Assemble the DBV-152: A Mobile Sniper TD!

Commanders!

Assemble the DBV-152, a brand-new Tier X Czechoslovak turreted tank destroyer! Only a limited number of these exclusive vehicles will be available to build, and even fewer will come with the exquisite "Moravian Bombard" 3D style bearing a unique number on the gun and the turret. Act quickly to obtain your mobile sniper with a 152 mm gun causing 800 HP of damage!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
EU: From February 20, 2025 at 18:00 CET (UTC+1) through February 27, 2025 at 23:59 CET (UTC+1)*
NA: From February 20, 2025 at 17:00 PT / 19:00 CT / 20:00 ET through February 27, 2025 at 21:00 PT / 23:00 CT / 23:59 ET*
ASIA: From February 20, 2025 at 20:00 (UTC+8) through February 27, 2025 at 23:59 (UTC+8)*
*Note: The event may finish early if all vehicles are assembled before the end of the event.

[h2]The Assembly Shop: How It Works[/h2]
  • Invest various game resources—blueprint fragments, Free XP, credits, gold, and bonds—to build the brand-new DBV-152. How much of each resource to invest is up to you.
  • Just 100,000 (EU) / 15,000 (NA) / 15,000 (ASIA) DBV-152 tank destroyers will be available for assembly. On top of a fine vehicle, the first 50,000 (EU) / 7,500 (NA) / 7,500 (ASIA) players will get the exclusive "Moravian Bombard" 3D style with an individual number. The numbers will be assigned to tanks sequentially, from smallest to largest.
  • Once all 50,000 (EU) / 7,500 (NA) / 7,500 (ASIA) numbered styles and accompanying vehicles have been claimed, another 50,000 (EU) / 7,500 (NA) / 7,500 (ASIA) tank destroyers will still be available. They will come in their standard configuration—without the 3D style and individual style number—and will be up for assembly until the event ends or until they run out.


[h2]Combine and Invest Resources in Different Ratios[/h2]
Remember that you can invest various resources to craft your DBV-152. There are plenty of combinations to make the progress bar reach 100%. It all depends on what you have at your disposal.


Resources are deducted as soon as you add them to the Assembly Shop, but you can reclaim or redistribute them at any time by clicking the Return Resources button. If you don't craft the DBV-152 by the end of the event, all the resources you invested will return to your account automatically.

[h2]The DBV-152: A Mobile Sniper[/h2]
The vehicle you are about to craft offers exciting gameplay. The DBV-152 packs quite a punch, being able to cause 800 HP of damage with a single shot. Its gun handling, mobility, and camo values allow you to roam the battlefield and take your shots with convenience—at long range and from cover, enjoying excellent precision and a short aiming time.

[h2]Gameplay Features[/h2]
  • Gun—One-Time Damage, Good Handling, and More. The 152 mm D-20SM gun of the DBV-152 has a lot of interesting features besides its solid one-time damage, its mushroom-shaped muzzle brake, and the fact that it sits in a full-rotation turret. The base dispersion (0.32 m) and aiming time (1.6 s) are enviable, plus basic AP rounds fly fast (at 1,160 m/s) and the penetration of HE shells is higher than usual (76 mm).
  • Mobility—Speed, Acceleration, and More. While the base top speed of the DBV-152 is very good (52 km/h) and the specific power is excellent (20.6 h.p./ton), there is more to the vehicle's mobility: Weighing just 37 tons, it is good at crossing difficult terrain.
  • Survivability—Concealment Boosted by Armor. The DBV-152's good camo values, compact size, low silhouette, and mobility are not the only features that help it avoid harm. Though modest, the armor of this sniper can make a difference: 140 mm at the front of its round-shaped turret means that it cannot be penetrated by HE shells and will even produce some ricochets.


[h2]Gameplay Tips for Success[/h2]
  • Snipe. The gun of the DBV-152 was made for this, and the vehicle's concealment will often make you an invisible menace, putting additional pressure on your opponents.
  • Move a Lot. Use one of the many advantages of your DBV-152 to the fullest! On maps with lots of greenery, take it to the best places you can take precise shots from. On city maps, keep a distance between you and the enemy.
  • Use Your Subtler Strengths. These are the vehicle's full-rotation turret and its frontal turret armor, which can matter; its knack for crossing difficult terrain; its maximum gun depression of 7°; and the increased penetration of HE rounds.
Hurry to claim your DBV-152 and ride it into battle, Commanders!

ASIA: Start: February 9, 2025 at 23:00 (UTC+8) / End: February 16, 2025 at 19:00 (UTC+8)

[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).

[center][/center]

[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.
