Ermelinda will be opposed by the forces of the Alliance, represented by a team of six Harriers.

[h2]Key Changes From the Previous Event[/h2]

• Instead of facing Max von Krieger, the Harriers will be opposed by his daughter, Ermelinda.
  
• The Harrier Squad consists of a team of six random players—a Platoon of up to three players is allowed. They have unlimited respawns in a single battle, but each subsequent respawn will take more and more time.
  
• If a Harrier vehicle has a load of Plasma on board and is moving faster than 50 km/h, the Plasma counter will slow down, meaning it will disappear later, giving you more time to deliver it to the Generators.
  
• The event progression is now more linear and visually understandable. You will always know which rewards you can earn and how soon you will achieve the next Progression Stage.
  
• The Waffenträger: Legacy features a ton of cool rewards, including the Engineer's and Harriers' Starters to activate the Gates containing valuable loot, new customizations, bonds, and even rental battles in the Waffenträger auf E 100! The Engineer's Starters will also be available as gifts in bundles in the in-game Store.
  
• The Engineer’s and Harriers’ Gates feature a reward replacement mechanic: You can replace their contents up to three times using a few credits (the Harriers’ Gate) or up to five times using gold (the Engineer’s Gate).
  
• You will have the opportunity to rent the legendary Waffenträger auf E 100 to fight in Random Battles when activating the Engineer's Gate (with a certain drop chance), or it will be a guaranteed reward for completing the event's progression.
  

[h2]The Waffenträger: Legacy Event Summary[/h2]

If you choose to transfer your account to a different region, your event progress and any in-game items received or purchased will be transferred along with your account. You’ll be able to continue your progress from the Stage at which you left off.

• Battles take place in the 6v1 format on one of three lightly redesigned maps: Murovanka, Siegfried Line, and Steppes.
  
• Before entering battle, you can choose one of the sides in the conflict.
  
• The Harrier Squad—as either a team of six random players or a Platoon of up to three players (Dynamic Platoons are allowed)—will rush into battle in extensively modified special vehicles: the Foudre (Bat.-Châtillon 25 t), Resistor (Object 140), and Thunderbolt (M48A5 Patton).
  
• Ermelinda will face them in the Blitzträger auf E 110, an incredibly powerful tank destroyer manned by a single player. It will be flanked by AI-controlled guards called Sentinels.
  
• Each team has its own objective: The Harrier Squad must disable the Blitzträger auf E 110’s protective energy shield and destroy this vehicle within the allotted time, and the Blitzträger auf E 110 must hold out until time expires.
  
• To enter battle in the Blitzträger auf E 110, you need to have a Key. You can earn it while playing the game mode or receive it as a part of special bundles in the in-game Store. Keep reading to find out about one more way to get a Key for the Blitzträger auf E 110!
  
• Complete special combat missions in the event to get Tokens that will gradually fill the progression meter. The event’s progression consists of 20 Stages. Upon reaching each Stage, you will receive rewards, including cool customization items, Waffenträger auf E 100 rentals to enter Random Battles, bonds, the Engineer’s and Harriers’ Starters, etc.
  
• In addition to the rewards that you will receive for completing the Progression Stages, you can also get valuable loot through the Gates. The most coveted prizes are Premium vehicles, including two brand-new ones:
  
  
  • FV4201 Chieftain Proto, a Tier IX Premium British heavy tank
    
  • KV-4 KTTS, a Tier VIII Premium Soviet tank destroyer
    

These and 10 other Premium vehicles can only be obtained from the Engineer's Gate with a certain drop rate. Plus, you can rent the legendary Waffenträger auf E 100 to fight in Random Battles!

• The Engineer's Starters are special in-game items you can earn during the event to activate the Engineer’s Gate, which contains cool Premium vehicles and other valuable loot.
  
• There are also the Harriers' Starters for activating the Harriers’ Gate, which has a chance of dropping useful in-game goodies, such as cool 2D styles and other customizations, Personal Reserves, days of WoT Premium Account, etc.
  

Mod Performance During the Event

Popular mods may cause performance issues during The Waffenträger: Legacy. To prevent this from happening, please play without mods or update them.

[h2]The Free DLC[/h2]
During the event, you can claim the special time-limited DLC “High Voltage Pack” for free to get a bunch of spectacular event-themed decals, as well as an “Inductor Coil” 2D style. Transform your favorite vehicle’s appearance into a cool-looking steampunk-style beast!

Moreover, you will get an additional gift of 3 Harriers’ Starters if you claim this DLC and log in to the game until October 9, 2022, 17:00 UTC. Use them to activate the Harriers’ Gate and get guaranteed useful rewards!

To get the bundle, just click on the link below and add it to your account for free. Please note that it is available only until October 9, 2022, 17:00 UTC and will disappear from the Store page after that date!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2144720/World_of_Tanks__High_Voltage_Pack/
[h2]How to Start Playing[/h2]

1. In your Garage, choose the “The Waffenträger: Legacy” mode in the drop-down menu to the right of the “Battle!” button.
   
2. Click the event banner in the lower-right corner of the screen.
   
3. Click the interactive 3D portal in your Garage.
   

[h2]The Harriers[/h2]

The Alliance once again went on the trail of the von Krieger family and found the coordinates of this base, where the Harrier Squad was immediately sent. But something unexpected happened… Instead of von Krieger, they had to deal with his daughter, Ermelinda. But this doesn’t mean that it will now be easier to triumph in this conflict!

The Harrier Squad consists of six battle Harriers who will have to take on the extremely powerful Blitzträger auf E 110. You will have the following three special vehicles to choose from in the event Garage:

• Resistor, a versatile multi-role tank
  
• Thunderbolt, a slow tank with decent turret and frontal armor and a formidable gun
  
• Foudre, a speedy tank with an autoloader that sacrifices armor and survivability for greater dynamics
  

Choose one of them and click the “Battle!” button to take on Ermelinda’s incredibly powerful combat monster!



The Harriers can respawn an unlimited number of times in a single battle, but each subsequent respawn will take more and more time. If your vehicle has a load of Plasma on board and is driving faster than 50 km/h, the Plasma counter will slow down. Take advantage of this to deliver Plasma faster and increase your chances of winning!

[h2]The Harriers’ Missions[/h2]

Completing the Harriers’ missions will reward you with Tokens to fill the event progression meter, as well as Keys that allow you to play in the Blitzträger auf E 110. Some of these missions will also reward you with the Harriers' Starters to activate the Harriers’ Gate.









[h2]The Blitzträger auf E 110[/h2]

To ride in the mighty Blitzträger auf E 110, you need a special Key. There are several ways to get them, as follows:

1. Complete a special mission in Random Battles (available once per account) to earn one Key. The mission will be available on September 26 at 11:00 CEST (UTC+2) and will remain active until October 6 at 11:00 CEST (UTC+2). You need to win five Random Battles in Tier IV–X vehicles and be among the top 10 on your team by XP earned.
   
   
   
   
2. Complete Harriers’ missions.
   
3. Reach certain milestones of the event’s main progression meter.
   

Keys will also be available as free gifts in bundles in the in-game Store during the event.

If the queue time to enter battle is too long, or if the number of players in the Blitzträger is insufficient, the matchmaker may allow you to play in the Blitzträger auf E 110 even if you don’t have Keys.

There will be no compensation for unused Keys when the event ends on October 10 at 11:00 CEST (UTC+2).

[expand]

• Gungnir - A shot that causes considerable damage to enemy vehicles.
  
• EMP Arrow - A shot with a high-voltage charge that slows down and stuns enemies. Resets Generator Overload points of damaged vehicles.
  
• EMP Burst - A charge of energy that covers the entire area around the vehicle. Stuns all enemies in the impact area and causes damage to those closest. Passes through all obstacles and resets Generator Overload points of damaged vehicles.
  
• Teleportation - Allows the vehicle to teleport to a selected point on the map after some delay. Operating the vehicle is impossible during preparation. Cannot be used while the shield is deactivated.
  
• Absorption - By being near a clump of Plasma on the ground, the vehicle accelerates its evaporation. If, at the moment of evaporation of Plasma, the vehicle is within a 50 m radius of it, it will recover a certain number of hit points and accelerate the Teleportation cooldown.
  

[/expand]
[h2]The Engineer’s Missions[/h2]

Completing the Engineer’s mission will earn you Tokens and the Engineer’s Starters.







[h2]Battle Time Mechanics[/h2]

The initial battle time is five minutes, but this can be increased to up to 15 minutes thanks to the overtime mechanics, which can only trigger once per match. If at least one Harrier vehicle has a load of Plasma on board their vehicle, then the battle time will increase by the time remaining until it disappears, provided that the overtime mechanic has not yet been triggered.

If there are several loads of Plasma in the battle, the load with the most time left will have its time added to the battle timer. If the overtime conditions are met, 60 seconds will be added to the battle time.

So, what happens if a Harrier vehicle has a load of Plasma on board?

• If overtime mechanics have not been triggered, additional battle time will be added according to the above rules.
  
• If overtime mechanics have already been triggered, the timer will remain at zero but the battle will not end.
  
• If the Generator is captured, the battle will increase by the same amount of time as during a normal capture.
  
• If the player leaves the Generator's capture zone and the battle time expires, the Harrier Squad will lose, and the match will end.
  

[h2]The Blitzträger auf E 220: A Rare-Yet-Coveted Opponent[/h2]

The Blitzträger auf E 220 has the same stats as the E 110, but it features a unique camouflage pattern so you can easily identify it. This is a vehicle that only certain Wargaming employees and famous content creators can unlock. You may encounter it during special days.

If you and your team manage to defeat the E 220, everyone on your team will receive a special medal and one Engineer’s Starter. Check out the dedicated article for additional information about the big E 220 hunt, including a list of participating content creators and prime hunting times!

[h2]Rush Into Random Battles in the Iconic Waffenträger auf E 100![/h2]

To complete the event progression meter and grab all rewards available in the event, you should play for both the Harrier Squad and Ermelinda. If you skip several missions or only start playing in the middle of the event, it will be hard to catch up and rent the legendary Waffenträger auf E 100.

Complete special missions in the event battles to earn Tokens that will gradually fill the progression meter. The progression system consists of 20 Stages, and you need 20 Tokens to complete each Progression Stage. On the progression screen, you will see how many Tokens you still have to earn to complete the Stage and grab the reward.

Reaching each new Stage awards you valuable in-game items, including the following:

• Two unique female crew members with exclusive voiceovers (upon completion of the 10th and 17th Progression Stages)
  
• Imposing event-themed customizations (an emblem, decals, inscriptions, and camos)
  
• The Engineer’s and Harriers’ Starters
  
• Bonds
  
• Days of WoT Premium Account
  

But most importantly, upon completion of the final 20th Stage, you will have the opportunity to rent the legendary Waffenträger auf E 100 for five Random Battles!



You will receive the very iconic, incredibly powerful Waffle, a Tier X German tank destroyer that was removed from the game in 2016. If you have previously played in this formidable predator, your daily statistics for this vehicle will be recorded in all Random Battles. You can also obtain additional Waffle battles as loot from the Engineer's Gate with a certain drop rate.

Platoons with the Waffenträger auf E 100 are not allowed.

You will be able to play your battles in the rented Waffenträger auf E 100 even after the end of the event, until October 18 at 06:00 CEST (UTC+2). After that, this living legend will be removed from your account, and all unplayed battles will disappear with no compensation.

[h2]Gates and Rewards[/h2]

For completing event missions and certain Progression Stages, as well as for defeating the rare Blitzträger auf E 220, you will receive two types of Starters, which are needed for activating the Gates. Through activated Gates, you’ll be able to get valuable loot.

You can earn the Harriers' Starters for completing event missions and progression milestones while playing in Harrier Squad vehicles. These Starters will allow you to activate the Harriers' Gate. It will drop a guaranteed prize from the list below:

• Credits
  
• Personal Reserves
  
• Days of WoT Premium Account
  
• Consumables
  
• Demounting Kits
  
• Garage slots
  

Plus, you have a chance to get customization items from previous Waffenträger events.



By completing the missions while playing in the Blitzträger auf E 110, you earn the Engineer’s Starters. These Starters are used to activate the Engineer's Gate.

You can also get the Engineer's Starters upon completing certain progression milestones, as well as for free with each special bundle in the in-game Store.

You’re guaranteed to receive 100 gold each time you activate the Engineer’s Gates for the first time, which can also be used to replace your reward (more on this below). It will be added to your account each time you activate the Engineer's Gate and won’t apply if you replace your reward.

Upon each activation, the Engineer's Gate may bring you in-game items from four different categories, each of which has its own drop rate. First, you will receive a guaranteed item from the following list:

• Credits
  
• Personal Reserves
  
• Days of WoT Premium Account
  
• Crew Books
  
• Demounting Kits
  
• Special 2D "Network Meltdown," "Lightning Hunter," and "Breadboard" styles

[h3]2D "Lightning Hunter" Style[/h3]

[h3]2D "Breadboard" Style[/h3]

If Lady Luck's on your side, you also have a 5% chance to get an imposing Harrier-themed 3D style for the Object 140, Bat.-Châtillon 25 t, or M48A5 Patton. Each 3D style can only drop once.


But the most coveted rewards are the rare Tier VIII and IX Premium vehicles, including the brand-new FV4201 Chieftain Proto and KV-4 KTTS.

• NEW! FV4201 Chieftain Proto: A multi-role Tier IX Premium British heavy tank with an incredibly tough turret and decent frontal armor, great gun depression angles of –10 degrees, and a respectable 400 HP of damage per shot. Like its brother in arms sitting at Tier X, this heavy boasts an overall good mix of characteristics, allowing it to dominate in positional battles or win one-on-one duels. Depending on the situation on the battlefield, it can lead the attack and carry the team, absorbing enemy shells, or it can perform as a powerful support vehicle, assisting medium tanks.
  
• NEW! KV-4 KTTS: A Tier VIII Premium Soviet tank destroyer. A rear-mounted turret and its similarity to the KV-4 heavy tank leave a mark on the vehicle's gameplay. Low maneuverability and mediocre mobility are counterbalanced by well-sloped frontal armor, so hitting it will not be easy. The KV-4 KTTS is armed with a 107 mm high-penetrating gun that causes 360 HP of damage per shot and has a reload time of under nine seconds. With its rear-mounted turret and 90-degree gun traverse limits (45 degrees to either side), it can successfully use side-scraping tactics at the most effective angles from both cover and open terrain.
  

Apart from these menacing hunters, you may receive a Premium vehicle—one that you do not have in your Garage yet—with a Garage slot from the following list with a 2.4% drop rate:

• Chieftain/T95 : A Tier VIII Premium British medium tank. The well-angled upper glacis plate and strong turret armor make it perfect for frontal assaults. It may confidently follow the mediums path on almost any map, and with your armor, you can bully same-tier medium and even heavy tanks.
  
• M-IV-Y : A Tier VIII American heavy tank from the Yoh branch featuring the reserve track mechanics. This well-armored tank has good mobility for a heavy and is armed with a menacing 105 mm gun that causes 360 HP of damage per shot.
  
• EMIL 1951 : An outstanding support Tier VIII Swedish Premium heavy with a strong turret that features a powerful autoloader. It can easily switch roles between a mighty frontline brawler and a menacing flanker thanks to its good mobility.
  
• ASTRON Rex 105 mm : A Tier VIII American medium tank. A universal soldier with a five-round autoloader and 1,600 HP of potential damage!
  
• VK 75.01 (K) : A Tier VIII German heavy tank with solid armor and a powerful gun.
  
• M54 Renegade : A Tier VIII American heavy tank and a true all-rounder, featuring an easily penetrating sharpshooting gun with 360 HP of damage per shot.
  
• Škoda T 27 : A Tier VIII Czechoslovakian medium tank with a fast autoloader gun and great dynamics.
  
• Kampfpanzer 07 RH : A Tier VIII German medium tank that sits at the junction of medium and light vehicles. Its 9 cm gun features good stabilization, rapid loading time, and a high rate of fire
  
• AltProto AMX 30 : A Tier VIII French medium tank that features the second-highest armor penetration value with a standard shell (232 mm) among all Tier VIII medium tanks.
  
• M48A2 Räumpanzer : A Tier VIII German medium tank. It is equipped with a real bulldozer blade that serves as a screen, as well as a fast-firing gun that lets you fire every 7.6 seconds!
  

Finally, the Engineer's Gate has a chance of dropping 10 Random Battles in the legendary Waffenträger auf E 100*!

*10 rental battles in the Waffenträger auf E 100 may drop no more than five times per account.

There will be a special guaranteed vehicle counter in the game client. Each time you get a Premium tank, the counter is reset, and the countdown to the next vehicle drop starts over. After you receive all the vehicles, this counter will become unavailable.

[h2]The Engineer's Gate: How It Works[/h2]

• When a vehicle drops from the Engineer’s Gate, a slot in the Garage is credited first, and information about it will be displayed in the in-game notification center.
  
• If you receive a vehicle that is already in your Garage, it will be replaced by any vehicle from the above list that you don’t already have in your Garage.
  
• If you already have all the vehicles from the list, the cost of the dropped tank will be compensated with gold.
  
• If you have sold a Premium vehicle from the list above and it can be restored using the in-game Vehicle Restoration tool, it may drop from the Engineer's Gate at the standard drop rate. However, it will be compensated with gold instead.
  

[h2]Guaranteed Vehicle Mechanics[/h2]

If you spent 49 Engineer's Starters but still did not receive a Premium vehicle, then with the 50th activation of the Engineer's Gate, you are guaranteed to receive a random Premium tank that you don’t have already from the list above, as well as a Garage.

If you already have all the vehicles from the list in the Garage, then the guaranteed vehicle mechanics will be disabled.

[h2]The Reward Replacement Mechanic[/h2]

The Waffenträger: Legacy event features a reward replacement mechanic, meaning you can replace your current prize. Each reward replacement counts towards a guaranteed vehicle and takes you one step closer to getting a Premium tank.

The Harriers’ Gates can be reactivated up to three times for credits.

• The first replacement costs 25,000 credits, the second 50,000 credits, and the third 100,000 credits.
  

The Engineer’s Gates can be reactivated up to five times for gold.

• The first three replacements cost 250 gold each, and the rest are 500 gold each.
  

You cannot replace your reward if the Engineer’s Gates drops a Premium vehicle or compensation in gold.

[h2]Exclusive Crew Members[/h2]

Ermelinda Jung and her Alliance antagonist, Villanelle Rapière, are ready to join the ranks of your commanders! Upon completion of certain event milestones, you’ll be able to recruit these unique characters with exclusive voiceovers. They come with 100%-trained Brother in Arms as a zero perk and enough XP to learn three additional skills or perks of your choice.


Neither crew member is affiliated with any nation, so you can assign them to any vehicle in your Garage. Initially, they can only be recruited as commanders, but you can change their major qualifications using gold.

If you retrain them to any qualification other than commander, their unique voiceovers will no longer be available. But if you retrain them as commanders, their voiceovers will become available again.

[h2]The Medals[/h2]

Achieve at least one victory over the Blitzträger auf E 110 or the Harrier Squad, and you will be decorated with the corresponding medal. There’s a third one, but getting it requires a bit of luck, as you need to defeat the Blitzträger auf E 220.


[h2]Special Bundles[/h2]

There are four special bundles available during the event. These bundles include free Keys that are required to play in the Blitzträger auf E 110. Plus, each bundle contains a set of exclusive event-themed decals to customize your vehicles, as well as the Engineer’s Starters to activate the Engineer’s Gate as gifts.

[h2]What Will Happen to the Keys and Starters After the Event Ends?[/h2]

After the end of the event on October 10 at 11:00 CEST (UTC+2), all unused Keys to play in the Blitzträger auf E 110 will disappear, and the corresponding number of Gates will be activated automatically. All items from them will be automatically credited to your account. All event vehicles will be deducted and all XP earned in them will be moved to the MS-1. All Collection Items, rewards, and loot from the Gates remain with you permanently. You will be able to play your battles in the rented Waffenträger auf E 100 until October 18 at 06:00 CEST (UTC+2).

[h2]Tune in for the Event Streams![/h2]

During the event, the streams on the World of Tanks Steam Store page will show you exciting gameplay from the event, so make sure to check them out while you’re taking a break from the action-packed battles between the Harriers and Ermelinda!

Join the Harrier Squad or drive the Blitzträger itself, and earn the right to rock out with the legendary Waffle in Random Battles!

(An excerpt from the personal diary of Ermelinda Jung.)
My father is of noble birth—and of noble soul. He’s a brilliant scientist, an underrated and misunderstood genius. His exploits are to advance humanity’s knowledge. And yet, the crooks of the Alliance are trying to hunt him down. They dare attack his base and distract him from his work, wasting his precious time. I’m sure it’s all driven by that malicious woman and her personal vendetta against my father. What was her name… Evillanelle?

What’s the point in exercising restraint? Papi showed them mercy several times. They aren’t learning from experience. (And jerry-rigging their uninspired crackling tracked gizmos doesn’t count.) Yet they are so overconfident that they’re about to assault us once again, thinking that the worst-case outcome would be just getting schooled and embarrassed.



Time to change the approach a bit. Add injury to insult. Zap these Harrier pests even harder. And if I hurt some of them… Consider it a sacrifice in the name of science. And if—God forbid—they know about my father’s absence and hope to win against his assistant… Well, they’re in for a ton of nasty surprises.

Papi is too much of an idealist. That’s no wonder: He’s a theoretician. The brain. He devises powerful and magnificent machines. I am different. I’m the hands that build those machines. Hands can be caring—but they can also hit. I LOVE to get physical. And I can hit way harder than my father.

They’re probably thinking they can corner me on my home turf. Really? Ha sparklin’ha. When the Harriers invade my personal space, I’ll send over some presents into their world. Several thousand will do. I was the one who made and fine-tuned mass-produced minion tanks. What they certainly don’t expect is mass-produced Waffenträgers.



Dearest Diary, if only you could think and speak… You’d likely cry in terror (and awe?): “Oh, Ermelinda! You’re about to start some major mayhem! What will your father say once he’s back from his adventures—to see all the sweet, exquisite, delicious destruction you’ve caused?”

Well, Diary, I may be all-powerful and incredibly bright, but I’m still my Papi’s little girl. And lonely little girls are often frolicking about. My experience tells me I’ll get away with this mischief…

As easily as one zaps a bug.

Dear players!

Earlier we announced that we would soon be giving all players from the CIS realm an opportunity to stay with Wargaming and continue playing World of Tanks via Steam. Since that announcement we’ve been carefully monitoring your feedback and fine-tuning the transfer procedure to ensure the maximum comfort for all players. We want to thank you for your questions and concerns as it helped us understand which aspects of the transfer need to be improved and which topics should be addressed in this article. Good job, tankers!

Now, we are ready to announce that the transfer procedure will start on September 20, 2022. Starting from this date, the following will happen:

1. CIS servers will be no longer available on Steam.
   
2. When you try to log in to your CIS account, you will be offered the option to transfer your account data to the EU server* and continue playing via Steam.
   
3. You will not be able to use your CIS account on Steam until you make a decision about the transfer to EU.
   

*If you don’t want to transfer your account to the EU server, check the additional information by clicking on this link.

We fully understand that this decision might not be an easy one and you might have a lot of extra questions about the transfer. We will try our best to cover as much information as possible in this article. Let’s dive into the details!

In this article:

1. Transfer: General Information
   
2. Transfer: The Process
   
3. Transfer: Frequently Asked Questions:
   
   
   • General Questions
     
   • Transfer Process Questions
     
   • Game-Related Questions
     
   • Clan & Referral Program Questions
     
   • Other Questions
     

[expand]

PLEASE NOTE: In this article, we will be using some terms a lot. It is crucial to know what they mean to avoid any misunderstanding:

• Transfer – the procedure of moving your account data from one realm to another
  
• Realm = Region = Server – an entity that holds players’ data and divides players into large groups depending on their geographical location for better performance and social aspects (e.g., CIS, EU, NA, ASIA)
  
• CIS realm = CIS region = CIS server – the realm which presently hosts the data of CIS players
  
• EU realm = EU region = EU server – the realm to which CIS players can transfer their accounts to continue playing via Steam. Operated by Wargaming.
  
• RU realm = RU region = RU server – the realm to which CIS players can transfer their accounts if they don’t want to stay with Wargaming and play via Steam. Operated by Lesta Games.
  
• Wargaming Game Center Steam (WGCS) – World of Tanks launcher which pops up after you press “Play” on the game page in your Steam Library.
  

[/expand]
[h2]Transfer: General Information[/h2]

This transfer campaign has been designed specifically for CIS realm players in order to give them the opportunity to move their accounts to the EU realm and continue playing World of Tanks on Steam. All the other regions remain without any changes (e.g., in terms of this campaign you cannot transfer your account from NA to EU, or from ASIA to NA, etc.).

The transfer allows the player to move their account data from one server to another while retaining all vehicles, purchases, resources, statistics, etc. After the transfer, the original account on the CIS server will be blocked and then deleted in 59 days. During this time period, every transferred player has a one-time opportunity to change their decision (more on that in the FAQ section).

The transfer procedure is available for all players that have an account on the CIS realm.

In order to use the transfer option, you need to have an email address and password added to your World of Tanks account. You can read more about the email binding and its benefits here.

[h2]Transfer: The Process[/h2]

Let’s go through the process of moving your account to the EU realm with the help of some screenshots:

1. Find World of Tanks in your library, update the game to the latest version, and click Play.
   
2. The WGCS window will pop up, telling you that you cannot use your CIS account anymore and you need to make a decision about the transfer.
   
   
3. Click on the big TRANSFER ACCOUNT button.
   
4. The system will then check your account data.
   
   
   • If you haven’t completed the registration on your account (you don't have an email and password bound to your account), you will be offered to complete the registration in Account Management. This is required to ensure that the transfer process goes correctly and you have access to your transferred account on the EU server after the procedure.
     
     
   • If you have completed the registration, you will proceed to the next stage.
     
5. The system will then check your account for any possible collisions. At this stage, we have three possible options:
   
   
   • You already have an EU account registered using the same Steam account. Since you cannot have two accounts on the same server bound to the same Steam ID, you will be offered to unbind your existing EU account from your Steam ID via Account Management and try again.
     
     
     
     
   • You already have an EU account registered using the same email as your CIS account. In this case the system will ask you for a new email and password for your transferred account.
     
     
   • You don’t have any collisions and you proceed to the next stage.
     
6. After you’ve settled any possible collisions, the transfer process will start. Usually, it processes all the data in just a few minutes, but in rare cases it can take up to a couple of hours, so don’t worry if it lasts longer than you expected.
   
   
7. As soon as the procedure is finished, you will get a message that the transfer has been completed, and you can immediately log in to your account on the EU server and play the game!

[h2]Onslaught: A New Mode to Test Your Skills[/h2]

• In this exciting new mode, battles take place with collectible and researchable Tier X vehicles only and in the 7v7 format. You must have at least one Tier X tank in your Garage to participate in the Onslaught mode.
  
• The matchmaker will be selecting both allies and opponents for teams based on the mode’s Ranked System. It will take your position into account and find opponents with a similar rating to yours.
  
• During the countdown before entering battle, you will be able to select a different Tier X vehicle in the pre-battle lobby or switch to a different set of equipment, shells, and consumables.
  
• All vehicles in this mode feature their own combat roles. Depending on your role, you will have a unique Role Skill with three levels of charge. The higher the charge level, the stronger the effect of the skill will be. To upgrade your Role Skill level, earn Prestige Points in battles for performing any useful action. You will earn more Prestige Points for actions that are most relevant to your combat role.
  
• By capturing Points of Interest on the map, you can activate Tactical Skills and help your teammates gain an advantage over your opponents.
  
• Instead of the classic three-player Platoons, Onslaught features two-player squads. You can also create a team of seven Commanders and fight against an opposing Super Platoon.
  
• Onslaught offers two lines of rewards. The first line features a unique progressive 2D style, Dog Tag elements, and more, and is based on your Rank. The second features more traditional, valuable rewards, such as bonds and pieces of equipment, and is based on the number of victories. You'll also be able to earn Battle Pass Points while playing Onslaught.
  

To make the new mode the perfect place for the best of the best to compete on an equal playing field, we're introducing many new gameplay mechanics. All of them are designed to further enhance Onslaught's competitiveness. Let’s take a look at them individually.


[h2]Pre-Battle Lobby[/h2]

In the pre-battle lobby during the countdown before battle, you can change your selected vehicle. Be sure to prepare it for battle, though—it must be repaired and have a full crew and ammo loaded. You can also select an alternative set of equipment, shells, and consumables. You will also see your vehicle and your allies at the starting positions on the map.

[h2]Prestige Points and Vehicle Role Skills[/h2]

All vehicles in Onslaught have special roles depending on their conduct on the battlefield. During the course of each battle, you earn Prestige Points according to your role and combat performance.

Depending on its role, each vehicle type features a special Role Skill with three levels of charge. All vehicles of the same combat role have the same skills. For example, assault heavy tanks have Field Repairs at their disposal, which, after activation, creates a zone that gradually restores the vehicle's and its teammates' HP within a certain radius. Assault medium tanks can use the Fury skill, which reduces reload time by a few seconds. There are many other Role Skills in the mode, so every vehicle will have the opportunity to better fulfill its purposes on the battlefield.

At the start of a battle, all Role Skills are unavailable. To activate a Role Skill, you need to have at least one level of charge. Perform your best in battles and earn Prestige Points to unlock and improve your Role Skill from level 1 to 3. The higher the charge level, the more powerful the effect of your Role Skill. Upon activation, you spend all accumulated charge. You can reuse your Role Skill after a cooldown.

Prestige Points also affect how many Rating Points you gain or lose, which are needed to advance through the mode's progression.

[h2]Maps and Points of Interest[/h2]

Battles in Onslaught will unfold on the following select set of Random Battle maps:


Some of these maps have been slightly reworked specifically for Onslaught to make the battles more engaging and competitive. We’ve added additional firing and cover positions, passes, etc.

Each map in Onslaught has special Points of Interest called Artillery Headquarters and Communication (Comms) Center. Having captured a Point of Interest, you'll be able to activate a unique Tactical Skill to gain an advantage over your opponents.

• If you capture the Artillery Headquarters, you can command an Artillery Strike on the selected area, stunning and causing damage to enemy vehicles.
  
• Capturing the Comms Center allows you to use Divisional Radar. Upon its activation, all enemy vehicles remain spotted for three seconds.
  
• Depending on the map, the location and number of Points of Interest may vary.
  
• The Point of Interest capture time is 15 seconds for the Artillery Headquarters and seven seconds for the Comms Center. Only one vehicle can capture a Point of Interest.
  
• To reset a Points of Interest’s capture progress, cause HP damage or critical damage to the capturing enemy vehicle. Accordingly, you will lose all capture progress each time you get damaged, and you won’t be able to capture this Point of Interest again for five seconds. However, your allies and opponents can capture this Point of Interest without restriction.
  
• If you don’t activate your Tactical Skill, you won’t be able to re-capture the Point of Interest it belongs to.
  

[h2]Fog of War[/h2]

To make battles even more unpredictable, Onslaught features the Fog of War mechanic. At the beginning of a battle, teams won’t know the location and strength (i.e., vehicle types and models) of the enemy forces until they’re spotted.

[h2]Get Ready to Fight in Super Platoons![/h2]

Choose to fight solo or create a two-player Platoon with your friend. You can also join a Super Platoon of seven teammates of equal rating and fight against an opposing Super Platoon.

To create a Platoon with your teammate, the difference between the highest and lowest Rating Points value of both players should not exceed 350 Points. If you want to fight as a seven-player Super Platoon, the difference between the highest and lowest Rating Points value among all players should not exceed 490 Points.

[h2]Battle Communication[/h2]

In Onslaught, you will be able to communicate with your teammates and coordinate your tactics via voice chat. This will be disabled by default, but you can enable it with one touch using the "H" key (default) or directly in the mode interface. All players who are in voice chat will be marked with a special icon.

The Platoon/Super Platoon voice chat turns into a team chat upon entering the pre-battle lobby.

If you have not turned off voice communication while in a Platoon, you will be automatically connected to the team chat at the start of the battle.

[h2]Compete With Equal-Rating Rivals![/h2]

Throughout the Season of the Griffin, your experience and individual mastery will be your main advantages. In Onslaught, the matchmaker will take your position in the mode’s Ranked System into account and automatically find opponents close to your rating. It will assemble teams of equal strength based on their rating gained in Onslaught. As a result, players will clash with each other in intense battles, fighting on an equal playing field to discover who is best.

In Onslaught, the matchmaker evenly distributes players of different Ranks and Divisions. Players who differ by 7 Divisions cannot be matched in the same battle.

[h2]Ranked System: Watch Your Mastery Grow![/h2]

Set yourself apart from the crowd with the progression system with a rating that shows your performance and reflects the growth of your mastery. The higher it is, the greater your status—and reward!—will be.

The mode’s progression is called Ranked System and consists of Ranks and Divisions. To reach new Ranks and Divisions, you need to win battles and earn Rating Points. Your rating directly depends on your results: The more effectively you battle, the more Rating Points you get for each victory.

You can also lose your earned Rating Points for defeats, draws, abandoning the battle before it ends, or long inactivity in the mode (more on that below).

In total, there are seven Ranks in the mode:

• Debutant
  
• Iron
  
• Bronze
  
• Silver
  
• Gold
  
• Champion
  
• Legend
  

The first five Ranks comprise four Divisions—D, C, B, and A—while the two remaining top Ranks—Champion and Legend—have only one Division.

But the most prestigious and honorable is the Legend Rank. Only 10% of the most skilled and persistent Commanders who manage to enter the mode's Leaderboard will be able to reach this elite ranking.

[h2]Leaderboard and Rank Inactivity[/h2]

Onslaught will feature its own dynamic Leaderboard in the game client. It will only display players who have reached the two top Ranks, Champion and Legend. The player's position on the Leaderboard depends on the number of Rating Points they have earned. If several players have the same number of Rating Points, the player who has played more battles in Onslaught will take the higher position.

If you are not active in the mode for a certain period, the number of Rating Points you've earned will gradually decrease. This mechanic will only apply to Silver, Gold, Champion and Legend Rank players.

In addition, each battle played in these four Ranks rewards you with a certain number of activity charges. These charges gradually fill your activity bar and cannot exceed 14 charges. Activity charges can also be obtained by reaching a Rank for which the rank inactivity mechanics apply (i.e., Silver, Gold, Champion and Legend). If you don't have any activity charges, you will lose a certain number of Rating Points, depending on your Rank.

[h2]Season Rewards[/h2]

Now, to the most tantalizing topic: rewards! The Season of the Griffin brings two lines of rewards.

The first reward line includes unique status customization items that will spark envy in other commanders. To get your hands on these rewards, you need to advance through the progression.

Learn more

After you play your first battle in the mode, you will get a unique progressive 2D style that can be applied (and then re-applied, if you wish) to any Tier X vehicle. You will immediately receive Level I of this style. As you reach new Ranks or significant achievements in a specific battle or series of battles, your style will gain new 2D elements, such as emblems, inscriptions (after completing special missions available in Onslaught), and camos.

The maximum Level VII style with the most imposing camo is awarded when you make it to the Legend Rank. In total, you can earn up to five copies of the style during the Season of the Griffin.

Reaching new Ranks will also earn you extra exclusive customizations, including the following:

• Unique Dog Tag elements, such as Engravings and Backgrounds
  
  

  

  

  
• Cool Griffin mastery badges for reaching the two elite Ranks of Champion and Legend
  
  

  
• Striking Legend of the Griffin stripe

[expand]











[/expand]
Plus, players in the Champion and Legend Ranks receive bonds daily as an extra reward.

The second reward line includes valuable in-game goodies (e.g., bonds, pieces of equipment, Personal Reserves, etc.) that you will earn for a certain number of victories in the mode. These treats will be distributed among eight stages. To complete each stage and grab your prizes, you need to win a certain number of battles.



Finally, after playing your first battle in Onslaught, you will be awarded these three 7v7 rental vehicles:

• FV217 Badger
• M48A5 Patton
• IS-4

All rental vehicles are replicas of existing tanks with the same characteristics and properties. They will remain on your account until the end of the Season and will be removed when it’s over.

You'll also be able to earn Battle Pass Points when playing Onslaught.

The Season of the Griffin is approaching fast—prepare your Tier X vehicles, and get ready to prove yourself in thrilling battles!
