[h2]Recruit Iconic Characters[/h2]
Free Mission Progress rewards include three iconic Star Trek characters: Captain James T. Kirk, Commander Spock, and comms specialist Nyota Uhura, all with custom voiceovers. Put them in charge of your vehicles in Random Battles!

[h2]Ride Your Rover Into the Mission Area[/h2]
The mysterious alien Object is placing Antimatter Fragments in strange patterns on the asteroid’s surface. Use a remote-controlled Rover to collect Fragments before your U.S.S. Enterprise crewmates beat you to it, guided by Mr. Scott. Captain Kirk encourages healthy competition and wants to test the vehicles’ performance, so use your Rover’s abilities and power-ups!

[h2]Get Rewarded by Starfleet[/h2]
Free Mission Progress rewards include unique Star Trek-themed content. Complete daily event missions and earn a 2D style, decals, and inscriptions, as well as three Commanders with unique voiceovers and an Orion Lockbox!

[h2]Get More Orion Lockboxes [/h2]
Some precious items ended up in the hands of Orion merchants who sell them in lockboxes. The possible loot (a merchant word indeed!) includes ten armored vehicles from Earth’s past. Two of them were previously unknown: the AAT60 and the Nemesis.

[h2]Meet New Armored Vehicles[/h2]
The two newcomers from Orion Lockboxes are both Tier VIII Premium medium tanks with very good gun depression values. The AAT60 combines great gun handling with solid DPM, and can sport the fascinating Emissary 3D style. The Nemesis has a very sturdy turret and excellent single-shot damage.
[h2]Scan the Emissary 3D Style[/h2]
"Found this one when we were looking for that T95 we lost during field trials. The ground 'round the thing was...strange, wrinkled. Like it had been fried or something. And what a remarkable piece of equipment, this tank. Looks a bit like one of ours, right? But I heard Doc getting all excited about the 'improbable alloy' it's made of—after he managed to chip a bit off the lower plate. Hope his ravings can stir up some of the top brass to get the tank outta our depot and into some fancy top-secret lab. Because I’m telling you, it looks like it can fly—or even more. You know, the little green men that built it—just for fun, inspired by our exotic designs—they might find its remote control and press some buttons."

Polish Tank Destroyers Are Coming!

Commanders!

Update 1.24.1 introduces a debut lineup of Polish tank destroyers. The new branch comprises 6 researchable vehicles spanning Tier V to Tier X.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Branch Composition[/h2]
The new branch of Polish tank destroyers consists of six researchable vehicles from Tier V to Tier X. The transition to the new branch will begin with the Tier IV 14TP light tank.



Tiers V–VII will feature classic turretless TDs with traditional gameplay. The first vehicle in the branch is the SDP 40 Zadymka, sitting at Tier V. It is followed by the SDP 44 Burza (Tier VI) and SDP 57 Gowika (Tier VII).

However, Tiers VIII–X introduce innovative shell mechanics, enabling vehicles to deal maximum damage in close combat. They are represented by:
  • SDP 58 Kilana (Tier VIII)
  • SDP 60 Gonkiewicza (Tier IX)
  • NC 70 Błyskawica (Tier X)

[h2]Maximize Damage with Star Tray Shells [/h2]
Polish Tier VIII–X TDs are equipped with unusual deep-rifled guns. These guns enable them to fire star tray shells traveling at incredible velocities: 1,700 m/s for a standard round and 2,000 m/s for a special one. These shells are most effective within 50 meters, delivering maximum damage. However, the damage gradually decreases with distance. Thus, high-tier Polish TDs encourage you to engage in close combat where you can be most effective.
