Watch your retreat: Its reverse speed is only 15 km/h, so position carefully and avoid overexposing yourself.
  

Pick the Object 780, the Lion, or both—but don't miss out, Commanders!

Commanders!

Get ready for the wildest race in World of Tanks! Up to 30 players charge through a neon-lit track filled with obstacles, traps, and chaotic physics. Fire impulse shells to knock out rivals, teleport to safety, and complete missions to earn rewards.
