Free Tier VI Premium Tank and More in Exclusive Holiday Ops DLCs



Commanders!

The game is currently filled to the brim with festive activities, so make sure you don't miss any pleasant surprises! This article is a friendly reminder about one of them: two special Holiday Ops DLCs that we prepared for you to enjoy. Let's take a look!

[h3]Holiday Gift Pack: Tier VI Premium Tank for Free![/h3]

This free DLC grants you 50 pieces of each Holiday Ops resource, as well as a special mission that lets you park the Tier VI Premium British Sherman VC Firefly medium tank with a 100% trained crew in your Garage. The mission is very easy to complete: You need to cause a total of 23,000 HP of damage over any number of battles. Just remember to finish the mission by January 21, 2023, at 09:00 UTC , otherwise it will expire!

When you complete the mission, you will immediately get the Sherman VC Firefly with a 100% trained crew and a Garage slot, and it will remain yours forever.

About the Sherman VC Firefly

Firepower: Even higher-tier vehicles should be aware of the Sherman VC Firefly’s gun—its penetration values are the highest among Tier VI medium tanks! Impressive 171 mm of penetration with regular rounds and a whopping 239 mm with APCR will let you pierce through enemy armor like butter with most of your shots, even including tanks one or two tiers up! And with good accuracy, a decent aiming time, and a great DPM of 2,000 HP/min, this beast poses a great threat for any vehicle that gets in its way.

Protection and Mobility: The Sherman VC Firefly can’t boast good speed or impenetrable armor, so you should be very careful when considering your position on the battlefield. Always be aware of your surroundings, and make sure to escape a potentially dangerous situation in advance—with this vehicle’s engine, you don’t have the luxury of quick repositioning and fast maneuvers.

Support your allies on the battlefield by raining your piercing shots on your opponents, and don’t rush into heated close-range encounters. Enjoy your victories!

Football-Themed Forum Event: Answer a Question, Get a Reward!



Commanders!

We know that many World of Tanks players with a passion for armored vehicles and action also have a passion for football. Lots of members of our team can relate to that — not a single day goes by now without somebody discussing the latest matches or their predictions for future ones.

And that’s why we decided to launch a special forum-based event that will let you use your knowledge of the football world to earn some helpful rewards in World of Tanks!

[h3]How Does It Work?[/h3]
  • This Steam Community event will run until the end of the World Cup on December 18, 2022.
  • During this event, we will create several special topics in the General Discussions section of World of Tanks Discussions.
  • These topics will be in English only.
  • The topics will contain simple questions about one of the upcoming matches. For example, we might ask you to guess how many yellow cards or penalty shots there will be in the match.
  • You need to answer the question before the match starts! We will check the timestamp, and all answers submitted afterwards will not be accepted.
  • A player can submit only one answer per topic, but they can submit answers in multiple topics.
  • Edited comments will not be accepted! Also, the regular discussion rules still apply, so please be polite and respect each other. Any comments that break the discussion rules can be deleted or excluded.
  • When the match ends, we will check all the submissions in the topic and select those with the right answer. We will post a message with the nicknames of the winners in the same topic, and they will receive their rewards in a couple of days.
[h3]What About the Rewards?[/h3]

Those who submit correct answers can expect to get Personal Reserves, consumables, football-themed decals, and even days of WoT Premium Account!

Please note that we will send the goodies to the account associated with your Steam account.

[h3]Where Can I Find the Topics?[/h3]

You can find them in the General Discussions section of the World of Tanks Community Hub. We will also add the links to the topics below as soon as they are created.
