World of Tanks News

Commanders!

On April 29, 2021, World of Tanks began its journey on Steam. Since then, we have launched many great events and held lots of Community activities. We have introduced various features to make the game even more enjoyable and enticing for you: Trading Cards, Achievements, GFN support, and the ability to activate Bonus and Invite Codes. We have received thousands of reviews, and literally each of those has been carefully read by our team because we value your feedback and want to be on the same page as you, developing our game in such a way that corresponds with your expectations and desires.

But the most important of our achievements has been getting to know all of you. We have gathered an amazing Community of players who are just as passionate about the game as we are. We are happy to see you participating in discussions, making guides for newcomers, searching for battle friends, and providing us with feedback about our project. We thank you for being awesome and we want to give you a gift to celebrate what can be described as “a successful start of a long journey of World of Tanks on Steam.”



You will find more detailed information on the gift at the end of this post, as we have another surprise for you right now! We have collected and unified the data on all your accomplishments since World of Tanks launched in Steam. We found these figures to be quite fascinating and wanted to share them with all of you, so take a look at how cool you are!

NOTE: The statistics below are Steam-only, meaning that the numbers you see have been achieved solely by our Steam players. The statistics were counted in Random Battles only.

[h2]Receive your Rewards![/h2]

Now that you’ve studied the infographics, you should clearly understand that calling all of you “awesome” is not an exaggeration. We are extremely impressed with your achievements during our first half-year on Steam, and you have surely earned good rewards for your efforts! There will be two packs of goodies that you can get simply by logging in to the game.

For starters, there is a regular reward for years of service that can be received by anyone who created an account in World of Tanks before November 23, 2021. For our players, this reward contains the following:

The reward for years of service is given once a year, and the contents become progressively more valuable the more you play the game. You can find more information about this event on our official website.

Now on to the main course. We have an exclusive gift for all our Steam players! We want to thank you for playing the game on Steam and contributing to all those remarkable numbers you just saw above.

[h2]The AltProto AMX 30: Meet the Brand-New French Medium Tank![/h2]

This Tier VIII Premium is equipped with a menacing regular (cyclic) gun that deals 300 HP of alpha damage, which is respectable for a medium tank of this tier.

In addition, the AltProto AMX 30 features the second-highest armor penetration value (232 mm) with a standard shell among all Tier VIII medium tanks in the game. Armor penetration with a special APCR shell is even higher (263 mm), which makes this tank a dangerous enemy for most well-armored vehicles.

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.

Its top speed of 65 km/h is impressive for a medium tank, and, due to its good power-to-weight ratio, the AltProto AMX 30 accelerates quickly and maintains speed confidently. And if the combat situation isn’t working in your favor, or you need to quickly retreat or change flank, the AltProto AMX 30 will quickly disappear from the enemy's view range.

Like some other French vehicles, the hull armor is not this medium’s strongest feature. However, its upper glacis plate is at a very uncomfortable angle for opponents, so hitting it will not be as easy as it might appear.



[expand]













[/expand]
Thanks to the tough gun mantlet that covers almost the entire frontal turret projection, the AltProto AMX 30 can take full advantage of the 11 degrees of gun depression and successfully use hull-down tactics on any map. Hiding a vulnerable hull and taking an advantageous position, this vehicle will allow you to confidently inflict damage from a distance.

And, of course, like any Premium vehicle, considering its armor penetration and alpha damage with a standard shell, this tank farms credits well, so playing in it is not only exciting but also profitable.

[h2]Chapter I—Tracking the Beast: How It Works[/h2]

Your furious hunt for the brand-new AltProto AMX 30 will run for 10 days. To get this French beast, you need to complete 10 consecutive Stages by fulfilling missions for mastery or for commitment, all in Random Battles. You can track your progress via a special banner in the Garage without opening a separate Challenge tab.

• Missions for mastery are hard, but fulfilling them will save you time. You can only complete these tasks using Tier IX and X vehicles.
  
• Missions for commitment must be completed using Tier VI–X vehicles. Your result will only count if you are in the top 10 on your team by base XP earned at the end of the battle, no matter whether your team is victorious.
  

Both sets of tasks can be fulfilled simultaneously, given that all conditions are met. The mission that is completed first will count towards your progress for the next task on either path: commitment or mastery.

[/expand]


Whichever path you end up taking, each completed Stage will bring you a host of rewards, including tons of credits, Personal Reserves, days of WoT Premium Account, directives, and more.

In addition, each Stage knocks 10% off the final price of the AltProto AMX 30. If you complete all 10 Stages of Chapter I within the given timeframe, you will get this brand-new vehicle—with a Garage slot and its 100% trained crew with Brothers in Arms as a zero perk—for free!

[h2]Chapter II—Priceless Trophy: Redeem the Striking Char de Chastel 3D Style and Other Loot![/h2]

Once you're done with Chapter I or purchase the AltProto AMX 30 bundle, 10 additional daily Chapter II missions will become available to you. You can view the mission conditions and track your progress while completing them on a separate tab in the event's interface.



Chapter II missions will also last for 10 days, from November 26 at 09:00 CET (UTC+1) through December 6 at 09:00 CET (UTC+1). This Chapter will award you with a striking 3D style, Char de Chastel. All Chapter II missions will be available only for those who already have the AltProto AMX 30 in their Garage. The faster you get this vehicle by completing Chapter I, the more rewards you can earn from the Chapter II missions.

Plus, each mission completed will provide you with a 12.5% discount* on the 3D style bundle, which means you can get it for free as soon as you complete any eight tasks of the Chapter. You can view the mission conditions and track your progress while completing tasks on a separate tab in the event's interface.

*The total discount on the package with the 3D style and Personal Reserves cannot exceed 100%.

The spectacular Char de Chastel 3D style is inspired by the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan. This mysterious monster terrorized the French county of Gévaudan in the 18th century and was hunted down by the legendary huntsman, Jean Chastel.

With its gorgeous knightly style, this custom look will turn the AltProto AMX 30 into a formidable war machine. The style features plates of lightly rusted metal, iron spikes, and medieval axes. But the most spectacular elements are the sharpened steel blades on the lower glacis plate and a massive catapult mounted on the vehicle's turret.



[expand]















[/expand]
In addition to this visual masterpiece, each mission in Chapter II will earn you valuable items: Personal Reserves, days of WoT Premium Account, and Crew Books.



Want to get the Char de Chastel style immediately? Get the 3D style bundle with 14 days of WoT Premium Account and Personal Reserves as bonus rewards on the Chapter II screen, available for 5,000 Gold.



[h2]How to Take the Easier Route[/h2]

Can’t wait to take the formidable AltProto AMX 30 for a spin? Go straight to the in-game Store and get the whole bundle, featuring all Chapter I mission rewards, as well as the vehicle itself. It will also give you instant access to the Chapter II missions with additional rewards and the incredible 3D style.

Fulfilling Chapter I Stages will provide you with discounts on the final price of the bundle—10% off for each Stage completed. For example, completing five out of 10 Stages will knock 50% off the price.

Purchasing the bundle gives you the full set of rewards and automatically marks all event missions as completed, so you won’t be able to access them once you have the bundle. It will be available starting from November 26 at 09:00 CET through December 6 at 09:00 CET (UTC+1), with a two-day “last call” period finishing on December 8 at 09:00 CET (UTC+1) for those who missed the deadline. The AltProto AMX 30 pack can be purchased for real money only.

Join the event and get the French Beast for free or with a personal discount, Commanders!
