[h2]Available Maps[/h2]
In Episode 4, the following maps will be available for epic clashes:
  • Normandie: classic battlefields that combine open fields and strategic structures, ideal for both offensive breakthroughs and defensive strongholds.
  • Kraftwerk: a heavily industrial setting featuring tight corridors and exposed flanks that demand a mix of firepower and tactical prowess.
  • Fata Morgana: a desert map with challenging visibility and ambush opportunities, perfect for tactical maneuvers and long-range engagements.


[h2]Dynamic Battle Scenarios[/h2]
Episode 4 once again features the familiar dynamic battle scenarios system. Each battle kicks off with one of three rule sets for Combat Reserves, randomly selected and displayed on the loading screen. Here's a quick reminder of them:
  • Standard Battle (34% chance): Combat Reserves are used as per the regular Frontline rules.
  • Operational Support (33% chance): The cooldown time for Combat Reserves is decreased by 50% after the start of a battle or when you unlock a new Reserve, and by 30% when you respawn.
  • Twist of Fate (33% chance): Upon reaching certain ranks in this scenario, choose between two randomly selected Combat Reserves. Combat Reserves placed in slots in the Garage before battle have a better chance of being offered for selection, and the level of Reserves purchased with Combat Reserve Points will increase by 1 in battle (meaning they will have four levels).

[h2]Rewards[/h2]
As always, participating in Frontline yields valuable rewards. Here are some of the most precious ones up for grabs:
  • Experimental Equipment: exclusive equipment to enhance your vehicle's performance. This Episode introduces the Accuracy Improvement System T1, first featured during Holiday Ops 2025, as a new reward. Now available in Frontline, this Experimental Equipment can be unlocked and selected as a reward at stages 5, 10, 15, and 20 of the Progression.
  • Combat Reserve Points: Unlock and upgrade powerful abilities to gain an edge in battle.
  • Bonds: a currency for acquiring advanced equipment and unique items.
  • Universal Manual: provides experience for all vehicle crew members, helping them reach new proficiency levels.
  • Directives: useful boosters to enhance vehicle and crew effectiveness.
  • Retraining Orders: items to respec your crew members and tailor them to your preferred playstyle.

Mark your calendars: Episode 4 runs from February 10 until February 17! It's your chance to dominate the vast battlefield and reap the rewards!

  • One of eight Premium Tier VIII or IX vehicles (Probability: 2%)

[h2]Meet Kpz. Erich Konzept I and Object Kust[/h2]

The Kpz. Erich Konzept I is a Premium Tier IX German sniper medium tank carrying a 120 mm gun with excellent handling parameters; it also has a good view range and decent camo values. Its weak armor is compensated for by its great mobility: the base top forward speed is 65 km/h.


The Object Kust is a Premium Tier VIII Soviet turretless TD sporting a 130 mm gun with excellent penetration values that deals 550 HP of damage per shot. Its wedge-shaped hull has up to 110 mm of armor (nominal value) at the sloped front, enabling you to block or shrug off a lot of enemy shells. This vehicle uses Travel Mode for movement, and Assault Mode for shooting.

[h2]Serpent's Treasure Event[/h2]
You can also obtain several Serpentine Boxes in the ongoing Serpent's Treasure event without spending any currency. Just unlock the sections of the great snake!

Arcade Cabinet: Join the Snowballs & Ice Age Fun!

Commanders!

The festive season may be behind us, but the fun in World of Tanks never ends! Jump back into the traditional winter excitement with the familiar Snowballs and Ice Age submodes.

Both submodes are available simultaneously in the Arcade Cabinet via the mode selector across two consecutive launches. Enjoy single-tier, 15v15 battles with Tier VIII or Tier X vehicles across six snowy maps featuring winter-themed mechanics.


[h3]Arcade Cabinet: Snowballs and Ice Age[/h3]

EU
First launch: January 24, 2025 at 10:00 CET (UTC+1)
Second launch: January 31, 2025 at 10:00 CET (UTC+1)

NA
First launch: January 24, 2025 at 03:00 PT | 05:00 CT | 06:00 ET
Second launch: January 31, 2025 at 03:00 PT | 05:00 CT | 06:00 ET

ASIA
First launch: January 24, 2025 at 17:00 (UTC+8)
Second launch: January 31, 2025 at 17:00 (UTC+8)


[h2]Maps[/h2]
Snowballs and Ice Age require snowy locations, so Mannerheim Line, Erlenberg, and Glacier are in play. Plus, both submodes can take place on special winter versions of Karelia, Prokhorovka, and Malinovka.



[h2]Snowballs[/h2]
Inspired by real-life snowball fights, this submode is fast, fun, and unpredictable. Shells become snowballs with curved trajectories, reload times are shorter, and engine power is boosted for all vehicles. Plus, HE shells deal extra splash damage, adding to the chaos!



[h2]Ice Age[/h2]
In Ice Age, the extra-slippery ground turns battles into epic slo-mo shootouts. Enjoy smooth drifting as rounds fly faster and dispersion during movement and traverse is reduced. Add boosted engine power and top speeds, and you're in for a wild ride!



[h2]Rules[/h2]
Except for different modifiers, Snowballs and Ice Age have the same set of basic rules:
[expand]

  • Battles are single-tier, fought in either Tier VIII or Tier X vehicles. Any vehicles of these tiers can be used in the mode.
  • You earn XP and credits in battles, and you can use all types of Personal and clan Reserves.
  • XP multipliers for the first victory of the day work in the submodes.
  • Snowballs and Ice Age battles do not contribute to daily missions or personal missions, but they count toward the mode Progression.
  • Snowballs and Ice Age battles do not bring you Battle Pass Points. Gold and credits are not put into the Gold Reserve and the Credit Reserve.
  • Snowballs and Ice Age battles do not yield bonds, except for the event Progression rewards (see below).
  • You may play in Platoons (and are eligible for the bonuses if you do).
