Kpz. 07 P(E) and Obj. 452K Return to the Assembly Shop

[p]Commanders![/p][p] [/p][p]The Assembly Shop is back, and two formidable Tier X vehicles have returned: the precise and mobile German Kampfpanzer 07 P(E) and the low-profile Soviet bruiser Object 452K.
[/p][p]From July 24, use in-game resources to build the one you favor or expand your collection with both. Units are limited, so be quick before they run out again.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p]

The event may finish early if all vehicles are assembled before the scheduled end time.[/p][p] [/p][h3]How the Assembly Shop Works[/h3][p] [/p][p]Here's a quick refresher on how you can get your hands on this new beast:[/p]
  • [p]Invest Resources: Exchange in-game resources like blueprint fragments, Free XP, credits, gold, and bonds to construct the Kampfpanzer 07 P(E) and Object 452K.[/p]
  • [p]Limited Quantity: Only a set number of both vehicles will be available. This time, there are 20,000 of each for EU, 2,500 of each for NA, and 2,500 of each for APAC. Once they're gone, they're gone![/p]
[p] [/p][h3]Mix and Match Resources in Different Ratios[/h3][p] [/p][p]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 Kampfpanzer 07 P(E) and Object 452K by the end of the event, all the resources you invested will return to your account automatically.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][h2]Meet the Kampfpanzer 07 P(E)[/h2][p] [/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p] [/p][p]The Kampfpanzer 07 P(E), or Kpz. 07 P(E) for short, was a Porsche and Wegmann design, developed in the early 1960s for a new generation of West German tanks.
Intended to meet ambitious demands for mobility, off-road firing, and nuclear protection, it ultimately fell outside the weight limits of its time, landing close to 60 tons, and never progressed beyond the prototype stage.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Unlike the "classic" top-tier German heavies, the Kpz. 07 P(E) features a compact frame and relatively light armor, trading raw protection for a top speed of 50 km/h and excellent gun handling.
Its mobility lets it keep pace with medium tanks, seize forward positions early, and outmaneuver many of its heavy peers.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h3]Gameplay Tips[/h3]
  • [p]Precision is power.
    Take advantage of the 0.33 dispersion and 1.7 s aiming time to outgun opponents.[/p]
  • [p]Play hull-down.
    Use the 8° of gun depression and smart positioning.[/p]
  • [p]Flexible fighter. With a 50 km/h top speed, you can rotate and flank when needed.[/p]
[p][/p][p] [/p][h2]Meet the Object 452K[/h2][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p] [/p][p]This time, you will craft the Object 452K, an experimental Tier X Soviet brawler blending the roles of an assault tank and a breakthrough heavy tank.
It has a noteworthy appearance and can claim to be one of the lowest-profile and most streamlined Tier X heavy tanks in the game.
Plus, it boasts decent mobility, positioning it as a key advantage within its gameplay group.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]The Object 452K is a Soviet heavy that combines a low silhouette, solid frontal armor, and a hefty 560 alpha gun.
It's a breakthrough tank designed to take hits and return fire with devastating impact.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h3]Gameplay Tips[/h3][p] [/p]
  • [p]Hold the line.
    The low profile and good armor values make it a strong frontliner.[/p]
  • [p]Snap and trade.
    High alpha and reliable penetration let you punish enemy mistakes.[/p]
  • [p]Keep it close.
    While it has decent mobility, the Object 452K shines in close-to-mid-range brawls. [/p]
[p] [/p][p]Grab the Kampfpanzer 07 P(E) and Object 452K starting on July 24 and don't delay!
They're only around while supplies last.[/p][p] [/p][p]
Roll Out!

[p][/p][h2]Their Voices, Their Way[/h2][p]
Lara Croft and Duke Nukem bring distinct styles shaped by wildly different pasts. She is a fearless adventurer who can handle any trap, tomb, or action-packed adventure. He is a walking arsenal with attitude—ripping turrets off tanks and dropping one-liners as he goes. You can prioritize getting Lara (voiced by Keeley Hawes) or Duke (voiced by Jon St. John) first, but the real fun starts when you bring both heroes into the fight!
[/p]
[p][/p]
[p][/p]
[h2]The Rides: Ready for Action[/h2][p]
Each of the two Improved Rewards tracks is topped off by a brand-new Premium vehicle with a unique 3D style that fits its iconic character.
[/p][p][/p]
[p][/p]
[p][/p]
[p]
For Lara, it's the IMT, a Tier VIII U.S. versatile medium tank: slender but mobile and quick on the draw. It comes with the "Tomb Raider" 3D style.[/p]
[p]For Duke, it's the TS-6, a Tier IX U.S. assault heavy tank: tough and always ready to put the smack down on the enemy. It wears the "Duke" 3D style.
[/p]
[p][/p][h2]The Loot: Come Get Some![/h2][p]
The Heroes' Paths consist of personal Chapters: 30 Stages for Lara and 40 Stages for Duke, with the Improved Pass unlocked for 2,500 and 3,500 gold, respectively. Both paths offer Base and Improved Reward tracks with unique crew members Lara Croft and Duke Nukem (each with a zero perk), 2D styles, decals, inscriptions, and medals—on top of the tanks and 3D styles!
